What this sheet is for
Get the boundary conversation written down and signed before the first post goes in, then record exactly what was built where.
Who it is for
Fencing contractors, landscapers and general builders putting up garden and boundary fences and gates for domestic customers.
How to use it
- Walk the line with the customer and tick the checks before breaking ground.
- Take one line per straight run: from and to, length, height, style, posts and how they were fixed.
- Record each gate with its size, which side it hangs on and which way it opens.
- Have the customer sign when the last gate is hung.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Every run and every gate on one fencing job, and the boundary conversation that happened before the first post.
The line was theirs. Where the boundary is belongs to the customer and their neighbour, not to you: the first ticks have the line you were told to follow written down and signed for before a hole is dug. Height limits and whether a fence needs permission depend on the rules where you are.
Write-on lines: Customer · Address · Date started · Installed by
- Boundary line walked and agreed with the customer
- Customer has spoken to the neighbour(s) affected

Questions
Why does the sheet ask about the boundary before anything else?
Because a fence on the wrong line is the dispute that outlives the job. The customer tells you where the boundary is and whether the neighbour knows; the sheet has that written down and signed for. Whether a fence needs permission or has a height limit depends on the rules where you are — check them.
