Wood Rail Field Fencing
Wood Field Fencing
Here is an example of a basic field fence. Posts are set usually on 8′ centers and can be round or square. There are many different wire patterns and each has its purpose depending on what animals are going to be contained or shut out. Firstly, there are the basic welded wires that are on the less expensive side up to the woven (Red Top) brand that is slightly higher in price but offers up a better fence. A top corral board is not required for many applications but helps keep the top rigid if you have livestock that is tall enough to bend the top. Upon meeting with us, we will give you a few estimates with a few different options to find the best fit for you and your animals.
Cross Buck Fencing
This here is still one of our favorites. It is functional and adds a great touch to the front of a property. The wire can also be added on the backside to help maintain animals from both sides of the fence. A top board has also been added here to give the fence a clean presentation.
Full Wire Field Fencing
If you are trying to really keep by-passers out or to keep larger livestock in, then Full Field Wire Fencing is a good option. 4′, 5′ and 6′ are standard heights with the even higher wire being available for special order.
Field Fencing gates
With every new fence, there is a need for a gate. The two primary gate types to consider are drive gates (big enough for vehicle traffic) and walk gates. Wire Backing is also available if you wish to contain animals with the gate area also. Though custom gates out of different materials are one of our specialties, field fence projects primarily use the following gates.
– Cattle Gates
– Custom Iron Gates
– Custom Aluminum Gates
Different styles and colors are available and we love working with new custom designs. Just shows us a picture of what you want and we will bring it to life.
Here are a couple of pictures of a cattle gates in different finishes and with and without wire.
Custom Iron Gates
It’s hard to be the beauty of a custom welded iron gate. They look great for years, are easily refinished, and add can be made into almost any shape and design.
Even though the design to the left is not one of ours, I had to include it here because I love the look of it, and also my welder is ready to add one of these to his resume.
Custom Field Fencing Options
Wood and Wire have many possibilities and only our imagination will hold us back. From Barbed Wire to sheet metal. Let us know what you are trying to accomplish and we will help you solve your fencing needs and get you Fenced Up.
Barbed Wire Fencing
Barbed wire is two stands of non-galvanized wire twisted together and having pointed barbs every so often along its length. Until the high tensile fence came on the scene barbed wire was the more predominant type of perimeter fence, especially for cattle.
The wire does not carry electric current very efficiently therefore it is not used as an electric fence.
Long-lasting as anyone who has purchased ranch land and found old barbed fence lines wire will know. If you do have unfortunate breaches in the fence, it is fairly easy to make repairs. Barbed wire can withstand a fair amount of tension but does break easier than high tensile wire.
Still best known as the livestock fencing option and is often used for cattle and horses.
Woven Wire Fencing
Woven wire fencing is a great option for many different livestock containment projects.
The size of the square opening created by the weave may vary with different types of fencing. Some brands will have larger openings at the top and smaller ones at the bottom.
Field fence can be purchased in a couple of different wire weights (gauges) and can be more difficult to repair and can break under high tension.
Since on a linear foot basis it is expensive it is commonly only used when fencing smaller paddocks that need to be more secure.
This type of livestock fencing is often used for sheep and goats and is not really justified for cattle and horses. It can be used with pigs and poultry depending on the wire spacing.
