A well-planned fence project starts with knowing your property lines and the exact 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 boundary on satellite imagery. The built-in fence tracing tool lets you draw your planned fence line and get an exact measurement in linear feet — which is exactly what contractors and material suppliers need.
Keep in mind that most municipalities require a fence permit, especially for fences over 4 feet tall. Setback requirements (the minimum distance from the property line to the fence) vary by jurisdiction — typically 2 to 8 inches. Always place your fence inside your property line, not on it.
