Oct 10, 2025

Fencing projects

Fencing projects should not begin with guesswork. Say goodbye to napkin sketches,piles of printouts, and cluttered spreadsheets just to figure out a price alone. With Draw It & Quote It by Betafence, planning your next fencing job, be it residential or commercial, takes just a few clicks.

Contractors handling multiple estimates and homeowners looking to upgrade their backyard will both find value in this intuitive, browser-based online fence estimator. The Draw It & Quote It tool acts as a digital planning assistant, designing layouts, exploring product options, calculating pricing, and generating order-ready details in real time.

No stress. No delays. Just smart, streamlined fence planning that helps you go from concept to quote faster than ever.

Why Traditional Fence Planning Falls Short?

Let’s be honest: planning a fence the old-fashioned way can be a real time sink. To begin, you’re out on-site with a measuring tape in hand, followed by some rough sketches on paper or your phone. 

Then comes the endless back and forth: which fence type to go for, checking specs, sourcing suppliers, calculating materials, and trying to get a quote that might change tomorrow. And if you’re a contractor, this isn't just once—it's the same story repeating over numerous clients and projects.

All it takes is one wrong move, an incorrect measurement or miscommunication on materials, and your product is delayed, inventory is wasted, or even worse, a frustrated customer. For many homeowners, especially first-timers, the whole thing can be intimidating and confusing.

That’s exactly why Draw it & Quote was designed: to replace the manual headache with a smart, visual, and digital experience that is easy to use. Now, you can finally generate accurate layouts, pricing in real-time, and go from concept to a quote instantly, all in one place — no more guessing.

What You Can Do with Draw It & Quote It

With just a few clicks, Draw It & Quote It can turn your fencing vision into a clear, actionable plan.

Whether you're a contractor juggling between estimates or a homeowner plotting your first fence, our all-in-one fence cost calculator empowers you to sketch, modify, and price — instantly from your browser.

Here’s how it works:

1. Visualize Your Layout

No more freehand drawing on paper. You can use the interactive mapping tool to digitally draw a fence perimeter right on top of your property layout — so no measuring tape or drafting skills required.

Whether you're enclosing a pool, fencing a front yard, or implementing perimeter fencing on a large commercial development, there is an easier way to plan your every segment, post layout, define entry points, and produce the correct layout that is clean and easy to build.

No more manual math. No more confusion. Simply drag and drop elements to design anything you can imagine, with ease.

2. Adjust Height, Style & Fence System

Every project is different, and now you can customize your fence to fit the job. Use the visual configurator to choose your fence height, style, and type.

Whether you want the contemporary elegance of TruView® ornamental fencing or the enhanced security from Prism 3-D or Securifor® 4D, a solution can be compared and customized on the spot.

Need to meet HOA or commercial regulations?

Adjust dimensions to fit compliance requirements without sacrificing style or function. You’re in control — of the look, the layout, and the performance.

3. Get Instant Quotes

Generate a real-time quote immediately after you finish designing your project. It takes all factors, from fence posts and welded wire fence panels to brackets, gates, and accessories, into consideration.

Gone are the days of waiting for a supplier to reply. You’ll get immediate pricing, which means you can adjust your layout or materials on the fly to fit your budget and for your client's. 

Cost clarity has never been this easy.

4. Download, Print, or Share

Ready to move forward?

A complete summary of the project can be downloaded with layout visuals, material list, and pricing to give you an idea. Print it for your install team, email it to a client for approval, or have it sent directly to Betafence for fulfillment. 

Whether you’re working with a full crew or handling solo DIY fencing projects, this feature ensures everyone stays on the same page, from plans through purchasing.

5. Designed for DIYers and Pros Alike

With Draw It & Quote It, contractors will get quotes faster, plan jobs better, order materials easier, and avoid expensive mistakes. For first-time homeowners or weekend warriors, it can take the guesswork out of figuring the right style and calculating fencing cost — all without needing to speak to a contractor.

Why It Matters for Your Workflow?

Planning mistakes cost more than just money — they cost time, credibility, and customer trust. Miscalculating how many fence posts you need, forgetting a gate, or overlooking something as simple as corner brackets can throw off your entire project timeline and eat into your budget.

Draw It & Quote It was created to exclude those risks and instead, instill confidence and efficiency.

This is how it assists:

  • Saves Time: There is no need to switch between tools or chase down pricing anymore. Receive your layout, material list, and quote in one seamless session.
  • Increases Accuracy: Built-in visual guides and real-time calculations make sure nothing gets missed. You will get to know the precise number of posts, panels, gates, and accessories you require, before the project.
  • Improves Communication: Create clear, shareable plans that keep everyone — from installers to procurement — on the same page. Fewer surprises. Fewer mistakes.
  • Streamlines Ordering: Download a complete, organized parts list and place your order without the usual back-and-forth. It's fast, simple, and frustration-free.

For fencing contractors, that means faster estimates, more reliable bids, and jobs that stay on track. For DIYers, it’s peace of mind — knowing you’ve planned your project correctly and won’t be making extra trips to the store.
