Barbed Wire Fence

Barbed wire fencing has long been a trusted option for both security and livestock control. Made with twisted strands of wire and sharp barbs spaced along the line, it creates a strong physical and visual barrier that helps keep animals in and unwanted visitors out. You’ll often see it in rural areas, along highways, and around high-security sites because of its practical and effective design.

One of the biggest advantages of barbed wire fencing is its affordability, making it a smart choice for covering large areas. It’s also easy to install, low maintenance, and can be combined with other types of fencing for added protection. Whether you’re securing a farm, industrial space, or commercial property, barbed wire fencing provides a tough, reliable solution that’s built to last.

Electric Fence

Electric fencing offers a smart, dependable way to manage livestock, improve property security, and keep intruders out. These fences deliver a quick, harmless electric pulse when touched—just enough to create a strong and lasting deterrent.

One of the great things about electric fencing is its versatility. It can be used as a standalone solution or combined with other fence types for extra protection. It’s especially useful for livestock, since animals quickly learn to avoid the fence line. With today’s technology, electric fences can also include features like remote monitoring and solar power, making them both convenient and environmentally friendly.

Welded Wire Fence

Welded wire fencing is a great option if you’re looking for something strong, sturdy, and easy on the eyes. Made by welding steel wires together at each crossing point, it forms a rigid grid pattern that provides both security and clear visibility. It’s a popular pick for everything from residential yards and gardens to pet enclosures and commercial spaces where durability really matters.

One of the standout benefits of welded wire fencing is its resistance to sagging and everyday wear. Its solid build means you can count on it for long-term performance—whether you’re keeping pets safely contained, protecting plants from wildlife, or securing a work area. With different wire gauges and weather-resistant coatings to choose from, you can find just the right fit for your needs and environment.

Woven Wire Fence

Woven wire fencing is a trusted and widely used choice for farms, especially when it comes to safely containing livestock like cattle, horses, and sheep. Unlike welded wire, which has stiff joints, woven wire is created by interlacing metal strands—giving it a unique combination of strength and flexibility. This design helps the fence hold up better under pressure, making it less likely to snap or break if animals lean or push against it.

One of the biggest perks of woven wire fencing is its ability to absorb impact, which makes it perfect for active livestock or even areas with wildlife. The open mesh design offers clear visibility while still creating a secure boundary. It can also be paired with wooden or metal posts to increase overall stability and lifespan.

With a variety of heights and mesh patterns available, woven wire fencing is a versatile solution for everything from pastures to high-risk areas. Whether you’re running a farm, a ranch, or managing a large piece of land, it’s a durable, long-lasting option that delivers both protection and peace of mind.

Round Rail Fence

A long-lasting round rail fence is more refined than the rugged look of a split rail fence. The round rails resemble cabin logs and the post joints are fitted with expertise by mortise and tenon.

Round rail fencing has been used for hundreds of years as perimeter fencing, and for decorative needs. It is also an excellent fencing option for those who need to be able to trim the grass directly under the fence without destroying trimmer string through impact with the fence. Wood round rail fencing provides a strong, long-lasting solution for fencing along boundaries.

Split-Rail Fence

Split rail fencing is a classic choice that offers timeless beauty and affordability. It’s especially popular here in Northwest Missouri for those wanting to add rustic charm and enhance the curb appeal of their property. While split rail fences can serve a variety of purposes, they’re most often used as perimeter fencing to mark property lines with a natural, welcoming look.

One of the most trusted and economical fencing options, split rail fences not only define spaces but also help protect horses, livestock, and even pets. For added security, we can include welded wire to help keep dogs and smaller animals safely contained without sacrificing the open, rustic style that makes split rail fencing so appealing.

Absolutely! Farm fences can be installed on sloped land using stepped or racked installation methods, ensuring a secure and even fence line that follows the terrain.

"Stepped" Method

Stepped fences are designed to follow the contour of your land in a series of level sections, creating a “stepped” appearance. This approach is ideal for properties with significant elevation changes, as it maintains a consistent height for each fence panel while accommodating the slope of the terrain.

"Straight Line" Method

Fences built using the Straight Line method are installed in a perfectly level line, regardless of changes in elevation. This method works best on flat terrain and provides a clean, traditional look, ensuring that all fence panels are perfectly aligned and level.

"Follow Grade" Method

The method of “Following the Grade” allows your fence to contour closely to the natural slope of your land, maintaining a smooth, continuous line that hugs the ground. This technique is ideal for gently rolling landscapes, as it provides an aesthetically pleasing and secure boundary that adjusts seamlessly to the terrain.

"Line-of-Sight" Method

The Line-of-Sight method is used to ensure unobstructed views, maintaining a straight and level top line regardless of the land’s curves. This method is perfect for those who prioritize a seamless visual flow and a clean, uniform fence line.
