Yard boss · 8 min read
We got your back on this job
Good driving is half the battle in 2026. The other half is running proof like an operator.
- Time: Storm blowdown photos timestamped · GC gets facts before the blame game.
- Money: Perimeter disputes eat crew days · proof link ends the thread faster.
- Habit: Line set + gate clear every install · no sketch on a napkin.

Not legal advice. FieldDrop is documentation tooling only. Linked cases are public sources; outcomes depend on facts and jurisdiction. Read the original opinions before relying on them.
Insurers ask whether fence lines were set per plan before wind events. Gate and line photos at drop are the operator defense.
Perimeter receipt grade adds stamp strip detail for GC portals.
Fence lane: line set and gate clear on the record. Perimeter proof that looks pro.
