Fencing Built for the Land
Foristell's roots run rural, and we're proud to fence the farms, hobby properties, and horse acreage of Wright City, western Foristell, and the wider Warren County countryside. Farm and ranch fencing is built for one job above all — keeping animals safely where they belong and unwanted traffic out — while standing up to weather, livestock pressure, and years of hard service. Whether you're containing cattle, protecting horses, or marking a property line across rolling acres, we build agricultural fence that holds up to animals and Missouri weather alike.
It's also why so many local owners choose it. As new subdivisions push west along the I-70 corridor, a lot of our work is fencing the five-, ten-, and twenty-acre lots where families want a little land of their own — room for a couple of horses, a hobby herd, chickens, or just a clearly marked boundary. Farm fence covers long distances economically, needs far less upkeep than a finished privacy fence, and can be added to or cross-fenced as your place grows.
There's no single "best" farm fence — the right system depends on what you're keeping in (or out), your terrain, and your budget. We work with every major ag fencing type, help you choose, and install it straight and tight with braced corners and gates that swing true for decades.
Farm & Ranch Fence Types We Install
- Woven / field wire — versatile galvanized mesh for cattle, goats, sheep, and mixed livestock; common in 32" to 48" heights with graduated or fixed-knot spacing
- No-climb horse fence — tight 2"x4" mesh that won't let a hoof through, the safest woven option for horses and small livestock
- High-tensile — 12.5-gauge smooth or electric wire on in-line strainers; economical and strong over long, hilly runs
- Barbed wire — the classic, budget-friendly cattle fence, typically 4 or 5 strands of 12.5- or 15.5-gauge wire
- Board & rail fence — handsome 3- and 4-board fence for horse properties, paddocks, and entrances, in painted pine, treated lumber, or vinyl rail
- Cross-fencing & gates — paddocks, pastures, lanes, and tractor-width access points
Woven and no-climb wire come in Class 1 and longer-lasting Class 3 galvanized coatings; high-tensile and barbed are galvanized for rust resistance. Board fence can be left natural, painted classic white or black, or built in low-maintenance vinyl rail. Heights run from 4-foot field fence for most livestock up to 5-foot mesh or 4- and 5-rail board for horses, with wood line posts, driven steel T-posts, or pipe depending on the run. We'll walk your land and match the system, gauge, height, and spacing to your animals.
Built for Missouri Ground
Our heavy clay soil and freeze-thaw winters are hard on fence. Ground that's soaked in spring and frozen by January will heave a shallow post right out and leave a fence sagging by its second season. That's why we set every corner, end, and gate post in concrete below the frost line and drive line posts deep and solid — a braced, frost-depth corner is what holds tension on a long woven or high-tensile run across the rolling acreage around Wentzville and Foristell. We also account for low spots and creek crossings so the fence follows the lay of the land without gaps an animal can slip under.
