This guide covers business setup, insurance, the practical realities of pricing closeboard versus feather-edge versus panel work, boundary-dispute handling, builders' merchant accounts, and the first-90-days checklist for moving from employed fencer to running your own van.

Made for the work
Built around the work you do every day.
Fencing contractors need paperwork that is as sturdy as the panels they fit. Our templates give you a professional set of documents for quoting, invoicing and managing fencing jobs — so you look the part on paper as well as on site.
The pack is shaped around day-to-day situations such as:
Materials specification (panel grade, post size, concrete quantity) handled by trade memory, and customer expectation drifts past what was quoted
Per-metre vs per-panel vs full-replace pricing inconsistent across jobs, with underlying earn-per-day hard to read at quarter-end
