The Fencer's Diary: Build Borders Around Your Business in 2026

Why Every Fencer Needs a Professional Diary

Running a successful fencing business requires precision planning and clear documentation. From boundary surveys and post spacings to gate hardware and materials, it’s essential to track every detail — whether you're installing timber pickets, Colorbond panels, or commercial perimeter fencing.

A Purpose-Built Planner for Professional Fencers

The 2026 Construction Diary offers features that ordinary office diaries just don’t include:

Project Tracking: Document jobs from quote to completion
Boundary Records: Note property lines, existing structures, and underground services
Material Calculations: Track posts, rails, concrete, and fixings
Hardware Specs: Record details for latches, hinges, and gate locks
Site Condition Notes: Log slope, soil type, and access limitations
Client Requirements: Capture height and finish preferences clearly
Graph Paper for Sketches: Plan your fence lines accurately on paper
Tool & Machinery Maintenance: Schedule servicing for augers, nail guns, and post drivers

Built for Tough Fencing Conditions

The Construction Diary isn’t just practical — it’s physically built for life on-site:

Weather-Resistant Cover: Withstands mud, rain, and work ute abuse
Reinforced Corners: Prevents damage inside toolbags or trailers
Heavy-Duty Wire Binding: Opens flat while marking up plans or measurements
Job-Friendly Layout: Fast access to daily logs and checklist formats
Storage Pocket: Keep permits, dockets, and invoices secure

Set Your Fencing Business Up for Success

Reduce delays by tracking material needs across sites
Record variations clearly to avoid disputes
Keep professional records of all boundary agreements

Staying organised when your'e busy can be a struggle

Paperwork

Ok, so everyone isn't this bad... but sometimes notes, receipts, orders and the rest can get lost in the chaos that is a busy tradie's life. Wouldn't it be great to keep it all in one place, easy to refer back to when needed? This is all possible with the Tradie Diary.
