When it comes to caring for your horse, safety and security should be your number one priority. But what’s the best way to accomplish this goal while keeping it affordable? There are so many options for equine enclosures that selecting the right one for your property could feel overwhelming. Start by considering these key questions to help guide you to the right solution for your property.
Goats are notorious escape artists, maybe more so than any other farm animal. They are naturally inquisitive and mischievous animals and will try to remove, climb over or get around any obstacle in the way. Their determination to push boundaries makes protecting goats a huge challenge. A secure enclosure is essential in order to keep them safe from themselves as well as from predators.
The relationship with our canine friends is unique and complex. It seems the more we express affection and demonstrate care, the greater the bond. Domesticated dogs have come to rely on their human families for food, socialization and protection. When we provide these essential elements, our reward is unconditional love and loyal companionship.
Dogs can be tricky animals to fence in. Small breeds can easily slip through fence gaps and end up in dangerous areas. On the other hand, large dog breeds can weigh 100 pounds or more and a flimsy fence won’t stop them from going where they want to go.
Sturdy rolls of woven wire and thick timber posts are clear components to any quality fence project. But an often-overlooked element to a successful fence installation is the staple. Properly installing quality staples will increase your fence’s durability against pressure from the outside.
Do you need livestock pens or corrals that don’t flex under pressure? Consider Red Brand Stockade Panels. Designed for busy farmers and ranchers, our welded panels are quick to install and require minimal maintenance. With a variety of styles and weights, our Stockade Panels are custom made to match your specific animal-confinement needs.
For a multi-purpose, cost-effective fencing option, consider Red Brand smooth wire. These single wire strands have no barbs, and are not woven to other wires. Because its available in lengths ranging from 170 feet to nearly ten thousand feet, our multi-use smooth wire can handle a variety of tasks. Whether you want to fence in a new pasture, supplement your current fence, or make household chores easier, having a roll of single strand wire is never a bad idea.
Most fences are built to keep animals in. Horse and cattle pastures, sheep & goat enclosures, dog kennels, chicken coops, and many others primarily function as containment. Red Brand has a fence design for nearly every animal you want to safely corral. But Red Brand also has exclosures – styles that keep unwanted animals like deer out.
Nearly every roll of Red Brand fence is designed for a specific use. Even the smallest details are taken into account – Keepsafe’s closely spaced v-mesh prevents circular horse hooves from getting caught. Deer & Wildlife’s wires reach over 8 feet tall to keep even the highest leaping bucks out of your property. Odds are, Red Brand has a fence that was designed specifically for your purpose.
However, not all fences can be exclusive to one need. For projects that call for a variety of applications, consider Utility Fence. Intended to be a jack-of-all-trades, this fence offers strength and rigidity for a variety of outdoor applications.
Red Brand’s founder, Peter Sommer, built and repaired plenty of wooden fencing in his time. It was hard, back-breaking work. As a result, he sought an easier, better way to make fencing. He needed something that would last longer while protecting his valuable livestock. So, in 1889, Sommer invented the first fence weaving machine.
