Fence for pasture and paddocks

 At Sterling Fence Inc. choosing horse fencing is an important consideration when setting up any environment for your horse. This applies whether it be a farm or simply backyard fencing. Fences are essentially an “agreement” between you and your horse as most horses are capable of escaping if they so desire. Fence related injuries are a very common cause of veterinary calls so safety should be a primary concern.

Several things should be considered before you install a fence. In most cases, the best and safest type of fencing is a wooden fence.  Treated Pine is the most cost-effective of all the wood horse fencing because it is so durable. They are also very weather-resistant as well as insect infestation-resistant. Because of their treatment they are considered the most decay and mold resistant of all woods.

Another material Sterling Fence Inc. uses is Mountain Split Rail from West Virginia. This fence is made of hardwood rails and treated pine posts. The rails overlap each other through the post giving it addtional strength.

The horse paddock and pasture fence we usually build is 48" high. Sterling Fence Inc installs posts every 10' with the Mountain Split rail and every 8' with the post and Board Style,
