Steps to create a fencing plan
Show all
Hide all
Define the area
Draw the area where your balustrade will be located. Take note of important features, such as:
- Your house position
- Concrete and decking
- Existing structures
- Posts or brick columns
- Stairs
- Any object in the path of the balustrade
Take measurements
Measure the distances between points of your balustrade line and write them on the plan.
Be sure to measure where the fence will be ie. 100mm in from the edge of the deck (as seen in the example)
Calculate panels sizes
Divide each section into equal sized panels, allowing for gaps and gates.
Panel sizes range from 800mm-1600mm
To get a general idea of how this can work for you, try our fencing calculator.
Or send your plan through and we can help.
