Quality Materials Built to Last
Premium Cedar Frames
We build all hog wire fence frames using premium Western Red Cedar for its natural resistance to rot, decay, and insects. Cedar's stability and durability make it ideal for the structural framework that supports the wire panels.
Our cedar posts are set deep in concrete for maximum stability, and we use properly sized rails and blocking to prevent sagging. The wood frame is what gives your hog wire fence its long-term structural integrity.
Galvanized Wire Panels
We use high-quality galvanized welded wire mesh that's specifically designed for long-term outdoor use. The galvanized coating protects against rust and corrosion, even in our wet Pacific Northwest climate.
The wire panels are properly stretched and securely fastened to prevent sagging. With proper installation and basic maintenance, your hog wire fence will maintain its appearance and functionality for 20+ years, combining the longevity of cedar with the durability of galvanized steel.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
Hog wire fence pricing varies based on linear footage, height, terrain complexity, whether old fence removal is needed, and your chosen design options. Our typical hog wire fence installations range from $38-$55 per linear foot installed, reflecting the cost of quality wire panels and the specialized labor required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a hog wire fence?
A hog wire fence (also called wire panel or hogwire fence) combines a wood frame structure with welded wire mesh panels. The wire panels are typically 4x4 inch openings made from galvanized steel wire. Originally used for livestock fencing, the style has been adapted for residential use and has become popular in modern rustic and farmhouse design. The result is a fence that's both functional and visually striking.
Will a hog wire fence keep my dog contained?
Yes! Hog wire fencing is excellent for dog containment. The standard 4x4 inch wire spacing is small enough to prevent most dogs from squeezing through, and the welded wire mesh is strong enough to withstand jumping and pushing. The fact that dogs can see through the fence also reduces barrier frustration and fence-running behavior. We can install it at 4ft, 5ft, or 6ft height depending on your dog's size and jumping ability.
Does hog wire fencing rust over time?
We use high-quality galvanized steel wire panels that are specifically designed to resist rust and corrosion. The galvanized coating protects the wire from Pacific Northwest moisture. While some natural patina may develop over many years (which actually adds to the rustic aesthetic), the wire maintains its structural integrity. Paired with rot-resistant cedar frames, your hog wire fence will last 20+ years.
Can hog wire fences work on sloped properties?
Absolutely! Hog wire fences are actually ideal for slopes and hillsides. We can step the fence to follow the grade, or rack the wire panels at an angle to follow the natural slope. The flexibility of this style makes it perfect for challenging terrain. During your free estimate, we'll assess your property and show you the best approach.
What's the typical cost for hog wire fence installation?
Hog wire fence costs typically range from $38-$55 per linear foot, depending on height, terrain, and whether old fence removal is needed. The wire panels and specialized installation affect pricing, but many homeowners find the unique aesthetic and functionality worth the investment. We'll provide transparent pricing during your free on-site estimate.
How do you attach the wire panels to the wood frame?
We use professional-grade fence staples and/or screws with washers to securely attach the galvanized wire panels to the cedar frame. The panels are stretched tight and fastened at close intervals to prevent sagging. The wire is installed on the interior side of the fence for a clean appearance from the street. This method ensures a secure, long-lasting attachment that won't come loose over time.
