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 on satellite imagery and identify your boundary from the features you can see. 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.
