Ranch and Agricultural Fencing Near Houston TX
Houston and the surrounding counties have a unique mix of suburban residential development and rural agricultural land. Mustang Fencing serves both — from privacy fences in Katy subdivisions to cattle perimeter fencing in Waller County and horse paddocks in Fort Bend County.
Agricultural Fencing Options
Barbed Wire Fence
The most common perimeter fence for cattle ranches in Texas. Standard configurations include 5-strand and 4-strand barbed wire with wood or steel t-posts at 8–16 foot spacing. Mustang Fencing installs barbed wire perimeter fence for ranches throughout Greater Houston, including Waller, Austin, Grimes, and Liberty counties.
Pipe Fence
Steel pipe fence provides maximum strength and durability for cattle pens, sorting facilities, and high-traffic ranch areas. Oil field pipe is commonly used in Texas due to availability and cost. Pipe fence is virtually maintenance-free and lasts 40+ years with minimal upkeep.
High-Tensile Wire Fence
High-tensile wire is ideal for long perimeter runs where cost efficiency is important. It requires fewer posts than barbed wire and flexes rather than breaks under pressure. Commonly used for deer-proof perimeters and large pasture division.
No-Climb Horse Fence
For horse properties, woven wire “no-climb” horse mesh with a smooth wire top rail is the safest option. It prevents horses from catching hooves in the fence while providing clear visibility. Popular in Fort Bend County and Montgomery County equestrian communities.
