Farm & Ranch Style Fencing

Wire Ranch FenceWhen you live on a farm, or even if you just want that rustic feel of farmland on your property, a farming fence is a must. Whether it’s for aesthetic appeal, to protect your livestock, separate livestock from crops, or even to keep neighboring livestock from working their way onto your property,

a split rail fence system is the simplest fencing solution. Post and rail fences have the stereotypical look of a country fence, but they’re more than just nice to look at; they’re sturdy, durable, and easy to repair, making a split rail fencing a great solution for any Minnesota farm or home, or business owner. At Twin Cities Fence, we’ll install wooden split rail fences or vinyl post and rail fences so that you can have the material and design you want to make your property stand out but still have a functional fence that meets your needs, farming or otherwise.


Benefits of Wood Post and Rail Fencing Systems

Wooden cattle fences are the epitome of farming fences. They’re what you probably imagine when you think of farm fencing, and they’re likely the first option you’d consider when you’re looking for a fence on your ranch, farm, or even in your front yard to get that rustic feel. If you’re thinking of investing in a wooden post and rail fence, though, you should be sure that you know the benefits and disadvantages of having a wooden farm fence. For starters, the look of wood gives a wooden split rail fence the look of a genuine traditional farm fence like you’ve seen around farms for generations. These fences are affordable, and they’re easy to repair if anything goes wrong. Depending on your skill with a hammer and nail, you might even be able to repair your wooden fence yourself, in a pinch. A wooden fence will serve your needs well, protecting livestock from breaking free from your property or even just creating property boundaries.

Disadvantages of Wooden Fencing

Like all wooden fencing systems, wooden split rail fences aren’t as sturdy as some other materials available for farming fences. Especially in Minnesota, where the weather is variable, wood has a tendency to warp and rot over time, which means that wood may not be the best option. If you’re looking for a longer-lasting farm fence, consider investing more in a more expensive farm fencing material, such as vinyl.

Advantages of Vinyl Split Rail Fences

Split Rail Vinyl FenceYou may see vinyl post and rail fences lining farms and ranches these days, a newer alternative to wooden split rail fencing. Vinyl has the advantage over wood of being more modern and longer-lasting, as long as it doesn’t encounter too many harsh hail storms. Vinyl is another fencing material that can be used for livestock fencing and split rail fencing along property lines, and it’s able to maintain its color despite any weather it may see with proper cleaning. Vinyl does not decompose like wood, it’s rust-free, and it’s more flexible than wood so that it doesn’t snap or break; all of this means that you don’t have to worry about a vinyl split rail fence breaking down in quality or looks. Because of this, vinyl makes for exceptionally low-maintenance cattle fences, perfect for farms, where every day brings enough hard work already.

Disadvantages of Vinyl Farm Fencing

Vinyl is not as affordable as wood, and in fact, it’s one of the most expensive fencing materials available. In addition, although one of the only things that can threaten a vinyl fence is excessive force, if your fence is storm-damaged or damaged by your livestock, it can be more difficult and more expensive to fix that a wooden fence.

Twin Cities Fence handled my small project with courtesy, efficiency and quality workmanship from start to finish. All I needed was an 8 ft gate, but they treated me the same as someone with a large order.

I had a terrific experience working with Twin Cities Fence. This is the third time (three different houses) I've worked with a fencing company. I can without a doubt say they were the best to work with by far. The fence is absolutely beautiful, extremely well built and everyone I have interacted with at Twin Cities Fence has been really terrific! I would highly recommend them.
