Steel Fencing | Gates & Panels
Steel fencing is one of the most popular options for heavy-duty fencing. These fences are most frequently used for horses, cattle, or other livestock due to their superior strength compared to other fencing materials.
Steel pipe fence is also much more durable than other fencing options, as it can withstand the elements without suffering much damage. Compared with wood, it is easy to see why steel pipe fencing products are the preferred option for keeping animals safe. These fences can be constructed using recycled materials, making them as cost-effective as they are durable. There are several components that go into a complete steel fence, including fencing pipe, pipe gates, fence panels, fence posts, and steel fence braces. These steel fencing products are explained in greater detail below. Steel Pipe Fencing Steel pipe fencing is an incredibly versatile and durable fencing system. Owners can expect to get years of service from their steel pipe fencing with minimal effort after installation. A few types of steel pipe fence constructions are available, including pipe on pipe and pipe and cable fences. Pipe on Pipe Pipe on pipe fencing is the most durable of the two options. With these fences, thicker steel pipes are used for fence posts, while thinner ones are stacked horizontally and welded to each post. These fences are incredibly sturdy and make an attractive addition to any ranch or farm. Pipe on pipe fence can be built using almost entirely recycled materials, making it an excellent option for anyone looking to save some extra money. It is easy to assume that recycled steel pipe would be less attractive or durable than new steel pipe, but that is not always the case. In fact, pipes can range in quality, whether it is new or old. Good steel pipe for fence is considered any that are one consistent length (or dead length) rather than random ones, is completely straight, has no unwelded seams, and no holes. Mediocre pipe, or secondary pipe, can come in random lengths and may have cosmetic flaws. Reject pipe has several defects, including unwelded seams, varying wall thicknesses, and bows. Pipe and Cable Pipe and cable fencing is a popular option among horse owners. Horses are prone to escape attempts and may try to stick their legs between the pipes on a steel pipe fence. If this happens, the horse could suffer a severe injury. Pipe and cable fences have flexible cables that run horizontally between steel pipe fence posts. The top fence beam is still made of steel fencing pipe to provide structure and stability, but the lower beams are usually steel cables. These flexible cables help keep horses from injuring themselves should they attempt to run through or climb over the fence. 
Pipe Gates Steel pipe gates are necessary for any property, whether it is a standard driveway or cattle ranch. They provide an entry point for livestock access and offer protection from unauthorized entry to a person’s property. While there are many gate options out there, steel pipe gates are among the best ones available. Our steel pipe gates are made from the same heavy-duty, durable steel from which pipe fencing is made. They can be made to match any new or existing pipe fence for a uniform look. Steel pipe gates come equipped with high-quality hinges, caps to prevent internal corrosion, chains, and welded on grab hooks. Note: Our gates are made from 1-5/8" O.D. x 13 Gauge steel pipe, welded plate hinges with grease certs and chain latch. Gates our measured from the start of the flat hinge weld plate.

Pipe Fence Panels Pipe fence panels are an essential component of continuous fence systems. Continuous fencing offers durability, versatility, and value unmatched by other fence types. A continuous fence is constructed using rounded, solid metal posts that are bent at corners rather than having two straight panels that meet in the corner. The corners of a continuous fence are much stronger and more reliable than other types of fences. The lack of joint provides extra strength and protection, whether it is for a livestock enclosure or a person’s backyard.
Steel Fence Braces Fencing is one of the most important aspects of farming with livestock or raising horses. It is critical that permanent fences are constructed using high-quality, sturdy materials with solid frameworks for maximum protection. The fence framework primarily consists of two components, which are the H-brace and the corner brace. H-Brace An H-brace consists of two vertical steel pipes with one horizontal steel pipe welded between the two. An H-brace provides a support system for the entire fence line. These braces are located at the corners, points of direction changes in the face, gates, in the center of long stretches of fence lines, and points of significant elevation changes. They provide extra strength to the fencing system and can be used as strong, stable places from which cable fencing can be pulled or stretched. Corner Brace Fence corner braces are essential for securing the corners where two lengths of fence meet. These are constructed similarly to H-braces but have an additional vertical and horizontal steel pipe that is welded to the H-brace on one end at a 90-degree angle to create a corner. These provide extra stability to the whole fencing system and protect an otherwise weak joint from breaking down under pressure. The Bottom Line Whether fencing in a property or creating an enclosure for horses or livestock, steel fencing pipe offers the most durability, strength, and longevity of any fence option on the market today. Using high-quality steel and featuring a solid construction, these fences are guaranteed to last for years to come. Choosing steel fencing products is the best way to protect a person’s property and keep the enclosure secure and safe.
