Everything You Need to Know About Installing a Fence

Have you been thinking about installing a fence on your property? Whether you are thinking about doing a do-it-yourself fence installation or planning on getting a professional fence installation done, at Longhorn Fencing and Supply, we provide all of the fencing materials needed to get your project done right. Below is a list of the things you'll need to consider to get started on your fence. 

  • Fence Material: The type of fence or gate material you choose will depend largely on what function you would like your fence to fill. Do you need a security fence? Consider getting a cedar wood or wrought iron fence. Need a fence that can stand up to the wear and tear of children and pets and keep them safe? Vinyl fencing material could be your best bet. If you just need a temporary fence, we also provide chain link and temporary fencing materials at Longhorn Fencing and Supply.
  • Uneven Ground: What is the slope of the land on your property like? Are there areas where the ground is uneven? You'll need to consider doing racked or stepped panels rather than a level topped fence. Professional help is a must with this kind of problem - our technicians at Longhorn Fencing can create and install any kind of custom fence on your property. 


  • Gate Placement: It is important to think out where you want your gate to be, how many gates you would like, and what purpose you need your gate to serve before buying the materials for it. Most homes also have two gates - one thinner one for people to come through and another for larger machinery and trashcans to go through. Wider gates are best for areas near a tool shed to allow larger machinery like lawn mowers or wheel barrows to come through. 
  • Fence Height: The amount of fence materials and supplies you'll need will also be impacted by the height you need your fence to be. For pet owners, the rule is that your dog fence should be three times the height of your dog at its shoulder. This means getting at least a 5 foot fence or higher. 
No matter what type and size of fence you decide to buy and where you need it, Longhorn Fencing and Supply can help. We serve Twin Falls, Idaho and the entire Magic Valley! Give us a call at 208-421-7095 or fill out our online form to get more information on what supplies we carry.
