When to use and what to include

Assign and adjust execution details online, then generate a field-ready work order PDF. Use this after the contract is signed and before your crew starts digging, so the installation team has the exact layout, materials, and site instructions they need.

What to include

  • Job site address, property access notes, utility locate confirmation (811 ticket number and date), and which property lines are marked (pins, flags, stakes) with any setback requirements.
  • Materials to load: exact post, panel or board, gate hardware, fastener, cap, and finish quantities, plus footing material calculated from the specified hole dimensions and product yield.
  • Layout instructions: starting corner, fence line route with section lengths, post spacing, gate locations with swing direction, and how to handle grade changes (step, rack, or trim to grade).
  • Installation sequence for the approved system, including layout, utility clearance, holes, posts, alignment, concrete placement, curing conditions and duration specified for the mix and loads, then panels, boards, gates, and final checks.
  • Completion checklist: all posts plumb and set, panels level and secured, gates swing freely and latch properly, post caps installed, site cleaned of debris and dirt, and customer walkthrough completed.

Common questions

Can I edit this Fence Work Order before work starts?
Yes. Update the crew, site notes, materials, tasks, and schedule in the guided form before downloading the final PDF.
Can I save this Fence Work Order and reuse its details for similar jobs?
Yes. With an account, save it in your history, edit it later, and reuse its job details as a starting point for similar work.
Can I export this Fence Work Order as a crew-ready PDF?
Yes. Generate a PDF your team can open on-site or print for job folders.
Should we set all posts before hanging panels?
Yes. Set all posts, check alignment with a string line, confirm they are plumb, and let the concrete set before attaching panels. Hanging panels on wet-set posts can shift alignment.
How do we handle the neighbor's side of the fence?
Record the approved orientation for each section after checking the design, property agreement, HOA terms, and local requirements. Confirm it before installation.
How do I keep work orders easy to identify?
Give each job a reference number and record its customer, work, assigned crew, planned date, status, and completion notes. With an account, you can save each PDF in your document history.
Is a work order useful for a small job?
It can be. A short work order records the requested tasks, price, planned date, assigned crew, and customer acknowledgment in one job document.
