Fences and gates
Fence 3D configurator: buyers plan a fence with gates and see the price
Fencing is sold by the metre but bought as a whole: panels, posts, gates, a side gate and a base. A photo of one panel does not tell a buyer how 60 metres with a gate will look or what it will cost. A fence 3D configurator works out the whole boundary and shows it together with the gates.
Short answer
What is a fence 3D configurator?
A fence 3D configurator is a tool on a manufacturer's website where the buyer enters the fence length and picks type, height, infill, colour, posts, gates and a side gate, and the 3D model and full price update instantly. Trimata builds it from your panel sizes, so enquiries arrive with quantities and a parts list.

What buyers ask before ordering a fence
- What will a fence around my whole plot cost, gates included?
- Will people be able to see into the garden?
- How is it built if the plot slopes?
- Do I need a concrete base, or are concreted posts enough?
- Can the side gate have an intercom and a letterbox?
- How long will a timber fence last compared with metal?
What buyers can choose in the configurator
The buyer enters the length of each side of the plot, and the configurator counts panels, posts and price.
| Choice | Options | Why show it in 3D |
|---|---|---|
| Fence type | welded mesh panels, metal slats, timber boards, louvred, profiled sheet | The buyer sees at once how closed the fence is and how it looks from the street. |
| Height and length | from a low decorative fence to a tall privacy fence, the length of each side | The price covers the whole boundary, not one metre, so the buyer sees a real total. |
| Infill and gaps | board width, gap size, vertical or horizontal layout | The gap decides privacy, which is easier to judge by looking through the fence on the model. |
| Colour | RAL colours for metal, stain or oil for timber, galvanised finish | A fence is long, so a wrong colour shows along the whole plot and is worth checking first. |
| Posts and base | metal or masonry posts, concrete plinth, stepped fitting on a slope | The model shows how panels step down a slope, so there are no surprises on site. |
| Driveway gate | swing or sliding, manual or automated, in the same style as the fence | The gate sits in the same fence line, so the buyer sees the whole entrance. |
| Side gate | widths, lock, intercom, letterbox, house number | Small extras on the side gate appear in place and are added to the price. |
Add-ons that raise the order value
Fences also sell driveway gates, side gates, automation, intercoms, letterboxes, post lights, a concrete plinth and fitting. Many buyers first ask only for the price per metre, think about gates later and often buy them elsewhere.
Once the gates already stand in the model, in the same line and colour, they are hard to delete from the order. The buyer sees that an entrance without a gate looks unfinished and adds it now rather than next year.
The plinth is another example. In a price list it looks like an extra cost, but the model shows the gap left under the fence without it, the one the dog will get through. That picture explains more than a sales email.
Which 3D format suits fences
| Format | Fit | When to choose it |
|---|---|---|
| 3D configurator | Strong fit | When the fence is priced by plot length and comes in several types, heights, colours and gate options. |
| 3D view with AR | Strong fit | When buyers want to stand a panel and gate on their own boundary with a phone and check the height. |
| Renders and video | Good fit | When you need every colour and infill for a catalogue or social media. |
| B2B quote builder | Good fit | When developers order fencing for housing schemes or businesses with long perimeters. |
