A Boundary Fenceworth looking at.
The customer wanted privacy by their pool. They didn’t want a boring fence. They wanted something they’d be happy to look at. We made the full drawings in ~90 sec. The job invoiced at $12,000.

Privacy by the pool. Without the wall.
The customer’s pool sat right next to the neighbour’s yard. They wanted the view blocked. But they didn’t want a boring fence. They wanted a fence they’d be happy to show off, not one they’d try to hide.
That sketch is what we started with. The shape was clear. The sizes were not. No batten spacing. No base plate dimensions. No curve radius. Our job was to fill in the numbers and turn the sketch into real drawings. Drawings the metal merchant and the welder could both build from.
Three options. Same morning.
The plan was simple. A curved screen at the end of the pool, where the neighbours could see in. Standard straight panels along the rest of the pool. Same battens, same base plates, same finish. The only thing left to decide was the shape of the curve.
The customer didn’t have to pick the first option. They wanted to see a tighter curve. Then a longer straight bit before the curve. Then the curve flipped to the other end.
The old way of doing this is three drafting sessions. Three invoices. Two or three days of waiting. The new way is three quick changes to the same form. Three drawings on the screen. Same morning.
Tighter quarter-circle
curve_radius_mm: 200
Longer straight before the curve
curve_start_mm: 1800
Curve flipped to the road end
curve_flip: "yes"
They picked Option C, the one with the curve flipped to the road end. From sketch to final design in under an hour.
Site dimensions in. A4 drawing pack out.
Both fences use the same simple form. Type in your sizes. Hit generate. You get a full A4 drawing pack with the dimensions on every sheet. The curved version has four extra boxes for the curve shape.
Below are the drawings the customer approved. Drag to flip through the sheets, or click to open full-screen.
The same model the customer approved. Before we cut any metal.
Every drawing above comes from one 3D model. The model is rebuilt from your sizes. Nothing is stretched from a template. Drag to rotate the screen below. It’s exactly what the customer saw before they said yes.
Material on order before lunch.
The cutting list comes out at the same time as the drawings. So does the total weight and the material cost. No second tool needed. No measuring and adding by hand. By the time the drawings finished printing, the metal order was already on its way to the merchant.

What this meant for the shop.
Same morning the brief came in.
Quoted straight off the drawing pack.
No drafter. No revision fees.
No late nights drafting. No drafter to pay. No two days of waiting on revisions. The shop quoted right off the drawings. They ordered the metal that morning. They were cutting it the next day. The next custom job will go the same way.
