Farm Fence Installation in Auburn, KS
Topeka Farm Fence builds farm fence in Auburn, Kansas. We install field fence and woven wire, high-tensile smooth wire, barbed wire, board fence, welded pipe corrals, and farm gates. We are licensed and insured in Kansas and we work the whole southwest corner of Shawnee County.
Auburn sits in the townships where the Wakarusa River starts. Water gathers there in draws before it ever looks like a river. A fence line crossing that ground meets a low spot every few hundred feet. Wire run straight across a dip leaves a gap under it, and a calf finds that gap the first week. We set tie-down posts at the low points and hang floodgates where the fence crosses running water, so the fence follows the ground instead of bridging it.
Most of the land around town is unincorporated farm and pasture ground. Auburn is one of a handful of incorporated cities in the county, so the fence work out here is pasture work, not subdivision work. Long barbed wire runs carry cattle. Woven wire holds calves and goats. Both live or die at the end assembly.
We build an H-brace at every corner, end, and gate opening. Two posts, a horizontal rail near the top, and a brace wire wrapped twice on the diagonal and twisted until it rings. A brace post measures six to eight inches through and sinks three and a half to four feet. Topeka clay swells wet and shrinks dry, and a shallow post walks out of that ground. Line posts we tamp in lifts rather than pouring concrete around wood, because concrete holds water at the collar and rots the post from the middle out.
