Questions we get on fence, shops, and land work

Priced on site, after we walk the line with you. Pipe size and wall, new or used pipe and its grade, post depth, rail count, and gates all move the number. So do the ground, the brush, welding time, paint, and access.

A per-foot number from somewhere else was figured on somebody else's ground. We break down the drivers in what drives pipe fence cost, and you can see how we build it on pipe fence.

Because no two places are the same job. Rock, slope, brush, creek crossings, gates, and access all change the work on a fence, a pad, or a shop. We'd rather see it and give you a written number that fits.

If we ever post price ranges, they'll come from our own finished jobs, not someone else's. Until then, everything is priced on site. Send us the job details to get started.

Yes, please do. The quote form takes photos, or you can text them to 254-716-5760. Shots of the fence line, gate spots, building site, rock, brush, and any creek crossings help us show up with the right questions.

Photos get us ready. We still walk the place before we give you a written number.

Your town or nearest crossroads, rough footage or acreage, number of gates, what the fence or building is for, and a few photos. On long fence lines, a sketch on a satellite map helps a lot.

Send it through the quote form, or call or text 254-716-5760.

Ask us about payment options when we go over your quote. See payment options, or call or text 254-716-5760.

Check with the city if you're inside Weatherford city limits. Fence is on its list of residential permits. Out in unincorporated Parker County, the county doesn't issue building permits, but it does regulate septic and floodplain work.

Other towns set their own rules, so ask your city before work starts. More on pipe fence and our Weatherford page.

It depends on the line, and anybody who gives you a number before seeing it is guessing. Length, rail count, gates, rock, slope, brush, and weather all change it. Welding every joint on site takes time, and so does paint.

Once we walk the line, we can tell you how we'd schedule your job. See how we build it on pipe fence.

Either can work. Most "drill stem" fence is really used oilfield tubing. It can be strong, but thin spots and wear on the inside are the risk. New fence pipe costs more and comes with a known size, wall, and coating.

Lots of places run new pipe on the road front and gates and used pipe on the back. We cover what to check in new pipe vs used drill stem pipe.

Horse fence keeps a horse from getting hurt: taller, a bottom rail close to the ground, no-climb wire if any, and no barbed wire. Cattle fence keeps cattle from pushing through: tight wire on strong corners, with pipe at gates, pens, and the road.

Read pipe fence for horses vs cattle, or see pipe fence and corrals, pens and arenas.

It's the stretch of fence where the line crosses a creek or draw. It has to hold stock and still let floodwater and brush pass, or the first big rain tears it out. Most are fixed sections or swinging gaps hung from a cable across the banks.

Read what a water gap is and when a draw needs one, or see water gaps.

Yes, in every town we serve. That means braced corners, tall gates, and water gaps where the line crosses a creek. We walk the line with you and price it on site. See where we work.

Read high fence vs barbed wire, or see high fence and game fence.

Ask us. Storm and flood damage, broken welds, sagging wire, leaning corners, repaints, and full rebuilds are covered on the fence repair and rebuilds page. Send photos of the fence and tell us what you need. We'll say whether it's a fit and whether it looks like a repair or a rebuild.

Yes. We build pipe entries and ranch gates and put in solar or hardwired openers. Tell us up front so the posts and wiring path get planned with the gate. See ranch gates and openers.

Clearing, stripped topsoil, compacted fill built up in layers above the surrounding ground, and grading so water runs away from the building on every side. Then the slab gets formed, with anchor bolts set where the building plan puts them.

Compaction specs come from a soils report on your site, not a website. Read site prep before a shop slab, or see dirt work and pads.

Inside Weatherford city limits, yes, if it's over 200 square feet. The city requires a permit for accessory structures that size, which covers most shops and barns. Unincorporated Parker County doesn't issue building permits but does regulate septic and floodplain work.

Other towns and counties set their own rules, so check with yours before the pad goes in. See shops, barns and covers.

No. On barndominiums, we do the shell, the slab, and the site work: the structure and the ground under it. Interiors, electrical, and plumbing aren't part of our scope. Your own finish contractors handle those.

We're glad to plan the pad and slab with them so the lines come in where they need to.

We lay it out and build it: where it sits on the place, the pad, the drive, and the building itself. The structure comes from your building supplier, so ask them for the manufacturer's stamped drawings for your building. See metal buildings.

Mechanically, with mulching, dozing, grubbing, and trimming. That's the only way we clear. Fence lines, building sites, and pastures thick with cedar or mesquite all get the same approach. See land clearing.

Yes. We dig and shape stock tanks and ponds for livestock and wildlife, and we can plan them with fence and clearing on the same place. Where it sits and how water gets to it matter most, so we walk it with you first. See ponds and stock tanks.

Yes. One owner-run crew lays out and builds the fence line, the entry, the shop, and the land work around it. You get one walk and one plan for the whole place, so the gates, the drive, and the drainage line up.

We're based in Weatherford, in Parker County, and work from Fort Worth west to Abilene and south to Waco. That covers Aledo, Hudson Oaks, Willow Park, Granbury, Lipan, Mineral Wells, Stephenville, Glen Rose, Eastland, Cisco, Hillsboro, Benbrook, Abilene, and Waco.

Fence and gates travel the farthest. Buildings and dirt work start closest to home. See where we work.

Yes. Call or text 254-716-5760. Texts and quote requests get a reply from a person, about your job, to set up a time to walk the place. Send a request through the form and it'll tell you when to expect our text.

The owner's crew. Kolton Fain owns and runs the business, and one owner-run crew lays out and builds the work, so you're not handed off to a sales desk. Read more about us.
