Farm & Agricultural Fencing Midland, TX

Initial Consultation and Quoting

The first step is for our specialists to get a clear understanding of your unique fencing requirements. We will schedule a site visit at your convenience to inspect the area needing a fence and identify any specific considerations – such as terrain, soil conditions, space limitations etc.

You can walk us through what types of animals need containing, entry/exit points, gates required, and other specifications you may have. We will provide guidance on optimal fence height, post type, and materials based on your needs and budget.

Once we have all the necessary information, we will provide you with a detailed written quote outlining exactly what the project will entail and the total costs involved. You can go over the plan and quote, get any questions answered, and give us the go-ahead when you are ready to proceed.

Preparing and Marking the Site

Before fence installation can begin, we take the time to properly prepare the site area. This involves marking fence lines clearly with spray paint or stakes so the boundaries are very defined. We will communicate with you to ensure accurate property lines and placement.

Our team will also remove any trees, brush, rocks or other obstructions that need clearing along the planned fencing route. And we can grade terrain if the ground is uneven. Proper site prep helps the fencing posts and materials to be installed smoothly, safely for your property, workers and livestock.

Installing Support Posts

The foundation of every quality farm fence lies in its support posts. We dig sturdy holes and sink pressure-treated 4” x 6” wooden posts or 2.5” steel posts down into solid ground. Post depth and spacing is customized based on factors like fence height, ground firmness, and types of animals contained.

For example, a 5 foot high cattle fence requires posts placed 8 feet to 10 feet apart and set 2 to 3 feet into the dirt. While a 4 foot poultry fence sees posts positioned up to 6 feet apart sunk 18 inches minimum below ground.

Properly planted support posts reinforce the entire fencing structure against animal pressure, wind, rain and more.

Attaching Fence Framework and Wires

Now the real fencing construction work begins! Our professional fencing crew gets to work attaching all necessary horizontal, vertical and diagonal structural components to the installed posts with galvanized fasteners.

These wires create the all-important robust framework to hold mesh, panels or other fencing materials selected. We tightly stretch wires across entire planned fencing runs – securing them to end, corner and gate posts to achieve desired fence height and security. If electrifying the fence, electric wires are integrated.

Installing Fencing Material

At this stage the sturdy fence framework is ready for the chosen fencing material to be attached using metal clips, ties or additional wiring. Depending on your selected agricultural fencing, we’ll professionally install any combination of:

• Welded wire mesh fencing with small grid pattern to contain smaller livestock like sheep or goats
• Heavy duty field fencing using thick steel wire is very durable for cattle
• Wooden picket fencing for visual appeal
• Vinyl fencing that never needs painting
• Decorative split rail fencing can line property borders

We pay close attention to proper spacing standards, fence directionality, gate reinforcement and ground clearance when fastening fencing to framework. This completes the enclosed barrier tailored to your animals and land.

Hanging Gates & Finishing Touches

Once the fence installation is complete, we take care hanging any gates properly to ensure smooth opening/closing and sturdy animal containment. Additional extras can be added like automatic gate operators for convenience entering/exiting pastures.

We perform thorough cleanup of all fencing supplies, tools and leftover materials when done. You are left with a fully-functional, tightly installed agricultural fence solution ready to serve your farm, ranch or livestock animals. We can further customize corrals, chutes and livestock pens as needed too.
