Fence Installation in Ellerslie

The house fence is a normal residential job. Wood privacy for a back yard, aluminum where it faces the drive, a gate sized for a mower rather than a person. The land fence is a different discipline entirely, where the corner assemblies matter more than the wire and post spacing is set by what is being contained. A braced H-corner is what holds a stretched wire fence tight, and no quality of wire compensates for a corner that leans.

Where livestock are involved the fence has to answer to the animal rather than to the eye. Woven wire with graduated mesh, tighter at the bottom, handles general perimeter for cattle and horses. High-tensile smooth wire covers distance at the lowest cost per foot and is designed to stretch and return through seasonal temperature swings rather than sag permanently. Split rail alone contains almost nothing, which is why it so often gets wire fastened behind it.

Deer are a genuine consideration on Harris County acreage for anyone who gardens, and it is worth knowing what conventional fence does and does not do. A standard four or five foot fence is not a deer fence, and no amount of building it better makes it one. That is a separate specification with its own height, and it is better identified during quoting than discovered after.
