Apples and Oranges.... ArcSite is a software for an entirely different purpose. Fence Genius and the surrounding technology is the only platform to enable offsite prefabrication of post to post unique, software designed and directed fabrication. If your building fence onsite, your building fence panels on posts.... Why the reservations to building the same or better custom panels in a more efficient environment? Better quality control, inventory on hand, and a mouse click to the next jobsite 6 hours into the fabrication day....

@@fencegenius it’s a logistic nightmare at our scale. We would need double the SF to accommodate all the panels and moving crews out daily. Twice as much driving than needed, not scared of a little weather, work year round, only see this causing problems onsite delaying new jobs, already twice as scheduled out for installs as our nearest competitor, and make a good six figure income doing what I do. This is not practical for commercial installers, at least not around here. There are way too many issues come up in a regular basis weather it be unmarked utilities, huge boulders, old fence post concrete hard as rock, and so on. Customers change their mind the day of, or even midway into building the fence. The delays this would cause in the production process would be business losing and that’s not something a strong company will risk. You might get some new guys with just a crew starting out, seasonal, not worried about over spending or overhead….but seasoned professionals won’t likely even give you a chance, or stick with you long after running into a few issues. What’s your longest client? I’m trying to help you as a business, bc I think there is potential for specific applications, but your normal fence builder is gonna have a hard time with this. I’m certain this isn’t the first time you’ve heard this.

The Fence Genius Software Driven Production Pod is highly efficient and enables the best of quality. Thanks for noticing it can be in a 20' High Cube shipping container or a trailer of similar size.

Thanks for your question. If you look 18:30 into the video you see the top and bottom rail the boards are nailed onto and there is a 2x4 cap. We build panels to go between posts and screw each rail to each post with 2 - pcs 4" #10 Exterior Screws through predrilled holes that we drill in the process.

Thanks for your question. We are currently only focused on Wood. In the future we hope to bring in various Metal and Vinyl types. Chain link is currently a distant desire because we have the least to offer with chain link because we are focused on enabiling PreFabrication of Panels or Kits. (The primary goal of Fence Genius) But we have been told there is a need for better estimating and BOM with Chainlink so we are considering it. Thank you

With Western Red Cedar (Green Cedar Non Kiln Dried) in the NW we don't have an expansion issue, rather there is more of a contraction. IF someone is using Import Dry they need to induce gaps. Thanks for the question

Hi Daniel. There is only an iOS app at this point. Thanks for your interest.

There are regulations on corner lots but primarily on the actual corner due to visibility. But this is a backyard set far back from driver’s vision. Thanks for watching and for your question.

We would love to work with you on some of your projects as a fabricator. You set the posts, we can measure and fabricate, then you decide if we install or you install on your preset posts. Think of us like a cabinet contractor thinks of the factory that creates the cabintes, or the general contractor thinks of the truss manufacturer. Please reach out to us at info@fencegenius.com

@@fencegenius we would love that. We are on a run of chainlink jobs at the moment but would love to see how that process works

Part of the process isn't shown in this video but is shown in earlier MyFence videos. Our iOS App prompts the installer with the exact post cutoff height measurement, from the top of the uncut post and it also prompts to install 2 temporary hanging screws by telling us the measurements to the bottom of the top rails. After temporarily distributing and hanging, we go back and screw all panels to posts, removing that temporary screw. In this case, one person installed, and one installed final screws.

Its a Bessey Panel Carrier. They work fantastic!

We pre drill each of the rails and screw the rails to the posts. Didn't think that's something people would stick around to watch lol.

Thank you. It is really the software that enables the quality. Every panel is prefabricated offsite to fit every unique post-to-post location.

Haha we laughed too. This customer insisted his landscaping crew set the posts so they were all out of whack. Made it more difficult but never the less prevailed.

Thanks for your question. If you’re referring to Nominal 1x4 WRC Trim, with Actual dimensions 5/8x3-1/2 or 4 in our case, no, this would not be enough support structurally. (Even for a 4’ tall fence.) If perhaps you are using a true 3/4x4 Actual size, when you double that by applying to both sides I would guess it may hold up OK for a 4’ tall fence. Assuming proper knot structure and nailing process. But not something we would ever do. Both sides of our fences are equally as attractive. And the screws are uniformly placed in the rails to post location so they are also aesthetically pleasing. Thanks for watching

We pre drill 2 pilot holes in every rail end during prefabrication and as we take the panels off the trailer we conveniently pre set the screws before carrying to the installation location. On the posts we have a temporary screw set based on the software algorithms direction, which also dictates the post cutoff height, to rest the top rail of the panel on, temporarily supporting the panels. Then once all panels are set, we come back to fine adjust and screw the #10, 4” long exterior screws into the posts.

Great question. With the Fence Genius software, posts do not need to be exactly even. Rather after the posts are set, we measure the distance apart, any grade change, amount of post available, and any post to post rotation. From that point the software calculates a solution, and prompts us how to fabricate it offsite in a controlled environment with better tooling.

100% Western Red Cedar. (Alta #1-2 Face Boards) This system was unstained, but we frequently pre-stain custom colors and finishes before we fabricate.

That is so nice to hear Patty and we are so thankful you let us build your fence for you. It did add a nice bit of security and a lot of curb appeal to your house! And thank you for both this comment and the wonderful Google review you did that unfortunately Google deleted… (It seems to happen to most of our reviews) Andrew and I are discussing getting Fence Signs to put up, so thank you for the option to install one. Keep in touch and Thanks again!

We really like them as well. The customer in this instance went ahead and stained them after they were installed but while we were away and building the panels offsite. Turned out great

Hi Keith. We use 2 pcs 4" - #10 Deck Screws per rail and one pc same down through the cap into the post to help stop post twist. We initially hang the panels on temporary screws set at the dimensions the software tells us to from the rough post top. (Before it is cut to height)

Just curious what is awful? Is there a question we can answer?

Thank You Doug! It was a pleasure designing and building your fence for you and your wife. MyFence.com makes perfection happen by using the power of our Fence Genius Technology and Software and by fabricating each Custom Shaped Fence Panel OffSite, in a climate controlled environment with floor based equipment. Thank you!

The Hispanic helpers were unknown to us but the Homeowner that had us Fabricate the fence had them install the posts and they wanted to learn how to use the system so the Homeowner paid them to assist with the install. They were a great help and were very impressed with the ease with which the system went together.

Thanks for the comment. By producing offsite using a software generated workflow provided by the Fence Genius software and technology, MyFence.com can provide higher quality products with more predictable outcomes and consumer clarity than typical On-Site construction methods. MyFence.com is gaining many happy customers using Fence Genius and at competitive costs!

All fence panels are data. So if anything ever goes wrong, it’s as simple as re ordering the panel number in your system!

Thank you!

Thank you! A little technology to augment skill and enable contractors to do more work offsite can go a long ways!

Working with the two helpers that had no idea what they were going to do and their expressions when they were done so quickly was fun also!

Thank you for the comment! Just another walk in the park for the Fence Genius software!

Yes it is!

Hi Dave. Thanks for watching our video. Yeah, I probably go into too many tertiary aspects in the video and for that I apologize. Bottom line: 1) Establish a level line. 2) Reach down and measure distance apart and record. 3) Measure level line down to the lowest potential for wood and record. 4) Measure level line up and record. 5) Measure angle IF needed. We do this frequently and about a minute per panel invested in measuring brings many benefits with software and that time is offset with saved time on the install process. Thanks for watching.

@@fencegenius Just demonstrate on a fence itself, far more practical and easy for a novice 👍🏽

Hi Janella. Sorry I missed your question. Currently, Fence Genius is focused on Wood Only. In the next year or two we will bring in Ornamental and Vinyl. Thanks for your question and for watching the video.

Hey Randy. Thanks for your comment and for watching. I'm training an existing crew how to use the Fence Genius software and system. Not how to use their typical tools. They have their ways of doing things. I preferred the ladder approach myself, but everyone has their ways...
