A well-planned fence project starts with knowing your property lines and the linear footage you need. Over-estimating means wasted materials and money. Under-estimating means a second trip to the store and potential delays.
Before buying materials or getting contractor quotes, use LotSite to see your property on satellite imagery and pick out where the fence will run from the features you can see, like an existing fence or the edge of the lawn. The built-in fence tracing tool lets you draw your planned fence line and get its length in linear feet, which is what contractors and material suppliers need.
Fence permit rules and setback requirements (the minimum distance from the property line to the fence) vary by jurisdiction, so check with your local building or permit office before you buy materials. Always place your fence inside your property line, not on it.
