Agricultural fences are essential for farms and rural properties, serving multiple purposes such as containing livestock, protecting crops, and establishing property boundaries. These fences are designed to be durable and withstand the challenges of agricultural environments. They come in various materials, such as wood, wire, and vinyl, allowing farmers to choose the most suitable option for their specific needs. Agricultural fences can be customized in terms of height, spacing, and wire thickness, ensuring that they provide the necessary security and functionality.

The best fence for an agricultural farm depends on the specific needs and livestock involved. However, barbed wire fences are commonly used due to their durability and effectiveness in containing animals. For smaller animals, woven wire or high-tensile fences may be more suitable.
The lifespan of a farm fence varies significantly depending on the materials used and the maintenance provided. For instance, high-quality wood fences can last up to 20 years with proper care, while well-maintained metal fences like barbed wire can last up to 30 years.
The spacing for farm fence posts typically falls between 8 and 12 feet. This range ensures stability and strength for the fence. However, the specific distance can depend on the type of fencing material and the terrain.

Standard Gripples are used to connect rolls of agricultural wire. The exposed view top left shows the mechanism at work: wires go in from either side and are locked in place. T-Gripples (on the right) are used to connect a cut wire roll to itself after winding it around a post.
Screw Piles are posts that are turned into the ground by machine as opposed to the usual digging and cementing process. They are a requirement for most deck permits.
Bedrock Attachments may be required to install posts in unusually rocky conditions. Bars are welded to the piles and inserted into holes drilled in the bedrock.
