Fencing a new yard, closing in a few acres for cattle or horses, or putting a neat fence along the road at a lake lot? Tell us what the fence is for and roughly how far it runs.
Fence types
- Chain link: galvanized or black-coated, a durable pick for dogs and property lines.
- Vinyl: privacy, picket and ranch-rail styles that never need paint.
- Wood: privacy and picket fences in pressure-treated pine.
- Field and farm fence: woven or welded wire for goats, horses, cattle and gardens.
- Gates: walk gates and wide drive gates for trucks, mowers and trailers.
Rolling ground, clay and rock
Bedford County lots rarely sit flat, red clay holds water and frost works on shallow posts every winter. Clearing the line, setting posts deep and planning around rock keep a new fence standing straight.
