Fencing
Farm, Ranch & Pipe Fencing in Johnson County
Welded pipe, continuous panel, cable and wire fencing engineered for livestock and long property lines — with corner bracing that will not lean after the first wet season.
Ranch fence is a working structure. It has to hold stock, survive a bull leaning on it, take a tree limb in a spring storm, and run straight across a mile of uneven ground without a crew babysitting it every year.
We build pipe and steel fence the way the ranches around Alvarado, Grandview and Venus expect it: drilled and concreted corner and brace assemblies, pipe welded rather than clamped, and line posts driven or set on spacing that matches the stock and the terrain. It costs more than T-post and wire and it lasts a generation longer.

What We Build
Options, materials and how we detail them
Welded pipe fence and continuous panel
Pipe fence is the standard for entries, holding pens, road frontage and anywhere stock press against the line. We weld top rails and uprights into a continuous structure rather than bolting sections together, which means the fence acts as one unit and distributes load instead of failing at a single connection.
Continuous panel goes in fast over long runs and is easy to extend or re-configure as pastures change. We often combine both: pipe on frontage and pens, continuous panel down the property lines.
- Fully welded, not clamped
- Drilled and concreted brace assemblies
- Continuous panel for long runs
- Painted or primed against rust
Property lines, cross-fencing and entries
Most acreage jobs are a mix. A presentable entry and road frontage, working perimeter fence around the boundary, and cross-fencing to rotate pasture. We survey the run, mark the corners, and build the corner and H-brace assemblies first — because on a long fence, everything downstream depends on those corners holding.
We also set cattle guards, build ranch entry arches and hang heavy gates on posts sized to carry them without sagging.
- Corner & H-brace assemblies first
- Cattle guards and entry arches
- Cross-fencing for rotation
- Heavy gates on properly sized posts
The house on the ranch, too
Working fence and the area immediately around the house are two different jobs. Out at the fence line you want pipe and wire; around the home you want cedar privacy, a proper deck and shade you can actually sit under.
Because we build both, one crew handles the perimeter, the yard fence, the drive gate and the deck or pergola — one contract, one schedule, and no coordinating three companies who each blame the other.
- Perimeter and homestead in one contract
- Cedar yard fence and drive gates
- Decks, pergolas and patio covers
- Single schedule, single point of contact
The Standard
Why this job holds up
Welded construction
Continuous welded joints rather than clamps and bolts, so the fence behaves as one structure under load.
Braced corners
Drilled, concreted corner and H-brace assemblies — the part that determines whether a long fence stays tight.
Acreage capable
Equipped for long runs, rough ground and remote property lines across Johnson, Ellis and southern Tarrant counties.
Stock appropriate
Spacing, height and material matched to cattle, horses, goats or exotics rather than a one-size spec.

Questions
What homeowners ask us about this
How much does pipe fence cost per foot?
Pipe fence generally runs well above wire and above most residential wood, because you are paying for steel by weight plus welding labour. Pipe diameter, rail count, corner assemblies and terrain all drive the price. For long runs we usually quote a blended price per foot after walking the property.
Do you build cattle guards and ranch entries?
Yes — cattle guards set on poured footings, welded entry arches, and heavy swing gates hung on posts sized to carry them. Entries are also where custom ironwork and ranch brands go in, and we fabricate that in our own shop.
Can you fence large acreage?
Yes. We regularly run boundary and cross-fencing on acreage around Alvarado, Grandview, Venus, Joshua and Cleburne. Give us the acreage and a rough perimeter and we can give you a working budget before we come out.
What is the difference between pipe fence and continuous panel?
Pipe fence is welded together on site from individual pipe — strongest, most custom, most expensive. Continuous panel is pre-fabricated multi-rail sections that connect end to end — faster to install, easy to reconfigure, and a good value on long straight runs. Many ranches use both.
