Fence for open ground
What kind of farm fence fits your land in Elgin?
A farm fence has to hold a line across open ground, so the right one depends on what it keeps in and what it keeps out. JB Nealy Fence builds board fence, three rail wood fence, wire field fence on wood posts, rail fence with metal farm gates, and wood and wire panels. Board fence gives a pasture a finished look from the road. Three rail wood marks a boundary through the trees. Wire field fence on wood posts holds animals along a pond or a back line. We build around pastures, acreage and farmhouse yards in Elgin, Lugoff, Hopkins, Columbia, Sumter and out toward Lake Wateree. We walk the property with you, mark out the fence line, and plan where the gates go before a post is set. The crew can handle county permits too. Tell us what the fence has to hold, and we will tell you which style does it.
Fence types
Five ways to fence a field
Same crew, same posts in the ground, different job. Here is how each style holds a line.
Board fence
Solid boards along the road side of a pasture or up to an entry. The board fence with a brick pillar is pictured under gates and entries.

Black metal farm gate in a rail fence
Metal farm gates
A farm gate gets opened more than any other part of the fence. We hang black metal farm gates in rail fence where the truck, the mower or the animals need to pass. Tell us what has to get through and how wide, and we plan the opening before the posts go in.
Looking at wood instead? Wood fence installation covers wood gates with black hardware.

Brick pillar entries
A brick pillar marks where the property starts. Board fence can run right up to one, as in the job pictured, so the entry and the fence line read as one build.

Questions
Farm fence questions, answered straight
How much does a farm fence cost?
It depends on the footage, the style, how many gates you want, and how the ground lays. Rolling land and wooded lines take more work than flat pasture. We do not guess a figure over a text. We walk the property, mark the line, and send a quote with the real numbers. The estimate is free.
Which farm fence style should I pick?
Start with the job. Board fence looks finished along a road or entry. Three rail wood marks a boundary and suits wooded ground. Wire field fence on wood posts holds animals along open lines and ponds. Rail fence with metal gates gives you a wide opening that lasts. Tell us the land and we will recommend one.
Do you install farm gates?
Yes. We hang black metal farm gates in rail fence, and wood gates with black hardware in wood fence. Before the posts go in, tell us what has to pass through and how wide, whether that is a truck, a mower or a few animals. We plan the opening and mark where the gate sits on the line.
What happens when I ask for a quote?
Three steps. Send us a text, chat on the phone, and receive a quote. We also walk the property with you and mark out the fence line before the build, so you can see where each run and gate will sit. Estimates are free, and you can say no after you see the numbers.
Where do you build farm fence?
We are based in Elgin, SC and work in Elgin, Woodcreek, Columbia, Lexington, West Columbia, Seven Oaks, Rock Hill, Sumter, Florence and Saint Andrews, plus Monroe, NC. Farm fence jobs have also taken us to Lugoff and Hopkins. If your acreage sits near that list but is not on it, ask.
