Gatepost Fence Planner

An offline-first productivity utility for homeowners, DIY landscapers, and small contractors who need to plan a garden or yard fence before buying lumber. You sketch a top-down plot outline, place line posts and corner posts, set target post spacing, drop gates with width and swing direction, then generate a realistic materials cut list (posts, rails, boards/pickets, hinges, latches) and a live cost estimate from editable unit prices. Primary workspace is an interactive top-down canvas with draggable posts and gates plus linked cut-list and cost sheets—fully free, no accounts, no network.
