Delaware County Farm Fencing
Also known as agricultural fencing, farm fencing offers security for farmers and their livestock. Some farmers may also choose to use fencing as a way to protect their crops from different disturbing animal pests. On the other hand, some other farm owners might simply want to put up a fence to serve as a mark on their property or the territory of land where they could do their farming business.
With 25 years of background in the field of fencing in Delaware County, GC Fence does not merely understand what the clients need in terms of creating fences around the farmland they own. The company also knows the rules that determine how proper fencing ought to be laid out according to the property laws of Pennsylvania.
Farm fencing requires the use of heavy-duty materials that can withstand the power of livestock to test the limits of the fence itself. Farm fences are primarily designed to protect the farm from intruders, as well as from livestock that might want to go over and beyond it.
GC Fence understands the high stakes that are involved in farm fencing. Hence, the company makes sure that before the clients make any decisions, they have an agreement on what is expected of the fences, and if their budget matches the materials, they would want to be used in establishing the fences.

Different Types of Modern Farm Fencing
There are currently different types of modern farm fencing used by GC Fence, depending on the demand of every client. Depending on function and budget, GC Fence offers several types of modern farm fencing that fit the expectations of a client.
Wire fences
This type of fencing is usually used to protect crop farms and livestock farms that are composed of smaller livestock such as chicken, ducks, and others that are not strong enough to break through the limits provided by the wire fence.
Usually, wire fences are run on wooden posts. With a typical 2 to 5 feet height of steel posts, these fences function much better with the use of oak and juniper because of the durability of these wooden materials to withstand the changing weather and climate, thus reducing the cost of maintenance and future schedules of restructuring the fence.
Electric Fence
With the use of a light steel wire of at least 14 to 17 gauge, posts with insulators, as well as porcelain or plastic materials as part of the synthetic web of rope and steel wire that can be electrically charged. This fence is designed to give animals a harmless shock that is supposed to send the animals away or back into their territory by making them uncomfortable enough to respond accordingly to the shock.
Installing electric farm fences is very important, especially when it comes to controlling the voltage rate of electricity that shall be distributed across the whole fence’s setup once triggers are recognized.
Synthetic Fence
A synthetic fence, constructed on a variant of vinyl rail or strap fence, may or may not be electrically charged depending on what the client wants.
The installation of a synthetic vinyl fence often follows the same process of installing plain high-tensile fences, which highlights the need for the fence to be tightened. This is why part of the maintenance of a synthetic fence is to keep the whole setup regularly tightened.
Wood and Pipe Fence
Lower budget options often call for certain material considerations, and wood and pipe are often the most common alternative to other forms of farm fences. To keep the material from being exposed to external natural factors that could ruin the fence, lines are often used to discourage predators as well as keeping the whole set of enclosure more functional for a more extended period.
