How to estimate fence
A fence estimate starts with the total run in linear feet and your post spacing (commonly 8 feet). The number of posts is the run divided by the spacing, plus one for the end. Each section usually takes three rails, and pickets are the run divided by the picket width.
Set your post, rail, picket and concrete prices plus your per-foot install time in Settings, and CraftTools turns the material list into a priced, client-ready quote — including the concrete for setting the posts.
Frequently asked questions
How many fence posts do I need?
Divide the fence length by your post spacing (commonly 8 ft) and add one end post. This calculator does it and prices the full job.
How much does fence installation cost?
Installation is often quoted per linear foot; set your crew rate and per-foot time in the estimate to match your market.
