If you own agricultural property or live in a rural community, you need to learn about the best fencing options for your specific needs. You may be looking to secure your livestock, define property boundaries of farmland, or protect various crops from wildlife. Whatever the case may be, choosing the right agricultural fence is essential.
In our years of experience, we have built many fences for farms and various rural environments.
Here are the top four agricultural fencing styles our clients ask for, each offering distinct advantages and appeal.
Top 4 Asked-For Agricultural Fencing Styles in BC
- Split Cedar Fencing
- If you have a large property, you may opt for a classic and rustic look. Split cedar fencing is a common favourite in the rural community and farm, for its traditional aesthetic, but also its build to last. Its rugged appearance offers a rural charm you would expect to see. But the main advantage is its excellent durability. Because cedar is naturally resistant to rot and insects, it holds up well in open fields and fluctuating weather. A split cedar fence style blends itself rather easily to the natural landscape, and as a bonus, there is minimal upkeep (perfect for that busy farm life).
- 2 to 4 Rail Fencing
- For those that have livestock or horses, this is one of the most requested styles. 2 to 4 rail fencing is customizable with two, three, or four horizontal rails between sturdy vertical posts. Aesthetically, this style is very clean and provides increased visibility. The open look is popular, allowing you to see the animals, while also keeping them safely contained. 2 to 4 rail fencing is created traditionally with treated, western red cedar rails, or Douglas fur; although other options like vinyl and powder-coated steel are available. It’s a highly functional fence, but also gives the classic ranch-style look.
- Round Post Farm Fencing
- If you have a large amount of acreage to board off, then you likely just need something strong, simple and practical. For those needs, the most common style is round post farm fencing. This install is rather easy, relative to the first two styles mentioned. The posts are paired with other materials such as wire mesh, wood boards, or rails. Round posts are ideal if you have uneven land masses and don’t need concrete. As a result, this option is highly cost-effective and versatile for all types of farm/agricultural usage.
- Wood Framed Mesh Fencing
- Our final most requested agricultural fencing is a mix of materials. Wood-framed mesh fencing is perfect for those who have areas where visibility, protection, and rustic charm are the main goals. This style is framed with cedar or pressure-treated wood, but then is filled with galvanized steel mesh, so you have a mix of wood and steel. It is commonly used for gardens, chicken coops, and smaller livestock enclosures where a trail-like aesthetic is desired in a residential area . It keeps out wild animals while offering airflow, and is also strong enough to withstand daily wear and tear.
