For all the peace and tranquility a farm or ranch provides, unwanted trespassers sometimes come up – mostly in the form of deer and other wildlife. Protect your livestock, agriculture, and property with durable ranch fencing for the greater Austin area.
Browse through our gallery to see all types of applications including garden enclosures. Also, checkout our cattle panel fencing gallery for more ranch fence solutions.
Farm and ranch fences, including horse rail and game fence, have a timeless look that’s useful for ensuring livestock are where they need to be.
Keep unwanted guests out with a ranch fence around the perimeter of a property. 8-foot game fences help keep out deer and other leaping animals. Other solutions to enclose a ranch or farm include cedar split rail, horse rail, and barbed wire.
For your garden, we can also install a deer proof enclosure using a combination of cattle panel, chain link, or game fence.
When a more rigid or aesthetic application is desired, we also install pipe rail fencing and gates using galvanized pipe and other materials. Or, dress up the main entrance with a nice pipe rail or ornamental iron gate.
Types of Farm and Ranch Fencing
Cedar Split Rail Fences
Cedar Split rail fences are ideal for agriculture and livestock, are easy to install, and are durable. These fences can be used for perimeter perimeters or as enclosures for cattle, horses, and pets. Cedarwood fences are great for ranches due to their rustic appearance and protection against harsh weather and roaming animals.
Cattle Panel Fences
Cattle panel fences on farms are commonly used to protect livestock, including cattle, pigs, and horses. These fences are perfect for your yard or garden and around a large property. Cattle Panel Fences are made of galvanized steel and western red cedar, which add a rustic touch to any yard.
Horse Rail Fences
A horse rail fence is a traditional farm and ranch-style fencing option made from treated pine posts or round pine timbers. Horse rail fences come in 3-rails or 4-rails, typically at 4ft. or 5ft. high. This type of fence enhances rural properties and can be incorporated with woven wire to control small animals.
Welded Wire Fences
Welded wire fencing is made of rigid wires arranged vertically and horizontally with welded joints. These fences are commonly used for confining small animals, including chickens and gardens. Welded wire fencing is typically made from 16-gauge or 14-gauge wire and is available in rolls ranging from 24, 36, 48, or 60 inches wide.
Post and Rail Fences
Post and rail fencing is a durable, natural-looking fence for farms and ranches, offering a natural look and long-lasting durability. It consists of vertical wooden posts with 3-4 horizontal rails. These fences require regular maintenance, like painting, to prevent deterioration.
