Barbed Wire and Ranch Fence Company in Abilene, TX (Who Actually Call You Back)

Why Wire Fences Go Slack

Wire holds stock only while it stays tight. A corner post that leans gives up tension along the whole run, and a gap opens that an animal can use.

We brace every corner and stretch the wire in one pass, so the tension holds along the full line.

Why Choose Barbed Wire Fence

A line your stock respect

Keep your cattle on your side of the line. Barbed wire gives an animal a reason to keep its distance, and wire stretched tight between braced posts holds when stock lean on it.

Repairs that stay small

A broken strand is a quick splice, not a rebuild. You fix the span that took the hit, and the rest of the line stays as it is.

Gates where you work

You cross, load and move stock at gates, so they belong where your work happens. We size every opening to the widest truck, trailer or implement that will pass.

A fence that follows rough ground

Draws, rises and rocky spots make a fence line hard to run. Wire follows the ground where rigid panels cannot. At Everock Fencing we choose posts and bracing to suit the terrain.

Services That Go With a Barbed Wire Fence

Built to the Texas Standard

Texas sets a benchmark for a sufficient fence on land with stock. Under Section 143.028 of the Texas Agriculture Code, a barbed wire fence is at least 4 feet high. It has three wires on posts no more than 30 feet apart, with one or more stays between every two posts.

We use that as the starting point and size the fence to your animals. The standard covers pasture lines, boundaries and crossings between tracts. For land near Tye, Merkel, Baird or Anson, we begin with the boundary you point out and the stock behind it.

What Happens After You Get In Touch

Three steps, in this order. Nothing is hidden, and nothing starts until you approve the plan.

1. You get in touch. Send the short form or call. We can call you back and ask a few questions first, so we know what you want to fence and where. Estimates are always free.
2. We visit and quote in person. We walk your land with you, measure each run and mark the gate spots. You choose the strand count and the post spacing, and you see the itemized quote on site.
3. We build, you approve. We request the Texas811 locate and set the posts. Then we build braced corners, stretch the wire tight and hang gates sized for trucks and trailers. We tidy the work area when we finish.

What the Job Covers From Start to Finish

Layout with you. We walk your line, measure each run and mark the gate spots before any hole is dug.

Lines marked. We request the Texas811 locate before we dig. That call does not mark private lines on your land, so you point those out on the visit.

Posts and braced corners. Posts are spaced to the line, with braced corners, gates and line ends.

Wire. The wire is stretched tight along the full line.

Gates. Gates sized for your truck, trailer and equipment are hung.

Ranch Fence Layouts and What They Hold

Ranch and farm land uses a few fence layouts again and again. Each one does a different job on your property.

Cattle fence. Wire count and spacing follow the animals behind it. Texas sets 4 feet as the minimum height for a sufficient fence.

Boundary fence. It marks the edge between your land and the next tract. We build to the line you confirm, with corners marked or surveyed.

Cross fence. It splits a pasture so you can move stock from one part to the next.

Wire with a woven base. Woven wire along the bottom stops calves, goats and sheep that slip through open strands.

Gates and crossings. Heavy gates suit working pens and entrances. Wire gates suit crossings in the pasture.

Pick the layout by the animal and the job. A line that fits both holds its shape for years.

Posts, Wire and Braces That Hold the Line

A wire fence stands on its parts. We choose each one for the strain it takes.

Good to Know Before You Buy Wire

Barbed wire is built for agricultural land. Abilene’s Land Development Code supports it on farm and ranch lots, so you get the fence your acreage needs. Confirm your zoning first and your fence only goes up once.

Rules to Plan Around

A line you can point to. On acreage, we build to the line you confirm. Marked or surveyed corners keep the fence where you want it.

Lines marked before the first hole. Texas811 marks public utility lines at no charge. The request goes in at least two working days before the first post hole, and we hold the digging until the marks are down.

Your land decides the rules. Your town or county sets the local rules, so the plan starts with where your land sits.

Clear corners with your neighbors. If the line is shared, a short talk before the build keeps the corners and the gate spots clear for both sides.

Keeping Your Wire Fence Tight

A wire fence stays tight when you walk it. Five habits keep the line ready for stock.

Walk the line after storms. Look for fallen limbs, loose wire and any post that leans.

Check the braces first. A brace that shifts lets the whole run go slack.

Retighten slack spans. Wire that sags gives stock an opening. A turn of the tensioner closes it.

Keep brush off the wire. Brush and vines pull on wire and posts. Cut them back along the line.

Fix breaks right away. Stock find a gap quickly. A splice made early costs a few minutes.

What Shapes the Price of Barbed Wire Fence

Total length and the number of wires set most of the price. Post type and spacing come next, then the corners, since each corner needs a brace. The site decides the rest: rocky or hard ground, brush to clear, creek or draw crossings, the number and width of gates and access for equipment.

Estimates are always free. Quoting in person is the preferred way, because the measurements, the ground and the gate openings are all visible on site.

Walking the line costs you nothing. Bring three things: your boundary marks, a note on the stock you run and the gate widths you need.

Barbed Wire, Woven Wire or Pipe

Choose barbed wire for cattle and long boundaries. Choose woven wire when small stock share the pasture. Add pipe at the pens and entrances where animals push hardest.

You Go First After the Build

You walk the line with us and approve the corners and gate spots before the first post goes in. From there, every brace, strand and gate is ours to get right.

After we build your fence, any fix goes to the front of the schedule. You’re booked first. If the problem is the installation, we fix it.
