About the template
What this fencing invoice template covers and why it gets paid fast
Fencing invoices stall when the totals are bundled. The template below shows linear metres installed, post count, footings poured, gates fitted, and old-fence removal completed and each matched against the quote.
12-month workmanship warranty and the timber manufacturer warranty are stated on the invoice. Customer pays the balance within 7 days of completion.
What to include
Every fencing contractors invoice should have these lines

Common mistakes on fencing contractors invoices
The patterns that quietly lose jobs, get queried at payment time, or leave money on the table.
Mistake: Deposit not shown on balance
Better: Always show 'Less: deposit paid'. Customer matches the running total to the balance owed.
Mistake: No warranty period stated
Better: State '12-month workmanship warranty, 15-year manufacturer warranty on treated timber'.
Mistake: Bundling old-fence removal
Better: Show removal and disposal as separate lines. Customer paid for both and expects to see them on the invoice.
Mistake: Boundary survey reference not retained
Better: If a survey peg or marker was set, state its location on the invoice for future reference.
Mistake: Treated timber chemical disclosure missing
Better: Pressure-treated timber typically uses CCA, ACQ, or MCA. State the chemistry for the customer's records.
Mistake: Stain or paint required date not stated
Better: If timber should be stained within X months for warranty, state the deadline on the invoice.
