Farm Fence in McNairy County, TN

What We Build

• 5-strand barbed wire — the McNairy County standard for cattle pasture. T-posts on the line, treated wood corners and braces.
• Woven wire field fence — 39″ and 47″ common heights, often topped with a strand or two of barbed wire. Good for sheep, goats, mixed livestock, and keeping deer out of certain areas.
• High-tensile electric — longer-lasting, lower maintenance, less material than barbed wire. Pairs well with rotational grazing.
• Combination cattle/horse fence — smoother wire for horses on the inside, barbed wire on the outside, or all woven field fence with a hot wire.
• Cross fencing — dividing pasture into rotational paddocks. Often done with electric for speed and cost.
• Pasture gates — tube gates 8 ft to 16 ft, with proper post setting so they don’t sag
• Cattle guards — pre-fab or built-in, where you want vehicle access without gates

Corners and Braces — The Most Important Part

A barbed wire or field fence is only as good as its corners and end braces. Tension on the wire pulls hard against the corner post, and a corner that’s not properly braced will lean in within a season. Our standard:

• Treated wood corner posts — 8 ft posts, 6–8″ diameter, set at least 3 ft deep in concrete (more on hill ground)
• H-brace assemblies — two corner posts with a horizontal brace and diagonal tension wire. Holds the line straight against multi-strand tension.
• Rock-anchored corners — on rocky or hardpan ground where deep digging isn’t possible, we anchor differently
• End braces at gates — same treatment, plus extra reinforcement for gate weight

McNairy County Specifics

We’ve fenced enough pasture in McNairy County to know:

• Which back roads have the soil that holds posts and which need rock-anchored corners
• How to handle creek crossings without losing posts in flood season
• Where the property-line surveys typically miss, and how to confirm with the neighbor before stringing wire
• How to coordinate with the cattle being moved during the fence work so nobody gets out
• Which way the wind sets the line on hill ground (matters more than you’d think)

How We Price Farm Fence

Mostly priced by the linear foot with separate line items for corner/brace assemblies, gates, and any unusual terrain or access challenges. We quote in writing after walking the proposed fence line with you. Here’s how our quotes work.
