Barbed Wire Fencing Midland, TX

Planning and Design

We do not take a one-size-fits-all approach when recommending barbed fences in Midland, TX. Every client has unique requirements and considerations. Our certified Midland fence contractors initiate the process by visiting the property for precise measurements and visual inspection.

They analyze the intended purpose, terrain landscape, soil conditions, aesthetic preferences, environmental factors, property size, access points, local requirements and other variables that impact barbed wire fence choice and placement.

Customized drawings and specifications are then created that cover all necessary details – fence height, post spacing, barb type/configuration, number of wire strands, gates, corners and end posts.

Material Procurement

There is no cutting corners when it comes to barbed wire fence material selection. We only utilize the highest grade commercial barbed wire and associated hardware from trusted manufacturers that comply with ASTM international standards. Based on the fence design, a material list is prepared consisting of –

Galvanized high tensile steel line wire Barbed wire with 2, 4 or 6 points in various spacings Wood, metal, concrete or fiberglass posts Caps, rings, tension bands, tension springs, turnbuckles etc.
Gates and gate hardware

Sourcing high quality materials in bulk ensures we complete projects efficiently while passing great value to Midland homeowners and business owners.

Fence Installation Process

The actual barbed wire fence construction process consists of several steps carefully executed by our experienced Midland fencing contractors:

Post Hole Excavation

Based on the planned post spacing, holes are dug using an auger or manual post hole digger. Appropriate hole size depends on factors like fence height, soil type, wind load etc. Any underground utilities are located and avoided beforehand using private services.

Post Setting and Alignment The line posts, end posts, corner posts and gate posts are vertically placed into the excavated holes and backfilled with concrete for maximum strength and stability.

Precise alignment ensures the fencing remains straight and structurally sound. String lines may be temporarily utilized to verify proper positioning.

Attaching Wire and Other Fence Hardware

After letting the concrete cure adequately as per standard specifications, the barbed wire strands are unrolled and tightened between the terminal posts using mechanical fence stretchers.

Barbed wire, smooth wire, gates and other accessories are then attached as called for in the agreed upon design plan using rings, tension bands, brace bands, hog rings, tension springs, turnbuckles and other hardware.

Inspection and Quality Control Upon installation completion, the new barbed wire fencing is carefully examined to confirm conformance with the fence code and safety protocols. Any defects or flaws are immediately fixed and documented. Gates are checked for easy operation without sagging or dragging.

Clean Up

All unused materials and installation debris are promptly collected and disposed of properly. The worksites is left clean and orderly. We also provide any custom stain, sealant or other finishing options if required to match your unique functional and aesthetic needs.

Maintenance
