LIVESTOCK FENCING

Farm Fencing FAQs
What type of fence is best for horses?
For horses, we recommend board rail fencing, no-climb mesh, or vinyl rail fencing. The key factors are visibility (horses need to see the fence), smooth surfaces to prevent injury, and adequate height (typically 4.5-5 feet). We avoid barbed wire for horses due to injury risk.
How much does farm fencing cost per foot?
Farm fencing costs vary based on fence type, terrain, and materials. Split rail typically starts around $8-15 per linear foot installed, while board fencing ranges from $12-25 per foot. Wire fencing is often more economical for large acreage. Contact us for a free, accurate estimate for your specific project.
Do I need a permit for farm fencing in North Carolina?
In most rural areas of NC, agricultural fencing does not require a permit. However, requirements can vary by county and municipality, especially near roads or property lines. We're familiar with local regulations and can help guide you through any requirements.
What's the best fence for cattle?
Cattle fencing should be strong and durable. Popular options include high-tensile wire (cost-effective for large pastures), woven wire field fence, or heavy-duty board fencing. The choice depends on your herd size, pasture layout, and budget. We can recommend the best solution for your operation.
How tall should a livestock fence be?
Fence height depends on the animal: Horses typically need 4.5-5 feet, cattle 4-5 feet, goats and sheep 4+ feet (with consideration for climbing), and poultry varies based on whether the run is covered. We'll help you determine the right specifications.
Can you install fencing on hilly or uneven terrain?
Absolutely. Our team has extensive experience installing fencing on slopes, hills, and uneven ground common to North Carolina farms. We use proper techniques like racking and stepping to ensure your fence follows the terrain while maintaining strength and appearance.
