Farm & Agricultural Fencing Nampa, ID

Site Evaluation and Planning

The first step when installing new agricultural fencing is a thorough evaluation of your property. We’ll walk the site to examine terrain, vegetation, spacing needs and any other relevant factors. This allows us to develop a customized fencing plan addressing your specific requirements.

We’ll also discuss the intended purpose, whether containing cattle, horses, guarding crops or equipment storage. Our team asks questions to understand usage needs and operations. For example, do you move livestock between pastures regularly? How large are the animals? This data ensures we design durable, functional fencing facilitating normal agricultural activities.

You’ll be provided with a detailed proposal outlining our recommendations. This covers proposed fence types, layouts, materials, gates placement and any preparations needed before installation. You can approve the plans or request revisions until fully satisfied.

Pre-Installation Preparations

Once plans are finalized, we complete all necessary pre-installation preparations. This may involve clearing brush or small trees from the fence line. Other tasks like minor ground leveling may also be required.

For posts set in concrete, holes will be dug according to specifications in the plans. This involves properly spacing holes and digging to prescribed depths. Preparing post holes ahead of time ensures the installation goes smoothly and efficiently.

Fence Installation Process

Our professional crew takes great care with every fence installation to follow best practices and building codes. You can be confident your new agricultural fence will meet the highest quality standards, providing safety and security on your property for years to come.

1. Installing Support Posts

Posts provide the critical framework holding up your fence. For wood fences, we set wooden posts in concrete for optimal stability. When installing chain link, steel or other fencing, metal posts are set in the same fashion.

Proper depth, spacing and alignment ensures your posts stay standing up to decades of exposure to livestock, machinery and seasonal changes without failing.

2. Stringing Wire, Mesh or Attaching Planks

Once the support framework is in place, your preferred fencing materials are securely attached. For barbed or smooth wire fences, we tightly string horizontal lines using professional stretching tools. This creates evenly spaced, tensioned barriers suitable for containing large livestock. Gates include bracing wires preventing sagging over time.

With welded wire or chain link, galvanized mesh is pulled taut between posts. Stretcher bars and ties keep everything in place. For privacy or specific animal control needs, wood planks may be affixed to posts instead. Our crew has experience with all standard agricultural fence types to meet your specific requirements.

3. Installing Access Gates

Gates provide necessary access between pastures, pens and agricultural buildings. Depending on needs and preferences, swing, sliding or lift gates may be installed. Your plans detail suggested gate locations, styles and dimensions to suit equipment and livestock that will pass through.

Gate posts are cemented deep and solidly braced to withstand heavy use without leaning or becoming loose over time. Hinges, latches and gate materials are chosen for durability and functionality based on expected usage. Locks can also be added as needed to restrict unauthorized entry.

Post-Installation Follow-Up

We stand behind our work long after the job is done. Once your new fence is installed, we’ll walk the site with you making any necessary adjustments or gate modifications upon request. You’ll also receive a packet with warranty paperwork, copies of permits if required, and instructions on maintaining your new fence.

Ongoing maintenance like checking wires and post tension yearly extends lifespan substantially. But should any problem arise, you can rely on our service team for timely repairs covered under warranty where applicable.

We want your new fence functioning as flawlessly well into the future as the day we installed it.
