As Montana as a Fence Gets
Bark-on jackleg is the fence for properties that want to look untamed: buck-and-rail construction using posts and rails with the natural bark left intact. It harmonizes with treed lots, cabin sites, and river bottoms the way no milled fence can.
And because it’s jackleg underneath, it’s practical too:
- No post holes. The A-frame bucks sit on the surface — rock ledge, shallow soil, and frozen ground are no obstacle.
- Frost-proof by design. Nothing in the ground means nothing for frost to heave.
- Year-round installation. One of the few fences we can build through a Montana winter.
- Natural protection. Intact bark shields the wood and lets the fence weather gracefully.
Where It Belongs
- Cabin and recreational properties from Gallatin Gateway to Gardiner
- Treed boundary lines where a fence should disappear into the landscape
- Rustic ranch entrances, paired with a log archway
- Horse and stock containment with a look that fits the country
Built by Hand, Built to Line
Rustic doesn’t mean rough. Our crew sets bucks at consistent intervals, laps rails cleanly, and keeps the line true across grade changes — the fence looks natural, not neglected. Every build is custom: height, rail count, wire additions, and gates specced for what your property actually needs.
