Commercial Fencing Solutions

In the livestock industry, quality fencing can be an instrumental part of an operation’s overall efficiency and success.  Fences need to be functional and secure, while also being cost effective.  Every project has different requirements and goals that need to be met by specific fencing choices.  From grazing management solutions and pasture perimeter fencing, to corrals and livestock handling facilities,  Area Enclosures covers every end of the spectrum of livestock fencing.  Let us work with you to make your management system run as smooth and profitable as possible.

Barbed wire is particularly effective for containing cattle. In pastures containing both cattle and sheep, one or two strands of barbed wire are used in conjunction with woven wire to both discourage cattle from reaching over the top of a fence and to keep sheep from crawling under it.

Though often used in many areas for horses – use of barbed wire today is considered poor management (due to inherent risk of injury to a large, fast moving animal). Smooth wire fencing – usually in conjunction with a line of electric fence – is used as an inexpensive alternative to fencing in horses and other animals.

Woven wire – often with one or more strands of barbed wire at the top – is commonly used for sheep and pigs. A ground-level barbed wire strand, or electrified wire, is used as well to prevent pigs digging beneath the fence.

Deer (and many goats) can easily jump an ordinary agricultural fence, and so special fencing is needed for farming goats or deer, or, more commonly – to keep wild deer out of farmland and gardens. Deer fence is often made of lightweight woven ‘wire mesh’ netting about six feet high mounted on lightweight posts.
