Field fence across HRM

The fence that keeps the dog in and the coyotes out.

Five-foot field fence on driven posts, built by the two of us. We walk your line, count the posts, and give you one price for the whole run.

Who we are

Two brothers who fenced their own land first.

Boreal Field Fence is the two of us. We started on seven acres near Peggys Cove — a dog to keep in, chickens to keep alive — and learned field fence the way you learn anything on your own property: by doing it until it held.

Every quote comes from the person who walks your line, and every post goes in the ground by the same two people. Five feet tall, braced at the corners, and backed for two years against leaning posts and dragging gates.

How a run gets built

Three stages, in the order we do them

Clearing, setting and stringing are one contract with one crew. Nothing is subcontracted and nothing waits on another trade.

    Clearing the fence line

    We walk the proposed line with you, flag the corners, and cut a working corridor through brush, alder and blowdown. Stumps come out where posts need to go, and the grade is read for low spots before anything is set.

    Setting the posts

    Pressure-treated line posts go in on eight-foot spacing, driven below the frost line. Corners and gate ends are 4x6 stock set 42 inches deep and double H-braced, because a fence fails at its corners long before it fails in the middle.

    Stringing the fence

    Class-3 galvanized woven wire is pulled tight, crimped at the splices and stapled to every line post. We finish the run with a barbed top where stock demands it, then hang and square the gates.

Walk your line with us — no charge.

Send us your acreage and a rough length. We come out, mark the corners, and hand you a post count and a price.
