The Fence That Signals a Well-Run Property

Nothing frames a horse property or ranch entrance like clean board fence — straight lines, strong posts, boards running level toward the mountains. It’s the fence that raises the perceived value of everything behind it, and it’s a serious working fence when built right.

Built for Paradise Valley Conditions

We build board fence throughout Paradise Valley — Emigrant, Livingston, Gardiner — and the Gallatin Valley, and both places test a fence:

  • Posts below frost depth, so lines stay straight through freeze-thaw cycles
  • Quality lumber selected for stability, not just price
  • Fastening that handles wood movement — boards stay tight through 90-degree summers and 20-below winters
  • Heights and board counts for your stock: three-board horse standard, four-board for presence and pressure
  • Three-board horse fence — the classic, often backed with no-climb mesh for foals and dogs
  • Four-board estate fence — road frontage and entrances that make a statement
  • Board and wire combinations — board top for looks and visibility, wire below for full containment
  • Entrance packages — board fence flanking a custom archway or stone columns

Design, Build, and Maintain

We handle the full life of the fence: custom layout and design, expert installation, and repair service when a tree limb or a loose horse tests your fence line. Get a free measurement visit and a straight answer on options and cost.

Ranch Board Fence — Questions We Hear a Lot

How many boards does a ranch board fence use?

Three-board is the classic horse-property standard; four-board adds height and presence for stallions, road frontage, or premium curb appeal. Two-board works for decorative lines. We'll recommend based on animals and look.

How does board fence hold up to Montana weather?

Very well when built for it: posts set below frost depth, quality lumber, and fastening that handles wood movement through freeze-thaw cycles. We build board fence specifically for this climate.

Do you repair existing board fences?

Yes — board replacement, post resets, and line straightening. If a fence is worth saving, we'll save it; if it's not, we'll tell you what replacement costs before you spend money on patchwork.
