Acreage Construction

Built for Tension & Longevity

A rural pasture fence is only as strong as its anchor points. Over years, soil shifting, wire tension, and animal pressure will cause weak corner posts to fail. Palisade Fence Co builds agricultural fences using heavy structural timber engineering:

  • Heavy-Duty H-Brace Assemblies

    We anchor all fence lines, corners, and gate openings with structural wood H-bracing and high-tension wire diagonals to distribute pull force.

  • Pressure-Treated Structural Posts

    All load-bearing corner, brace, and gate posts are heavy-diameter pressure-treated timbers set deep in concrete to resist soil shifting.

  • Machinery & Tractor Access Gates

    We install heavy-walled galvanized steel tube gates up to 16 feet wide, fitted with lockable farm latches and adjustable steel hinges.

How We Build

Pasture Installation Process

Building pasture and boundary lines across acreage requires coordination and heavy-duty machinery. Here is how our team delivers standard farm setups:

1

Layout & Clearing

We clear brush along the property line and stake out exact post paths to guarantee straight, legal boundary runs.

2

Setting H-Braces

We dig deep holes for corner and brace posts, setting them firmly to anchor the massive tension load of pasture wire.

3

Line Post Driving

Using hydraulic post-drivers, we drive wood or steel T-posts at exact spacing, ensuring consistent height and hold.

4

Tensioning & Lacing

We roll, stretch, and tension wire strands using high-capacity pullers, crimping and stapling securely to every brace post.

Palisade Integrity

The Rural Boundary Standard

Palisade Fence Co is the choice for rural landowners looking for structural fences that handle large cattle, active horses, and wild pests.

Decades of Durability

By using commercial-grade tension adapters and pressure-treated posts, we build farm fences that stand up to decades of weather and stock pressure.

Custom Topography Layouts

Whether your pasture covers flat loam or rocky hillsides, we adapt our tension lines and brace designs to match the natural terrain.

Predator Exclusion Upgrades

We can add heavy bottom aprons, predator guards, and specialty wire gaps to keep wild dogs and coyotes out of kidding/lambing pens.

FAQ

Common Questions About Farm Fencing

Learn about material spacing, timber types, heavy gates, and boundary laws in Northern California.

What is the standard post spacing for farm and ranch fencing?
For typical post-and-rail or split rail fencing, posts are spaced 8 to 10 feet apart. For field wire or barbed wire pastures, line posts can be spaced 12 to 16 feet apart, combined with heavy wood brace posts at corners and gates.
Which wood is best for agricultural fencing in Northern California?
Pressure-treated Douglas fir or Pine is commonly used for line posts due to its resistance to moisture and ground rot. Redwood or Cedar is preferred for rails and visible pasture lines because of its natural durability and resistance to warping.
How wide should a ranch gate be to allow tractor access?
A standard agricultural gate for tractors and large farm machinery should be at least 12 to 14 feet wide. For larger trucks or double-rig machinery, we install double gates measuring 16 to 20 feet in total width.
Do I need a boundary survey before installing pasture fencing?
Yes, we strongly recommend a professional property survey before installing long perimeter fences on acreage. Building a fence on a neighbor's parcel can lead to costly relocation disputes.
