Who needs agricultural fencing?
Agricultural fencing is necessary for many types of rural properties in and around Calgary.
Naturally, farms need their perimeters secured to keep cattle in and to clearly demarcate the boundaries.
Livestock will wander unless fences define their boundaries. This makes them vulnerable to predators, theft, and exposure to the harsh elements in Alberta.
We provide over 10 types of farm and acreage fencing that protect your Calgary farm in different ways.
There are affordable, durable options for almost every type of agricultural fencing requirement.

If you have a large vegetable garden, you will certainly want to keep games and other predators out. This may call for a high agricultural fence.
Often, 10’ game fence construction with wire mesh is suitable for this type of fence, acting as a deterrent to predators. Many other options are also available to not spoil the appearance of your garden.

Installing fencing along roads and highways helps protect both public and private property. It keeps livestock off the road and wild game from entering your property.
These types of fence projects are especially challenging because you need to abide by local municipality or county laws when constructing fences by roads.

Public parks and recreational areas in Calgary can also use agricultural style fencing to protect and demarcate areas such as tennis courts, baseball diamond backstops, and swimming pools.
These need to be sturdy and durable enough to stand up to the wear and tear they will receive from both humans and the elements.
Private properties with leisure and recreational facilities like pools and courts may also need agricultural fencing for the same purpose.

Commercial dog kennel businesses can use agricultural fencing to separate dogs while allowing them the freedom to run and play.
Chain link fencing is low maintenance and ideal for outdoor runs and can have special guards fitted for dogs that can climb and dig, like huskies and wolf dogs.

Horse breeders often need special agricultural fencing. This may consist of wire, posts and rails, high tensile wire, split cedar or another type of agricultural fencing material.
Many horse owners and breeders choose high tensile wire fencing for paddocks and pastures because it is strong, durable and very safe for the horses.

What type of fencing is best for cattle?
Corrals for cattle and paddock fencing are usually made of wire (galvanized barbed wire or high tensile wire), posts and rail, post and plank, vinyl rail, or split cedar.
Your choice will depend on the volume required, the type and number of cattle, and your budget, as well as aesthetic preferences.
Speak to an advisor at First Class Fencing about the most suitable type of agricultural fence for cattle.
How high should a fence be for cattle?
To prevent cattle from escaping by jumping or climbing over your fence, construct it to a height of at least 48 inches.
Bear in mind that cattle may rub against and put pressure on the fence, so height is not the only consideration.
Our fence installation team is experienced at advising about fence construction for farms and other rural properties. We can guide you if you’re unsure.
