Fencing
Pipe & Wire
Welded pipe framework with woven or welded wire, for acreage and livestock.
What it covers
Pipe top rail and corner braces, woven or welded wire, t-post or pipe line posts, cattle and drive gates, cross-fencing, clearing the fence line.
The detail
How it's built.
This is a different trade from back-yard fencing. It's measured in hundreds of feet, the ground isn't graded, and the fence has to hold against animals leaning on it for a decade.
Everything hangs off the corners. A braced corner assembly is what keeps wire tight across a long run; skip it and the run sags no matter how good the wire is.
Gates get sized to what actually has to pass through — a tractor, a trailer, a hay truck. A gate that's six inches too narrow is a permanent daily problem.
Wire is only as tight as the corner it pulls against.
What goes wrong
Corners and braces carry the whole fence. Wire is under tension for its entire life, and an under-built corner pulls in slowly until the line goes slack and the fence stops being a fence. Nobody notices a bad brace on install day.
Questions
- How is this priced compared to a privacy fence?
- Per foot it's usually less, but runs are far longer and the ground is rarely clear. The fence line itself is often part of the job.
- Can you cross-fence for rotation?
- Yes. Cross-fencing and gate placement get scoped together, because where the gates go decides how the property actually works.
