5 Types of Fences for Your Charlottesville Horse Farms

5 Types of fences for your Charlottesville horse farms.

The safety of your horse farm must always be a major priority as a horse owner. That is why when looking for Charlottesville horse farms for sale, you must first educate yourself on what to expect when it comes to fences. The type of fences used in horse farms can greatly contribute to safety, as well as to attractiveness and functionality of the property. Although every kind has its own set of advantages and disadvantages, the 5 types of fences below are the most commonly used by equine property owners everywhere.

5 Types of Fences for Your Charlottesville Horse Farms

  1. Wood

The first and the most common type of fence in Charlottesville is the wooden fence. You can even see these types of fences in high end properties. Wood is the way to go install if you want something strong and appealing. Horse farm owners usually install 3 or 4 board fencing painted either white or black.

But this requires a lot of maintenance because wood can be damaged by horses’ chewing and by the changes in the weather. It is not that expensive to put up but rather expensive to keep. As for paint, the white paint fades sooner so it requires more frequent painting.

  1. Woven Wire with a Wood Board on Top

This is the next type of fence most commonly installed in this area. It is sturdy and attractive at the same time. When you choose this type of fencing, bear in mind that it is important that the wire is composed of a small enough type of mesh so that a horse cannot put a foot through. This is crucial because it could lead to injury or the horse pulling off a shoe.

  1. Electric or Hot Wire

Most people use this for temporary fences in their horse farms for sale in Charlottesville. It is really cheap and can be installed without any difficulty. It is also effective in keeping horses off. The downside of it though is that it is not very visible nor visually pleasing. That is why most horse farm owners use this temporarily or use it together with other types of fences, like PVC or wood. In some horse farms, you may see an electric wire run along the top board of a wooden fence as it is effective in keeping the horses from chewing on it.

  1. Wire

Depending on the type that your will use, wire mesh can be your best option for inexpensive fence. It won’t hurt horses that much when they run into it. The bad news is that visibility is not that good so owners of Charlottesville horse farms often use wood top rail, pvc or tape so horses can easily see it.

  1. PVC or Vinyl

The good thing about vinyl or PVC fence is that it comes in different colors and can easily draw the attention of onlookers. Moreover, it is not difficult to maintain as it requires no paint and horses don’t chew on them. It adds to the overall appeal and hence to the value of your farm.

However, when you think of the cost, vinyl might easily break your budget as it is very expensive. To add to this, it is not strong enough to hold horses. Unless you use electric fencing together with it, the plastic can easily break when horses push on it.

These kinds of details matter a lot in a horse farm. So next time you check out www.jumpintogreenerpastures.com to find your perfect Charlottesville horse farm for sale, do not forget to pay attention to the fences. Remember that more than to just mark the scope of your property, it would play a vital role in its safety and aesthetics.
