Add Fencing
To add fencing, select the Fencing Tool from the left-hand panel, then choose the type of fence you want to add.
Click to start drawing your fence and continue clicking to create each segment.
As you draw, you'll see the total fence length, helping you quickly understand how much fencing is required.
To complete a section, double click.
Edit Fencing Details
Once your fencing is created, you can edit its details in the right-hand panel.
In the Attributes tab, you can:
Rename the fencing
Assign a supplier
Add custom attributes
Add event-specific information
You can also adjust the segment length, which defines how long each panel is.
This allows EventLab to calculate how many fencing panels are required, making planning equipment and logistics much easier.
Save as a Custom Fence
If you regularly use a specific segment length, you can save time by creating a custom fencing object. Instead of manually updating the segment length each time, you can:
Create a fence line
Adjust the segment length in the right-hand panel
Click the three dots in the top right
Select Save as Custom Object
Give it a name (e.g. by supplier or event)
You can then reuse this custom fence in future maps without needing to reconfigure it each time.
Style Your Fencing
In the Styles tab, you can customise how your fencing appears on the map.
You can:
Change border color
Adjust stroke width
This helps you visually distinguish between different fencing types or zones.
