Fence FAQ

Yes — always. We'll come out to your property, walk the project with you, and give you an honest, written estimate at no cost and with no obligation. You'll know exactly what you're getting before you commit to anything.

It helps, but it isn't required. Being there lets us walk the line together, talk through gate placement and materials, and answer questions on the spot. If your schedule won't allow it, we can often quote from the property with a quick phone call to go over the details — just let us know when you call Cody at (620) 899-5595.

Not much to start — roughly how much fence you're after, the style or material you have in mind, and where it's going. From there we measure everything on-site, check the terrain and access, and locate property corners with you so the footage and the price are accurate. The more you can tell us about gates and any old fence to remove, the tighter the estimate.

We'll set the fence where you tell us your line is, and we always recommend staying a few inches inside it to avoid any neighbor disputes. If your corners are marked or you have a survey, great — bring it out. If you're unsure where the line falls, we can talk through your options during the estimate, but we don't survey property ourselves.

We're based in Haven and serve all of Reno County plus the surrounding Central Kansas communities — Hutchinson, South Hutchinson, Buhler, Nickerson, Yoder, Pretty Prairie, Partridge, Arlington, Plevna, Mount Hope, Burrton, Halstead, Newton, Kingman, Sterling, Lyons, McPherson, Maize, Wichita, Pratt, and Stafford. Not sure if you're in range? Give us a call.

Most residential fences are finished in one to three days once we start. Larger farm, ranch, and acreage projects take longer depending on length and access. We'll give you a realistic timeline with your estimate and keep you in the loop if Kansas weather affects the schedule.

It depends on the season and how busy we are — spring and summer book up fast — but we'll always give you a straight answer on timing when we provide your estimate. For storm damage and urgent repairs, let us know and we'll do our best to get to you quickly.

We always coordinate the Kansas 811 utility locate before we dig, so there's no risk of hitting a buried line. If your project needs a permit or has HOA requirements, we'll let you know during the estimate and help you work through it.

The fastest way is to call or text Cody at (620) 899-5595. You can also fill out the form on our contact page with your project details and we'll get right back to you, usually the same day.

Just about everything used in Central Kansas: wood and cedar privacy, vinyl, chain link, ornamental metal and wrought iron, plus the full range of farm and ranch fencing — barbed wire, woven wire, high-tensile, pipe, continuous panel, and rail. We also build gates of every kind, from walk gates to automated driveway gates.

Any fence will hold up to our wind if it's built right — it comes down to post depth and bracing more than the material. That said, if you want a solid privacy fence in an exposed spot, a board-on-board or shadowbox design lets some wind through and takes less of a beating than a fully solid panel. We'll recommend the right build for your location during the estimate.

Wood costs a little less up front, looks classic, and can be stained any color, but it needs resealing every few years. Vinyl costs more at install but never needs paint or stain and shrugs off our weather, so it's popular with busy families who'd rather not maintain it. Both last a long time when they're installed properly — it really comes down to budget and how much upkeep you want.

Cedar naturally resists rot and insects, weathers to a handsome gray, and tends to stay straighter — it's our most popular wood. Treated pine costs less and is plenty durable when it's maintained, making it a great budget privacy option. We build both and can show you samples so you can feel the difference.

It's one of the best — chain link is durable, affordable, and keeps pets safely contained while still letting them see out. We can add a bottom tension wire or dig guard for diggers, build it taller for jumpers, and hang a gate sized for easy in-and-out. It's a workhorse fence for yards and kennels.

Vinyl and ornamental aluminum top the list — a rinse with the hose now and then is about all they ask. Chain link is close behind. If you love the look of wood but not the upkeep, we can talk through stain options that stretch the time between resealing. We'll match the material to how much maintenance you actually want to do.

Most residential privacy fences run 6 feet, with 4-foot front-yard and pool fences common. Height limits can vary by city and HOA, especially near corners and front setbacks, so we'll flag anything to check before we build. On acreage and farm ground you have a lot more freedom. We'll build to whatever height fits your needs and the local rules.

Both give you that classic open, decorative look. Aluminum is lighter, won't rust, and never needs much upkeep, which makes it the practical pick for most homes and pool enclosures. True wrought iron is heavier and stronger, with a timeless look, but it needs the occasional paint touch-up to keep rust away. We install both and will help you weigh looks against maintenance.

Absolutely — it's one of our specialties. Owner Cody Yoder comes from a farm background, so we understand livestock, ground conditions, and how a working fence actually gets used. We build barbed wire, woven wire, high-tensile, pipe, and continuous fence for cattle, horses, and every kind of operation across Reno County.

It depends on your stock. Barbed wire is the economical Kansas standard for cattle on big grazing runs. Woven (field) wire gives you a tight, no-gap barrier that's better for hogs, sheep, goats, and weaned calves that would slip through barbed wire. Plenty of operations run both in different spots, and we'll help you match the fence to the animals and the ground.

We do. High-tensile fence is low-maintenance, long-lasting, and easy to make electric-ready, which makes it a favorite for rotational grazing and cross-fencing. We stretch it tight, brace the corners heavy, and can set it up for the paddock layout you're running.

Yes — cross-fencing to split pastures, plus corrals, working pens, and continuous or pipe fence where stock crowds hardest. We build the heavy, braced fence that takes the pressure when cattle lean and rub, and we'll size gates wide enough for your equipment and trailers.

For horses we steer toward fence that won't catch a leg — four-rail wood, no-climb woven wire with small openings, vinyl rail, or smooth high-tensile. Barbed wire is a poor choice around horses. We'll match the fence to your horses and your budget so it's safe and holds up.

It varies a lot with the type of fence, the terrain, and access, but wire fence on open ground goes in far faster than corrals or rail. When we estimate your project we'll give you a realistic timeline for the whole run, not just a per-day guess, and keep you posted as the work moves.

We do — re-stretching sagging wire, replacing broken posts, staples, and clips, resetting leaning braces, and patching gaps before a small problem becomes a loose animal. If a long stretch is past saving, we'll tell you honestly whether a repair or a rebuild makes more sense.
