Ranch & Farm Fencing

Ranch and horse fencing, also known as farm or rail fencing, provides a versatile solution for property enclosure. This type of fencing can be crafted from wood or wire, presenting a variety of styles to suit different preferences. Available in heights ranging from 3 to 4 feet, our ranch and horse fencing options come with additional features like wire additions, ensuring the utmost security for both your property and pets. The installation of ranch rail fencing can be customized with 2, 3, or 4 rails.

When contemplating the ideal fence style for your project, several factors should be considered. These include the size of the area to be fenced, the type of animals to be contained, and the intended functionality of the fence. Our team is dedicated to assisting you in selecting the most suitable options to guarantee the safety and security of your livestock.

Horse Board Fencing

Board fences are a classic and timeless fencing option that is ideal for rural properties, consisting of horizontal boards attached to wood or steel posts, creating a strong and durable barrier that can withstand pressure from large animals. Board fences are typically made from wood; but when pairing steel posts and wooden boards, you can increase the strength and longevity without compromising on aesthetics. Board rail offers a natural and rustic look that complements the surrounding landscape and adds to the charm of rural property. With proper maintenance, a well-built ranch board fence can last for decades, making it a popular and practical choice for farmers, ranchers, and homeowners alike.

Electric High Tensile Fencing

Electric fences are one of the most economical fence types for your farm. Electric fences act as a psychological barrier for your animals and allow for a fence that doesn’t reduce the view of your land.

Coated High Tensile Wire Systems

Are you looking for a cost-effective option for your horse while also providing high visibility, safety, and minimal maintenance? Coated High Tensile Wire (Centaur Wire) provides a flexible, high-strength, and aesthetically pleasing option for containing your horse, ponies, or donkeys.

Pairing White Lightning and Centaur’s Poly ProPlus non-conductive coated wire will result in an electric fence that not only looks great while keeping a budget in mind but also is safe for your animals for many years to come. This option is available in White, Black, or Brown.

Pairing Centaur’s HTP Rail and HotRail provide a much longer-lasting alternative to traditional wood board fences while not compromising on safety for your horses. Electrifying this fence increases longevity and prevents cribbing behaviors that can be exhibited on woodboard fences.

Woven Wire Fence Guide

How to read a design number, and which spec fits your animals

Design numbers follow the ASTM A116 standard:
[wire count][height in inches]-[stay wire spacing in inches].
Smaller spacing means a tighter, more secure mesh at a higher cost; larger spacing means a wider mesh at a lower cost.
