Overview
My Fences is where you define what you sell — fence types, heights, colors, and templates. Templates hold takeoff rules, catalog component mappings, labor time, and optional Lead Generator budget pricing.
Physical parts (posts, fabric, hardware) live in My Components. My Fences references those parts when an estimate runs.

My Fences vs My Components
| Area | Purpose |
|---|---|
| My Fences | Styles you sell, heights, colors, templates, takeoff logic |
| My Components | Parts, costs, SKUs, vendors, catalog organization |
Example: My Fences holds a chain link template for 6 ft galvanized. My Components holds the actual post, fabric, and tension band SKUs with vendor costs. The template picks which part applies on each line.
Setup order
- Fence Types — Add fence types and configure heights and colors.
- Fence Templates — Run the template wizard (Fence → Images → Posts → Components → Gates → Time → Budget Pricing).

Tip: Populate My Components before building templates. Use Catalog Tools to import parts quickly.
