Question 1

How long will my fence last?

Accepted Answer

Fence life comes down to materials, installation, and upkeep. When built and maintained right, oak board fencing typically lasts 15–20 years. Stay-Tuff woven wire can last 20–30 years or more.
​
Soil conditions, weather, livestock pressure, and maintenance all play a role. We design for the long haul with proper post setting, strong bracing, proven materials, and clear maintenance guidance tailored to your fence and your land.

Question 2

Do you offer warranties on your fencing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every fence we install is backed by a 1-year workmanship warranty.
​
That covers installation-related issues like post settling, board attachment, and gate operation. Manufacturer material defects fall under their warranties, and we’ll help you handle those if they come up. We also document all materials used, so future repairs or matching sections are straightforward.

Question 3

How deep should fence posts be set?

Accepted Answer

For most agricultural fencing, we set posts at least 2 feet deep. Soil type, fence height, livestock pressure, and frost depth all matter, so we adjust as needed. In sandy ground or for taller fences, we go deeper for stability. High-pressure areas like corners and crowding pens often get posts set 3 feet deep or more. We evaluate your soil and layout on site and set every post to the depth your land and livestock demand.

Question 4

What makes Stay-Tuff wire fencing better than other options?

Accepted Answer

We use Stay-Tuff wire fencing and nothing else, because it performs better in the field. The fixed-knot design locks wires in place so they do not slip or sag. Class 3 galvanization gives it serious protection against rust and weather.

The engineered tension curves let the fence flex with temperature changes without losing tightness, and the heavier-gauge horizontal and vertical wires stand up to livestock pressure. It costs more upfront, but it lasts years longer than budget wire and saves money over time.

Question 5

What's the best time of the year to install?

Accepted Answer

We recommend planning 1 to 2 months ahead to lock in the timing that works best for your land and operation.

Our services are available year-round, but every season brings its own realities:

Winter installs are possible in many areas, with limits when ground freezes or snow moves in.

Spring can mean wet ground, but it gives the fence time to settle before winter.

Summer offers easier access and dry conditions, though hard ground can slow digging.

Fall often has ideal soil, but schedules fill fast as winter approaches.

Question 6

How do you handle gates in high-traffic areas?

Accepted Answer

Gates in high-traffic areas take more abuse, so we build them to last. We use heavy-duty gate hardware, properly braced posts to prevent sagging, and concrete footers in gate openings to control erosion.

For frequent equipment access, we often recommend wider double-swing gates or latching systems that can be operated from a vehicle. We look at your traffic flow and equipment during the site visit and recommend gate solutions that stay functional day after day.

Question 7

How do you handle fencing on uneven terrain?

Accepted Answer

Uneven ground takes experience to fence correctly, and it’s work we do every day. With board fencing, we use stepped installations to keep boards level while following the natural contours of the land.

With wire fencing, we manage tension carefully through elevation changes and add posts where steep ground demands it. We’ve successfully fenced hillsides, water crossings, and rough terrain while keeping fences tight, secure, and built to last.
