Label runs
Keep the same run order in the drawing and RFQ.

2D Fence Layout Planner
Turn a sequence of measured fence runs into a shareable route summary and preliminary panel count.
Route planner
Build a fence line from straight runs and turns.
Add each measured run in sequence. Positive angles turn clockwise in the on-screen schematic.
Schematic plan only. Angles are relative turns, not survey bearings. Gate location, shared posts, partial panels, slopes, foundations, offsets and installation tolerances require a reviewed layout.
Handoff
Use the route as a measurement conversation.
The generated diagram is intentionally simple and cannot replace a site survey, CAD drawing or structural design.
Locate gates
Mark exact gate positions and clear openings on an attachment.
Record levels
Identify slopes, steps, walls and changes in ground condition.
Confirm interfaces
Show corners, existing structures, utilities and access-control points.
How to use the result
A direct answer, plus the limits that travel with it.
Use the result as a planning input, preserve the original assumptions, and ask the supplier to confirm product-specific values.
The layout planner turns sequential straight runs and relative turns into a schematic route, total length and nominal panel count. It communicates geometry but does not establish surveyed coordinates.
When to use it
Early route visualization, identifying missing turns and preparing a marked sketch for supplier review.
Inputs that matter
Run lengths in order, the turn after each run, nominal panel width and total clear gate width.
Worked example
Two runs of 20 m and 15 m with a 90° turn, 2 m of gates and 2.5 m panels produce a 35 m L-shaped route and 14 nominal panels.
Common mistake
Reading relative turns as compass bearings, or omitting gate locations, slopes, offsets and ground changes from the handoff.
