Fences built for Montana wind.
Privacy, picket, ranch, and chain link. Residential lots and rural acreage across south-central Montana.
A Fence That's Still Standing in Twenty Years
Every post I set goes in for the ground it’s going in and the wind it has to stand up to. Some soil wants a post tamped, some wants it driven, some wants concrete. I figure that out on your place, not off a spec sheet. We’ll walk the line together at the on-site quote and talk through cedar, vinyl, chain link, metal, and pressure-treated, so you know what you’re getting and why.
You get a written, fixed-price quote before anything starts. One number, one person, from the first walkthrough to the final handshake. I’d rather overbuild it once than come back to fix it later.

Fence Materials
Five ways to build a fence line out here. I'll tell you which one fits your ground and your budget.
Cedar
Cedar posts, rails, and pickets that weather to a soft silver. Seal it or leave it bare. Either way the line stays straight.
Vinyl
Panels and gates that shrug off wind and never need paint. Set the posts right and vinyl still looks new in twenty years.
Chain link
Heavier gauge wire, tensioned properly, on posts that won't lean. Best value for pasture perimeter, kennels, and anywhere you want to see through.
Metal & ornamental
Aluminum and wrought iron for driveway gates and estate fence. Costs the most up front and outlasts everything else on this list.
Pressure-treated
The workhorse. Ground-contact posts and rails that take the wet and the frost without rotting out. What most ranch fence gets built from.
How We Work
Four steps from your first call to the final walk-through.
- 1
Talk it through
Call me or send the form. Tell me what you want to build, where it's going, and when you'd like it done.
- 2
Quote and schedule
I come out, measure, walk through materials, and send a fixed-price quote. Say go and we lock in a start date.
- 3
Build it
We show up when we said we would, work it start to finish, and leave the site cleaner than we found it.

Walkthrough
Final walk-through together once it's done. Anything that's not right, I make it right before I call it finished.
Frequently Asked Questions
What folks ask before they call about a fence. If yours isn't here, just call.
How deep do you set fence posts?
Below frost line, and how far below depends on your dirt. Sandy ground, rock, and heavy clay all behave differently once freeze-thaw starts working on them. Some posts get tamped, some get driven, some get set in concrete. I make that call standing on your property, not off a spec sheet.
Will it handle the wind out here?
That's what I build for. Post size, depth, and spacing all get spec'd for the wind we actually get in this part of Montana, not the minimum a code book will sign off on. Built past code, not just to it. I'd rather set an extra post than watch a panel go down the road.
Do you tear out the old fence?
Yes. Tear-out and haul-off are in the fixed-price quote, so you're not left standing there with a pile of old posts and wire. The number you sign covers the whole job, start to clean.
Ready to talk about your fence?
I come out, measure, and send you a written fixed price. No pressure, no salesman.
