Ranch and split rail fences

From a split rail line along the road to the entrance gate, we build fences for ranch and rural property in Hays, Caldwell and the counties around them. Tell us what the fence has to do and we build it to that.

Split rail fences

Split rail is two or three wood rails set between posts. It marks the property line, looks right on open land and costs less per foot than a closed fence. Add welded wire to the rails and it also holds dogs and small animals.

Ranch entrance gates

The entrance sets the tone for the whole property. We build metal ranch gates and swing gates between stone or steel pillars, wide enough for trucks and trailers. See our metal gates page for more.

Plan the fence line with us

Long ranch fence lines cross slopes, creeks and rocky ground. At the estimate we walk the line with you, mark the gates and corners, and pick the fence type for each stretch.

A fence for the job it does

A ranch fence that marks a line along the road is not the same as one that holds livestock or keeps deer out of a garden. Before we suggest a type, we ask what has to stay in, what has to stay out and how much of the line people will see.

Gates matter as much as the fence: where trucks and trailers enter, where you walk out to feed, and how wide each opening must be.
