Farm Fence Installation in Marshfield, MO
Springfield Farm Fence installs high-tensile and electric fence, field fence, barbed wire, board fence, pipe corrals, and farm gates in Marshfield, Missouri. Our Missouri license and our insurance cover every foot of it. Marshfield is the Webster County seat and it sits an easy run east of us on the interstate.
Old Route 66 goes through town, and the farms strung along it hold some of the oldest fence lines in the county. Wire that old was soft wire. Soft wire stretches once and never comes back, so a rebuild here usually means new wire on an old line rather than a patch.
High-tensile smooth wire is what we recommend for the bigger paddocks out of Marshfield. Twelve and a half gauge carries well over a thousand pounds before it starts to stretch. We pull it to a set tension with a ratchet strainer and leave a Gallagher spring on the line so you can read the tension at a glance. Wire tightens in a Webster County January and slackens in July. In year three you take the slack out at the strainer instead of restretching the whole fence.
High-tensile costs less per foot than woven wire and asks more of the ends. Every one of those strands pulls against the corner. We build a double H where the strand count is high, and we set brace posts three and a half to four feet down wherever the rock lets us get there.
