Fence layout app: sketch fence plans with posts, gates and lengths
Sketch the fence the way you would on paper: the runs along the property line, the posts, the gates. Lekh straightens your lines and cleans up the shapes. Trace over a screenshot of the yard if you like, turn on scaling to draw to scale, write each length on, and send the customer a tidy PDF.
How to sketch a fence layout in Lekh
1.Set the scale, if you want one. In the board settings, turn on scaling and choose inches or cm. Shape sizes then show in those units. Or skip it and sketch freely.
2.Draw the runs. Sketch each fence run as a line; Lekh straightens it. Add posts and gates as small shapes along the run.
3.Use the yard as a guide. Import a satellite or site screenshot and trace the fence over it.
4.Write the lengths and send it. Add each run's length and notes as text, then export a PDF for the quote.
