#1 Farm & Agricultural Fence Company in El Cajon, CA

Initial Consultation

The first step is to schedule an initial consultation at your property. One of our qualified specialists will come and thoroughly assess the layout of your land and discuss your particular fencing needs.

We will identify the acreage that needs coverage and ensure we understand the purposes of the fencing such as containing livestock or deterring wildlife.

We will also take note of any existing structures, terrain variations and other factors that may impact the fencing. During this consultation, we will provide recommendations on the best fencing types and materials for your specific agricultural application. Our goal is to develop a customized fencing solution tailored to your farm’s unique requirements.

Detailed Quote

After the initial consultation, we will provide a detailed quote outlining the exact services and products we propose for installing your agricultural fencing. The quote will include specifics such as the linear footage of fencing required, materials selected, number of gates needed and total project cost.

We will highlight any specialty fencing choices that may involve an additional cost. You can approve the quote as-is or request any modifications. We are happy to make revisions until the quote aligns with your budget and specifications.

Material Selection

Once the quote is approved, we will order all the necessary fencing materials. For farm and agricultural applications, we recommend using the strongest and most durable materials available including:

• Heavy-duty galvanized steel tubing for posts and frames
• 12-14 gauge high-tensile smooth wire for longer runs
• Extra-strength woven wire fencing where visibility or complete enclosure is needed
• Sturdy, corrosion-resistant gates with heavy hinges

We only source from reputable suppliers to ensure the fencing products can withstand the demands of agricultural use. All materials are selected based on the specific needs discussed during your consultation.

Permitting

For certain fencing projects, building permits may be required based on the height, length or location on your property. Our team will determine if your project needs permitting and handle submitting all required documentation to the local building department. We closely follow all codes and restrictions to ensure your new agricultural fencing complies with regulations.

Site Preparation

Before installation begins, we take steps to prepare the site. This may involve clearing and leveling the area where the fencing will be placed. We remove any existing fences or structures that could interfere with the new fencing.

Our team can also coordinate to have any utilities marked on your property so we avoid contact during the install process. Taking care of site preparation helps the installation go smoothly.

Post Hole Digging

We use heavy machinery to dig uniformly-spaced deep post holes based on the fencing design. For most agricultural fencing, holes are 2-3 feet deep to properly anchor the posts. We have powerful augers that can bore quickly through any type of soil or terrain on your property. Leveling and aligning the post holes properly ensures the fencing posts will be plumb for maximum strength and stability.

Fence Post Installation

With the holes dug, we then set the fence posts in concrete within each hole. Using premixed concrete allows the posts to quickly set. We space the posts at intervals following industry standards for agricultural fencing – usually 8 to 12 feet.

For areas with greater spans, we install braced or anchored posts for additional strength. We ensure every post is perfectly aligned and plumb as the concrete cures. Properly installing the posts creates a sturdy foundation for the fencing.

Horizontal Framework

In sections where a complete enclosure is needed, we construct a horizontal framework between the posts. This provides critical structural support for the fencing. For agricultural applications, the framework typically involves galvanized steel tubes or wood beams secured to the posts using sturdy brackets or fasteners. The framework lends strength and stability so the fencing can withstand animal pressure and remain upright.

Fence Installation

With the posts and framework in place, we are ready to install the fencing. For woven wire fences, we tightly stretch the wire across the entire span and secure it to the posts and framework using fasteners.

For long expanses of smooth wire fencing, we properly space and tension each strands before clamping it down. We ensure compliance with any spacing standards for agricultural fences to avoid livestock injuries. Our team takes great care in installing the fencing in a secure, lasting manner.

Gates and Accessories

Matching gates are installed to provide access where needed. We hang sturdy agricultural gates on heavy-duty hinges and include high-quality latches or locks to secure them. Any other accessories like electric fence chargers or flood lights can also be incorporated as part of the project. We want to make sure any special accessories are accounted for.

Inspection and Cleanup

Once the fencing installation is complete, we perform a detailed inspection looking for anyissues that need correction before final approval. We also clear away all debris and construction materials leaving the site clean. Finally, we will have you inspect the finished agricultural fencing to confirm it meets your expectations before wrapping up the project.

With our comprehensive process and quality workmanship, we can confidently install agricultural fencing that will last for years while safely containing your livestock and protecting your property. Contact us to get your project started.
