A Practical System for Farms and Acreage
Farmland Fencing installs post and wire fencing for farms, livestock areas, pastures, fields, acreage, and rural properties throughout the Chicago area.
We match the post layout and wire system to the animals, terrain, fence length, corners, gates, and required level of containment.
Properly installed posts, bracing, and wire work together to create dependable containment across changing terrain.
Post and Wire Fence Options
Match the System to the Property
We select the posts, wire type, height, spacing, bracing, and gate locations around the land and intended use.
Livestock & Pasture Fencing
Woven wire, smooth wire, or properly configured high-tensile wire can provide practical containment for livestock, pastures, paddocks, and grazing areas.
Field & Boundary Fencing
Post and wire systems provide flexible coverage across agricultural fields, long fence runs, acreage, and rural property boundaries.
Wire and Mesh Options
The system may use woven wire, high-tensile wire, smooth wire, barbed wire, or electric reinforcement based on the application.
Before Installation
Good Tension Starts With Strong Support
Post and wire fencing depends on a complete support system. Line posts, corners, braces, terminals, gates, and wire tension must work together across the entire fence line.
✓ Livestock, property use, visibility, and containment needs
✓ Fence route, boundaries, slopes, low areas, soil, and drainage
✓ Post materials, depth, spacing, corners, braces, and gate openings
✓ Woven wire, high-tensile, smooth wire, barbed wire, or electric options
✓ Equipment access, adjoining fences, maintenance, and future divisions
Our Process
From Layout to Final Tension
01. Review the Property and Fence Goals
We review the property, animals, terrain, fence length, boundaries, gates, existing fencing, and containment requirements.
02. Build the Posts, Corners, and Braces
We establish the route and install line posts, reinforced corners, end assemblies, braces, and gate openings.
03. Install, Tension, and Inspect the Wire
We install the selected wire, establish consistent height and tension, secure connections, and inspect the completed fence line.
Post and Wire Fencing FAQs
Questions About Post and Wire Fencing
What is post and wire fencing used for?
Post and wire fencing is used for livestock containment, pastures, fields, acreage, rural boundaries, and internal farm divisions. The posts and wire configuration are selected for the intended use.
Can post and wire fencing include electric wire?
Yes. Selected wires may be electrified or an offset electric wire may be added to reduce animal pressure. Proper insulation, grounding, and warning signs are important.
Why are corners and braces so important?
Wire tension places force on corners, ends, and gate openings. Strong, correctly built assemblies help keep the fence aligned and prevent leaning, sagging, or loosening.
Can an existing post and wire fence be repaired?
Yes. We can evaluate loose or broken wire, leaning posts, failed braces, damaged splices, gate transitions, and recurring problems to determine whether repair or replacement is appropriate.
How much does post and wire fencing cost?
Cost depends on fence length, post type and spacing, wire system, corners, braces, gates, terrain, access, and removal of existing fencing. A property review is needed for an accurate estimate.
