Fencing 101: your guide to farm and home fencing * * * # Fencing 101: Your Guide to Farm and Home Fencing [Authored by Carol J. Alexander](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/cms/life-out-here/authors/carol-j-alexander-home-improvement "Links to Carol J. Alexander's author page.")  Living your dream Life Out Here requires a certain degree of boundaries. Creating those boundaries includes building fences. So, whether you want to corral livestock, protect your garden from deer, keep the children in the backyard, or block the snow from hiding the roadway, there’s a fence for that. And you’ve come to the right place to learn the types of fencing, how to build them, and what supplies you’ll need. ### Fencing How-to No matter what type of fence you want to build, proper planning is the first step to a successful project. Knowing why you need a fence and where you want to put it are two critical steps in the planning phase. You’ll also want to check with local authorities about any permitting or zoning regulations, set a budget to know what you can afford, and choose the best materials for the job.  For a complete guide to help you plan a perfect fence that will meet your needs, read [Planning a Fence Step-by-Step](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/cms/life-out-here/garden-home-land/fencing/how-to-plan-a-fence "Links to Planning a Fence Step-by-Step.")__.__ ### Fencing Supplies and Tools To build a fence, you need the right tools and supplies. Some of what you need you probably already have. Other items may not be necessary but will make the job easier. And then others are specific to certain types of fencing. Read [All the Tools and Supplies Needed for a DIY Fence](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/cms/life-out-here/garden-home-land/fencing/diy-fence-tools-supplies "Links to Tools and Supplies You Need for a DIY fence article.") to start your list of must-haves and a list of nice-to-haves for each kind of fence you’ll want to build on your property. ### Types of Fence Materials Whether you own a large spread or a home in the suburbs, you’ll want fencing for certain needs. Typically, you’ll find six types of fencing: electric, picket, tensile wire, split rail, metal wire, and wood. Let’s look at each one a bit closer. ### Electric Fencing Primarily used to keep animals where you want them, electric fencing is a versatile medium. You’ll find it in high-tensile wire, mesh, and underground buried cables. An [electric fence](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/catalog/electric-fencing "Links to all electric fencing catalog.") has electricity running through strands of wire. In one form or another, it’s an excellent option for holding livestock, poultry, or dogs.  An electric fence also deters predators and keeps wild critters out of your garden. Read [Installing an Electric Fence](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/cms/life-out-here/garden-home-land/fencing/how-to-install-an-electric-fence "Links to installing an electric fence article.") before building one around your place. ### Tensile Wire Fencing High-tensile [wire](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/bekaert-high-tensile-wire-125g-179k-psi-2-640-ft-120657 "Links to high-tensile wire.") comes in galvanized steel and aluminum. Both are excellent conductors of electricity and are commonly used for electric fences to keep livestock. For more information, read [High-tensile Fence: Benefits and Building Guide](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/cms/life-out-here/garden-home-land/fencing/hi-tensile-fencing "Links to how to install high-tensile article.")__.__ ### Wood Fencing As a popular material, wood takes care of many of your fencing needs, from split rail and picket fences to privacy and board fences. A board fence consists of several rows of 1-inch boards stretched between [pressure-treated posts](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/cca-pressure-treated-wood-post-6-in-7-in-x-8-ft "Links to hardwood pressure treated post product."). When stained or painted, this type of fence is a smart-looking addition to your property. Its attractive appearance is an upgrade for the roadside or horse pasture. #### Picket When you hear [picket fence](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/yardlink-34-x-469-wood-panel-820415s "Links to wood picket panel product."), you see a short, white fence around a house in the suburbs. But a picket fence can take many shapes for various uses. Yet, it can serve as a decorative fence around a home, garden, or roadside. But place tall pickets close together, and you have a popular type of [privacy fence](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/cms/life-out-here/garden-home-land/fencing/how-to-choose-privacy-fence "Links to how to choose a privacy fence article."). Read [Privacy Fencing: Choosing Your Style and Install](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/cms/life-out-here/garden-home-land/fencing/how-to-choose-privacy-fence "Links to how to choose and install a privacy fence.") for ideas before planning your picket fence.  #### Split Rail To create the picture of pastoral life, you could install a split rail fence along your roadside property. Split rail is a simple design where log rails slip into holes in [wooden posts](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/catalog/wood-posts "Links to all wood posts catalog."). Though this type of fence isn’t meant to keep livestock, pets, or children in their respective places, they do provide an old-time look to an otherwise plain boundary line. Creating a split rail fence is a DIY-friendly project requiring few tools. Read [](https://www.tractorsupply.com)[How to Install a Split Rail Fence](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/cms/life-out-here/garden-home-land/fencing/how-to-install-split-rail-fence "Links to how to install a split rail fence article.") for instructions to build your own. ### Metal Fencing In addition to high-tensile wire, metal fencing comes in several types. Metal also makes a gorgeous decorative fence around your property's perimeter or yard. With so many options, you’re sure to choose a suitable metal fence for your place. Read more about barbed wire, welded or woven wire and decorative metal fences. #### Barbed wire Barbed wire is created by twisting two strands of wire together and inserting sharp, knotted barbs every three to five inches. In areas where electric wire isn’t an option, [barbed wire](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/catalog/barbed-wire "Links to all barbed wire catalog.") is affordable and suitable for large livestock, like cattle. Although, it’s never used for horses as they like to rub against a fence and can become injured. Learn how to safely install a barbed wire fence by reading our guide, [Stretching Barbed Wire](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/cms/life-out-here/garden-home-land/fencing/stretching-barbed-wire "Links to stretching barbed wire article.")__.__ #### Welded Wire Welded wire fencing is created by tack welding horizontal and vertical wires at the intersections to form a 2x4-inch grid pattern. Though you can also get it with 1-inch openings to create small animal enclosures or chicken runs. [Welded wire](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/welded-wire-48-in-x-100-ft "Links to welded wire product.") is also suitable for protecting your garden from wild vegetarians. Read [How to Build a Welded Wire Fence](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/cms/life-out-here/garden-home-land/fencing/how-to-build-a-welded-wire-fence "Links to how to build a welded wire fence article.") for more information. #### Woven Wire [Woven wire](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/bekaert-high-tensile-field-fence-1047-6-14-ga-330-ft-class-1-632320 "Links to woven wire product.") fencing is created by weaving horizontal and vertical wires and knotting them at the intersections. The openings come in various sizes and may not be consistent. For instance, you can find it with larger holes at the top and smaller ones at the bottom. This is an economical way to provide fencing that young livestock can’t slip through. Typically called “field fencing,” woven wire is ideal for fields, orchards, and all your perimeter needs. For more on field fencing, read the [Ultimate Guide to Farm Fencing](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/cms/life-out-here/garden-home-land/fencing/guide-farm-fencing "Links to Ultimate Guide to Farm Fencing.")__.__ #### Decorative Metal Decorative wrought iron fencing is strong, beautiful, and lasts virtually forever. But, an easy-to-install [painted aluminum picket panel](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/ironcraft-fences-eastham-aluminum-fence-panel-4-ft-x-6-ft-833797 "Links to picket panel product.") or [steel grid panel](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/ironcraft-fences-euro-steel-fence-panel-4-ft-x-6-ft-838281 "Links to steel panel product.") fence is easier on the wallet. Their classic, sleek designs are both elegant and practical. To keep dogs from climbing over, choose the picket panel. Or create a living fence by encouraging climbing plants to grow on the grid panel style.  ### Choosing Fence Posts It’s important to choose the right type of posts for your fence. The following are the most popular types of fence posts, a description of their uses, and how to get them in the ground. ### T-post Fence Posts Property owners use [T-posts](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/catalog/t-posts "Links to all t-posts catalog.") for all types of wire fencing: woven, welded, and high-tensile. They’re made of heavy metal shaped in a T to provide strength. T-posts are typically driven into the ground using a post driver. However, for soft soil and temporary use, you can get a light-duty T-post that should be handled more carefully. Both types have anchors at the bottom to hold them in the ground. For more information, read [How to Install T-Post Fencing](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/cms/life-out-here/garden-home-land/fencing/installing-t-posts "Links to how to install t-post fencing.")__.__ ### Wood Fence Posts Typically, wooden fence posts are made of [pressure-treated pine](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/catalog/wood-posts "Links to all wood posts catalog.") in 6-8-foot lengths. The wood is treated with chromate copper arsenate (CCA) to prevent rot and repel insects. The treatment helps it to last 25 to 30 years. Pressure-treated posts are suited for barbed or woven wire and board fencing. You may prefer to avoid chemically treated wood. In that case, you can find posts made of hardwoods that are rot and insect-resistant. Cedar, locust, and redwood are popular fence post species that last 20 to 25 years. But you’ll want to find species available in your area. For more information about wooden fence posts, read [Wooden Fence Post Buying Guide: Choosing Suitable Wood Posts for a Long-Living Fence](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/cms/life-out-here/garden-home-land/fencing/wooden-fence-post-buying-guide "Links to wooden fence post buying guide.")__.__ ### Setting Fence Posts Unless you’re using T-posts, which are pushed through the soil using a [post driver](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/catalog/post-drivers "Links to all post drivers."), setting fence posts begins with digging holes. You can do it manually using a [post-hole digger](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/catalog/post-hole-diggers "Links to all post hole diggers."). Or, you can use a [gas-powered auger](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/catalog/hand-augers "Links to all hand augers catalog."). Once the hole is dug, you fill it with some gravel for drainage, tamp it down, insert the post, and then fill the space with [fast-setting concrete mix](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/catalog/concrete-sand "Links to all concrete and sand catalog."). Until the concrete sets, use 2x4s to brace the post upright. Read [How to Set Fence Posts in Concrete or Gravel](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/cms/life-out-here/garden-home-land/fencing/how-to-set-fence-posts-in-concrete-and-gravel "Links to how to set fence posts in concrete.") for more detailed instructions. ### Fencing for your Life Out Here Life presents all types of opportunities to build a fence. From the farm to the garden to the yard, all of the types of fences we’ve mentioned have a home. ### Garden Fence Whether you want something purely decorative or a fence to keep rabbits and other pests out of your garden, you have various options. - Picket and metal fences make a pretty picture when installed around a garden. - Chicken wire and welded wire work well for temporary fencing to keep rabbits away from your organic carrots. [__Shop Garden Fencing__](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/catalog/garden-fencing). ### Privacy Fence Sometimes even rural life doesn’t feel secluded enough, and you need something to keep your backyard from view. Whether made of wood or vinyl, stockade, lock board, and shadowbox-style fencing complement any home style. For more information about privacy fencing and instructions on installing one, read [Privacy Fencing: Choose Your Style and Install](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/cms/life-out-here/garden-home-land/fencing/how-to-choose-privacy-fence "Links to privacy fencing install article.")__.__ ### Farm Fence The fence types most suited to the farm include: - Woven wire for fields and pasture - Welded wire for small animal enclosures - High-tensile electric fence to keep animals where you want them - Barbed wire for keeping large livestock contained - Board fencing for horses and road frontage Learn everything you need to know by reading our [Ultimate Guide to Farm Fencing](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/cms/life-out-here/garden-home-land/fencing/guide-farm-fencing "Links to ultimate guide to farm fencing article.")__.__ ### Fencing for your Animals Life Out Here wouldn’t be the same without animals of one type or another. And whether pets or livestock, you’ll need fencing to keep them secure. ### Fencing for Chickens The main thing to remember about fencing in chickens is that you want the openings at ground level to be small enough to contain chicks. To begin, decide if you want a permanent run or something temporary. Layout where you want it and decide on the materials to use. [Chicken wire](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/catalog/chicken-wire-poultry-netting "Links to all chicken wire and poultry netting.") is the most popular choice, but other fencing types also work. Read [Chicken Fencing](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/cms/life-out-here/the-coop/coop-tips/how-to-chicken-fencing) [101](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/cms/life-out-here/the-coop/coop-tips/how-to-chicken-fencing) for more information. ### Fencing for Dogs The right type of fence for your dog depends on the dog, your family, and your lifestyle. Some fencing styles are well suited for your Yorkie but won’t keep a Golden Retriever contained. Popular dog fences include [chain link](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/catalog/welded-wire-fencing "Links to all welded wire and chain link catalog."), wood or [vinyl privacy fence panels](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/catalog/residential-fencing?filter=d1%7CVinyl "Links to all vinyl fencing catalog."), and [underground electric dog fence](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/catalog/wireless-fencing "Links to all wireless dog fencing.

For example, animals that like to rub on a fence need one style, while livestock with horns need another. Electric is a possibility for some but not suited to others. And, if you want [portable fencing](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/hanes-geo-components-7-ft-x-100-ft-multipurpose-netting "Links to multipurpose netting product.") for rotational grazing, there are other options still. To learn more about livestock fence options, read How to Choose the Right Fence Type for Your Livestock__.__ ### Fencing for Goats Goats are notorious escape artists. And a curious goat can get its horns stuck in the openings of a fence intended for cattle, where they can strangle or become coyote bait. These traits make choosing the right fence for your caprine friends a critical task. For more information, and to help you choose the right fence for your herd, read [How to Choose the Best Goat Fence](https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/cms/life-out-here/the-barn/goats-and-sheep/choose-the-right-fence-for-your-goat "Links to how to choose the best goat fence.")__.__ ### Fencing for Horses Horse fencing needs to be tall enough for the animal isn’t tempted to jump. And, because they often injure themselves stepping down a field fence, you want the openings of a wire fence too narrow for hooves to fit through. Experts agree your horse fence should be secure enough to contain your most difficult ride.
