Get dead-straight fence lines without guessing or rework.
This simple drone trick can save time, labour, and costly mistakes.
In this video, I’m with Jake Booker in steep country near Tumut NSW, showing how a basic drone can be used like a scope to line up fence posts with surprising accuracy. By using built-in grid settings, you can project a straight line over long distances and set posts within around 50mm accuracy — even across steep hills.
This matters because poor alignment wastes time and effort, as well as weakening your fence and causing misalignment with existing fences. Whether you’re fencing new ground or replacing old lines, this method gives you a repeatable, visual system that improves accuracy and efficiency on the job.
If you’re a fencing contractor, farmer, or property owner working in uneven country, this is a practical tool worth understanding.
This video covers drone fence line setup, how to use DJI grid and crosshair overlays for alignment, fencing accuracy techniques, and practical applications for rural property fencing. It’s relevant for Australian, US, and UK farmers looking to improve fencing efficiency, reduce errors, and adopt simple technology in the field.
