Farm Fence Installation in Hallsville, MO
Columbia Farm Fence is a farm fence contractor serving Hallsville, Missouri. We build field fence, high-tensile and electric fence, barbed wire, board and rail fence, pipe corrals and working pens, and farm gates. We hold a Missouri license and carry insurance, and we run north Boone County out of Columbia.
Farmers around here picked the name of this town at a meeting in 1853, and the railroad came through a few years later to move grain and livestock toward Centralia. The ground that fed those cars is still pasture and row crop. It is upland, and upland here means rolling. A fence line that runs level across rolling ground leaves daylight in every low spot. We follow the terrain instead. Tie-down posts hold the wire into the draws so a calf cannot crawl under, and posts come closer together over the rises.
Wire is a spec, not a commodity. We run twelve and a half gauge high tensile, which carries well over a thousand pounds before it stretches at all. Class 3 galvanized coating puts about three times the zinc on that wire as Class 1. Soft, thinly coated wire stretches once, stays stretched, and rusts at the barbs. We tension high tensile with a ratchet strainer and leave a spring on the line, so you can take slack out in year three without rebuilding the fence.
Gates fail before fences do. A gate levers against one post every time it swings, so the hinge post gets set deeper and braced back into the line.
