Livestock Find the Weak Stretch First
Farm fence fails at the corners and the gates. We brace every corner with H-braces and hang gates on posts that won't move.
Farm Fence Built for Animals and Weather
Corner and gate posts set 4 feet deep, line posts driven or set on 8–10 foot centers, all wire tensioned properly.
Woven wire on T-posts
Field fence or 2x4 no-climb mesh on steel T-posts with wood corners. The economical pasture perimeter.
3-rail board fence
Rough-sawn 1x6 oak or treated boards on 4x4 or round posts. The classic acreage look along drives and paddocks.
4-rail board with mesh
Four boards with no-climb mesh behind them, or flex-rail. Safe for horses, keeps dogs in and predators out.
We also run high-tensile electric and install automated drive gates for acreage entrances. Request a free estimate.

What to Know Before You Fence Acreage
How much does farm fencing cost per foot in Iowa?
Woven wire on T-posts runs $5–$9 per foot installed; 3-rail board $18–$28; 4-rail with mesh $25–$38. A quarter-mile of board fence is a $25,000–$35,000 project.
How far from Des Moines do you travel for farm fence?
About 60 miles for agricultural work — Ames, Newton, Winterset, Indianola, Pella and the acreages in between. Larger jobs further out, ask.
What wood lasts longest for board fence?
Rough-sawn white oak boards outlast treated pine and look better as they gray. Posts should always be treated or steel; untreated oak posts rot in 8–10 years.
Do you do fence for horses specifically?
Yes. No barbed wire, no square-mesh that catches hooves — board, no-climb mesh or flex-rail only, with rounded hardware and gates wide enough for a horse trailer.
Workmanship warranty
If a post we set heaves or a gate we hung sags, we come back and fix it. Materials carry the manufacturer's warranty on top.
Why not wait?
Every winter a leaning fence leans more. Lumber and labor don't get cheaper, and the dog isn't getting slower. Build it now and have the yard this season.
