The fence quote tool prices the fences customers draw on your quote page. Set your prices here, then check what is still missing before you go live.

## Before you start

The **Quoting Tools** permission controls fence pricing. **Edit** lets you add and change fence items and run **Adjust prices**. **Full** is also required to delete items, change the price range or removal settings, and run **Replace pricing**. For roles, see [Create and Edit Roles and Permissions](/help/team/roles-and-permissions).

## Start from the standard pricing

**Full** users see **Start with the standard fence pricing** on the fence page. The standard set starts every price at $0 and includes two gate options.

> **Warning:** **Replace pricing** swaps your fence types, styles, materials, finishes, and add-ons for the standard pricing, and it cannot be undone. Gate options and removal options stay.

## Add fence types and styles

Select **Add fence type**, enter a **Name**, and select **Save**. Inside a fence type, select **Add style**, then select **Add height** under **Heights & prices**. Enter a **Height (ft)** and a **Price per foot**.

A style reaches customers only when **Show to customers** is on and one of its heights is priced above $0.

Deleting a fence type also deletes its styles and their heights, its materials, its finishes, and any add-on offered only for that type. An add-on shared with other fence types stays and is no longer offered for the deleted one.

## Set material, finish, and add-on prices

Select **Add material** or **Add finish**, enter a name, and enter a **Price per foot**. A finish adds cost only when it is priced.

Select **New add-on**, choose **Flat fee (each)**, **Per foot**, or **Per square foot** under **How it's priced**, and enter a **Price**. Leave **Which fence types is this available for?** empty to offer the add-on on every fence type.

## Set gate and removal prices

Under **Gates**, select **Add option**, then enter a **Width (ft)** and a **Price**. Each gate adds its price and takes its width off the fence length.

**Old fence removal** offers two modes. **One rate** charges a single **Price per square foot** on all old fence. **By fence type** prices each removal option per square foot. Only **Full** users can switch modes or change the one-rate price.

## Adjust prices in bulk

With **Edit** access and at least one fence type, select **Adjust prices**. Set **Apply to** to **All prices** or **Materials only**, choose **Increase** or **Decrease** under **Direction**, enter a **Percentage**, and select **Apply**. Decreases stop at $0.

**Materials only** covers materials, finishes, and style heights. **All prices** also covers add-ons, removal options, gate options, and the one-rate price.

> **Warning:** Adjust prices changes every price in the chosen scope at once, and it cannot be undone.

## Show a price range

In the **Price range** card, turn on **Show a price range**, then enter a **Low end** and a **High end** as percentages. Both start at 20, and each saves when you leave the field.

The low end rounds down and the high end rounds up to multiples of $50, so a $1,000 quote at 20 percent shows customers $800 to $1,200.

> **Note:** Your team still sees the exact quote.

## Check what is needed to go live

The fence page shows **Live** only when the fence is turned on, a public URL slug is set, and these checks pass:

- A style with **Show to customers** on has a height priced above $0.
- A gate option with **Show to customers** on is priced above $0.
- In **By fence type** mode, once removal options exist, at least one is priced above $0.

Materials, finishes, add-ons, and extra styles never block. Until all of that is true, the badge reads **Not live yet**. While a readiness check fails, its tooltip names the first missing step. It reads **Off** when the checks pass but the fence is switched off.

The overview and **Add to Website** use the server's status instead, which ignores gate and removal prices.

Until the tool is live, the overview lists the missing steps:

- No public URL slug. Set one under **Public URL Slug** on the **Settings** tab.
- A priced fence that is switched off. **Full** users turn it on with **Offer on quote page** on the overview.
- A priced quote tool that is switched off. Its step links to that tool.
- If nothing is live and nothing is priced but switched off, the list asks you to add pricing to at least one quote tool.

**Add to Website** shows the same list, and its **Copy code** buttons stay disabled until the tool is live. Then follow [Add Instant Quotes to Your Website](/help/instant-quotes/add-instant-quotes-to-your-website).

## How customers draw fences

On the quote page, **Add fence** stays disabled until the current fence has two corners, and a quote can include at most eight fences. The **Gates** tab stays disabled until a fence is drawn. While a customer places a gate, a gate size picker appears if more than one gate option is offered.
