It is necessary to create fences for horses to keep them safe while also allowing them to be active and roam. Unlike other livestock, horses have a natural flight response, which makes them more likely to injure themselves on poorly installed fences.
A horse fence can be made of rails, iron and plastic coated wire, electric wire, or a combination of them all. It is essential that the fence is highly visible, durable, attractive, and safe for horses to touch, regardless of its material.
Horse Fencing Installation in the Atlanta Metro
Ranch rail fences, which are also known as horse fences, are a common residential fencing choice throughout the Atlanta Metro - especially in Alpharetta, John's Creek, and Milton, GA. Many homeowners love ranch rail fences because they make your yard feel nice and open but can also safely contain your pets when welded wire is added.
We typically use 4x4 fence posts and true 1"x 6"x16' long rough-cut ranch boards when installing horse fences. The wire we add to these fences are typically 14 gauge and comes in 2x4" rectangles. If your ranch rail fence is going to be around a pool, it will more than likely need to be 5' tall and have 1x2" wire so that children are not able to climb over it.

Choosing the right fence for your needs requires taking many factors into consideration. Here's what you should keep in mind.
A fence's lifespan depends on the following factors:
Keep in mind, even good fences can become worn out if problems aren't identified and corrected promptly.
You should also consider the visual aspect of a horse fence. This results in:
If you want to stay within your budget, it might be best to place more expensive, eye-catching fencing in well-traveled areas and less expensive fencing elsewhere. Any fence must be functional, regardless of its design. Choosing fencing shouldn't be based solely on appearance.
Keep your fence properly installed and maintained for the safety of both you and your horse.
The key to providing a safe, functional fence that will enhance a property's value and provide years of service is by understanding the facility's fencing needs and expectations. For instance, you can consider your budget, the height of the fence, how much maintenance you are willing to put into the fence, and where the fence will be installed. Choosing the right location for your installation is an important step that is easily overlooked. Putting a fence in an area where water may pool can cause problems in the future.
