Satellite perimeter take-off
Walking 1/4-acre perimeter with tape = 30-45 min through mud, dogs and nosy neighbors. Miscalc by 8 LF = run short on the job or leftover material you lose. And you never calculated correct slope on the sloped backyard.
Olynx traces perimeter on satellite and calculates total LF with marked vertices (auto corner count), gates marked separately (single, double, walk-thru), auto post count per material spacing (8ft for wood, 6ft for chain link), slope adder for elevation change >5°, and material by type (wood, vinyl, chain link, aluminum, ornamental iron).

Mrs. López wants wood privacy fence in backyard. Trace perimeter: 240 LF, 6 corners, 2 gates. 6ft cedar @ $48/LF = $11,520 + posts + gates = $13,840. Signs + pays $4,152 deposit in 8 min.
