Maximum Service Life, Classic Montana Design
Treated jackleg takes the fence Montana ranchers have trusted for generations and builds it out of pressure-treated wood — posts and rails that shrug off the rot, insects, and moisture that eventually take down untreated fences.
It’s the right call when:
- The fence line crosses wet ground, irrigated pasture, or snow-collection zones
- You want a working fence with the longest possible life and minimal upkeep
- The property sees real livestock pressure day in and day out
- You want jackleg’s no-post-hole advantages with modern materials
How We Build It
- Treated jackleg bucks set at consistent intervals for stability and clean alignment
- Horizontal rails lapped and fastened to stay tight under snow load and leaning cattle
- Custom height and rail count for your animals and terrain
- Straight lines across broken ground — grade changes don’t excuse a wandering fence
Because jackleg rests on the surface instead of in post holes, it handles rock ledge, shallow soils, and frost heave better than set-post fencing — and it can be built nearly year-round, frozen ground included.
