Pipe & Rail Fence
Pipe fence is the heavy-duty option for areas that need to handle serious pressure — cattle working pens, horse corrals, loading chutes, and high-traffic entry points. Built from welded steel pipe (usually 2-3/8" or 2-7/8" diameter), it's virtually indestructible when properly installed. Many ranch owners also use pipe fence along road frontage for a clean, professional look that says 'working ranch.' Custom gates, cattle guards, and branded entries are common add-ons.
