How to read the quantities
Twenty picket allowances × $16 = $320; 20 picket-installation lines × $18 = $360. Together those picket lines total $680.
What the example includes—and leaves out
Post movement can undermine a simple board repair. This scope assumes sound posts and excludes reset work until it is inspected and priced.
Outside this scope: No post replacement, gate rebuild, full fence installation, staining or concealed ground-condition correction.
Keep unresolved selections and site conditions visible. If a measurement, material choice or repair requirement changes, revise the relevant quantity or allowance and share the updated estimate before proceeding with the added work.

Common questions
Should a fence repair use the full fence length?
Use the components actually repaired. Full length is useful context but should not replace the picket and rail count.
What if a post is loose?
Document the condition and add a separate post repair or replacement scope after inspection.
