Ranch fencing needs to be as strong as a prized steer. You want a durable fence, whether enclosing a paddock or giving your country estate that authentic ranch feel. It should look good and perform even better. Illinois Fence Company does more than install fences — we build investments. We design our fences farm-tough.
Think of the iconic fences with horizontal rails that frame American ranches. That's ranch-style fencing. Also called farm fencing, these fences have two to four rails set into sturdy posts. They combine form and function — beautiful enough to grace a rustic home and rugged enough to contain livestock.
Split rail fences are the original farm fencing solution. They have the characteristic horizontal slats between vertical posts immortalized in Western films. You can customize these fences to suit your needs. Two rails are fine for marking property lines, but you may need three to keep horses and cattle in check. We can also add wire to contain smaller critters like sheep or chickens. Choose between wood and vinyl based on your needs:
Wood gives you that traditional rustic appeal, welcoming people and animals alike. The type of wood used for farm fencing matters. We use species like redwood, cedar, or cypress for their natural rot and decay resistance. Like a treasured stallion, wood fences need TLC to perform their best. Regular inspections, cleaning, maintenance, and coatings keep your farm fence in top condition.
Picture the distinctive white fences seen at equestrian estates — those are likely vinyl fences. Vinyl is a sleek, low-maintenance alternative to wood. High-quality polyvinyl chloride (PVC) defies warping, rotting, fading, insects, and extreme weather.
Want that wood look with vinyl's strength? Vinyl can mimic wood grain, giving you its warmth with fewer maintenance requirements. Occasional cleaning keeps them looking fresh. Professional installation is key to a long-lasting fence. With our livestock fence installation, your vinyl fence can take knocks from the elements or rowdy cattle.
