Jacksonville, NC considerations
Rural properties in Onslow and Jones County have very different fencing needs than urban Jacksonville. Soils range from sandy near the coast to heavier clay further inland. Long fence runs need proper corner-bracing and gate spacing — equipment, tractors, and feed deliveries all need access. We tend to walk the line in person on farm projects because terrain, trees, and access points shape the build.
What drives farm fencing pricing
We don't post exact prices because every project is different. These are the factors that matter most when we work up an estimate.
Long runs spread setup cost over more length, often per-foot price drops vs. a short run.
Barbed wire is cheaper per foot; high-tensile and woven wire cost more but contain different animals.
Wood vs. steel posts, plus spacing based on animals and terrain.
Wide farm gates (12'-16') cost more per opening than a single walk gate.
Wooded or overgrown property lines need clearing before the build.

Frequently asked questions
How far apart should farm fence posts be?
Depends on the fence type and the livestock. Woven wire and high-tensile usually have 10'-16' spacing; wood ranch rail is usually 8'.
Do you do long-run pasture fencing?
Yes, including longer runs on rural properties. We'll discuss equipment access and access points.
Can you handle wooded property lines?
We can fence along wooded lines, though tree removal, clearing, or boundary confirmation may be needed before the build.
What's the difference between high-tensile and barbed wire?
High-tensile is smoother, often electrified, and contains animals through psychological barrier. Barbed wire is the traditional 3- or 4-strand approach.
Do you do horse-safe fencing?
Yes — wood rail, vinyl rail, and high-tensile horse fence are common. Avoiding barbed wire near horses is usually the goal.
