Do you have a pet, a farm, horses, or live in an area where predators and wildlife often come onto your property? Rugged Fence can match the right fence to whatever animal you have or want to keep out. We at Rugged Fence have worked with farms, residences, estates, and other properties to install the ideal fence for your needs! Now, we are bringing you that extensive knowledge of animal fencing by providing a detailed guide to different fences made for different animals.
Types of Fences
Not all fences are built the same, and when it comes to animals, choosing the right fence for them will help keep them safe and where you want them to be. We have a variety of fences ideal for livestock, pets, horses, or keeping out wildlife. We have provided a guide for what fence you should install based on your goals for your animals!
Pets
We know that pets are hard to control sometimes, whether it’s your dog noticing an enticing squirrel to chase off your property or a cat that’s too curious for their own good. The fences we recommend for your pets, especially if you are living in a residential area, are privacy fences or picket fences, depending on your ultimate goal. As the name suggests, privacy fences offer the most privacy and protection, with no holes or spaces in the fencing. They are also built the highest out of any other fence, allowing no pet to jump over.
If you are looking for a more aesthetically pleasing fence, picket fences are excellent for providing a classic homey feel to your residence while offering containment of your pets.
Livestock
You primarily want to use something cheaper for livestock fencing while offering the same ability to protect and corral your sheep, cattle, chicken, or other livestock. Your farm will most likely cover multiple acres of land, and using high-grade vinyl or other expensive materials and fence types isn’t economically viable. Split Rail and Post & Wire fences offer affordability for long stretches of fencing while keeping your livestock safely contained. They are also very durable and require little maintenance, so you won’t have to worry about your fence once it’s completed.
Horses
The optimal fencing for horses is board and paddock fencing, which is even referred to as a horse fence. These fences are used for horses because of their visibility and beautiful aesthetic, which matches your estate.
Wild Animals
Coyotes are the most common predator in Northern Virginia, with infrequent sightings and encounters of black bears as well. These predators can put your livestock at risk, so if coyotes frequently get into your property and steal your livestock, then installing a wire mesh fence is the way to go. While wire mesh fences are cheap as a base, you could add enhancements such as barbed wire or electric wire for further protection. Wire mesh fencing is extremely durable and uses galvanized steel as the primary material for installation.
