Customize your horse fence to suit virtually any requirement
Class 3 galvanized coating
The Class 3 galvanized coating on our fence materials is proven to last three times longer than Class 1.
When considering containment and the safety of your horses, you’ll consider the reliability of your horse fence, along with the overall value for the investment.
Tejas Ranch & Game Fence understands these questions and provides the perfect balance of service life, reliability and value – in both materials and installation of a horse fence.
The high tensile steel mesh is designed to provide greater security and a long service life. This means lower overall long-term expenses, both in terms of replacement costs and maintenance.
With a wide range of height, mesh pattern options and steel tube framing, Tejas Ranch & Game Fence is the premier fence contractor, capable of installing the horse fence that best suits your needs.
We offer additional features, such as Predator Control barriers and water gaps, giving you the ability to customize your horse fence to suit virtually any requirement.
For the ultimate steel mesh, we offer a profile featuring a zinc-aluminum coating that is highly resistant to flaking, cracking, splitting or separating from the steel. This Class 40 Zinc-Aluminum coating is the highest degree of protection available for high-tensile steel mesh.

Horse Fencing:
The steel mesh is designed to withstand stresses without losing shape or strength. The crimps in the horizontal wires absorb pressure – both during installation and from animals.
Horse Fence Information
Over the years, horse owners have been creative with their fences–all pipe, pipe and cable, pipe and wire, wire with cedar stays, wood, and other combinations.
Tejas fence professionals can design and install a variety of horse fences, each built with durability, flexibility, safety, and longevity in mind.
The most cost-effective fencing incorporates high-tensile, fixed-knot material, which is well suited for horse paddock side lines, bordering protection, and pastures.
Performance of Tejas Fixed-Knot Horse Fences
- Fixed-knot superior strength is less likely to slip or give under pressure.
- Fences are built with heavy-duty Class 3 galvanized wire.
- All have a 20-year warranty.
- These fences are stronger than typical “bull” wire or field/hinge fencing.
- They last three times longer than traditional low-tensile horse fencing.
- Vertical stays give fence more rigidity.
- Posts can be spaced as far as 25 feet apart.
- The fencing stays tight with less than 1% elongation over service life.
- Deep crimping creates memory for optimal flexibility to absorb impact, severe weather, and climate change.
- The fencing does not sag or squash down as other fence materials will.
- It is virtually maintenance free.
- The fencing can be a predator deterrent or predator proof, depending on setup.
Horse Safety
The fixed-knot wire mesh prevents horses from putting their heads through the fence or stepping through gaps and becoming entangled. Fixed-knot fences are particularly advantageous for mare and foal operations. Additionally, horses are less likely to injure themselves on this type of material, which withstands forceful kicking and horse hooves. Fixed-knot fencing is also more visible and easier for fast-running horses to see, which helps reduce accidental impacts.
Horse Fence Costs
Building or replacing a fence comes down to value versus cost. High-tensile fences provide significant value, as detailed above. And over the long-term, these superior fences cost no more to install and maintain than barbed wire. The cost to install fixed-knot fence is virtually the same as barbed wire because of the 25-foot post spacing, which requires fewer end posts. After installation, the fixed-knot fence is practically maintenance free, which translates into significant savings of time and money. The service life is also more than three times longer than that of barbed wire and hinge joint fencing.
Selecting Fence Specs for your Application
With a wide variety of height and mesh patterns at their disposal, Tejas Ranch & Game Fence team members can install the horse fence that best suits your needs for years to come.
Our recommended horse fence material has 16 horizontal wires and stands 61 inches tall. Vertical spacing is available in 12-inch, 6-inch, and 3-inch lengths. For pasture, cross and perimeter fences with low pressure, we offer the 6-inch vertical spacing. For stalls, holding pens, and runways, we recommend the 3-inch vertical spacing for greater strength and resistance to pawing and downward pressure.
