Agricultural Fencing Business Invoicing App (2026)
Farm fence quotes are per foot with corners, gates, and terrain priced separately, and the materials bill lands before you drive a post. ShowTheReceipts ($15/mo) builds the per-foot quote with add-on lines, collects a materials deposit at acceptance, and invoices the balance when the last brace is set.
How we picked
Entry-plan prices as published in 2026, checked against each vendor's own pricing page or a recent third-party summary. Judged on the fence contractor's real workflow — per-foot quoting with add-ons, materials deposits, and completion invoicing — not on multi-crew dispatch.

Per foot is only half the quote
The run rate covers wire and posts in a straight line. Corners, braces, gates, and rock are where the actual labor lives.

Frequently asked questions
Should I take a materials deposit on a fence job?
Yes — posts, wire, and gates are a large cash outlay before you've earned a dollar, and a deposit at quote acceptance covers it. Charging it by card the moment they accept makes it routine instead of a phone call.
How should corners, braces, and gates be priced?
Separately from the per-foot run rate. An H-brace and a 16-foot gate are fixed-cost items regardless of fence length, and folding them into a per-foot number makes short runs look wildly overpriced.
How do I handle rock, brush, or bad terrain?
Quote the run at normal terrain and state a per-foot or hourly surcharge for rock and clearing, agreed before you start. Discovering rock is normal; discovering it after you gave a firm price is expensive.
What about repairs versus new fence?
Bill repairs hourly with materials at cost plus markup, and new runs per foot. Trying to price a repair per foot understates the setup time that a short job can't spread across any distance.
