Barbed Wire Fencing San Luis Obispo, CA

Site Evaluation

Before presenting a quote, our team will first thoroughly evaluate your property to understand your unique needs. We inspect the landscape, measure the required lengths, check county permit requirements, and identify any access issues.

This enables us to plan the most efficient fencing design and installation process to minimize disturbance to your land. Our experts consider topography, vegetation, soil density, and a variety of other factors that impact putting up barbed fencing.

During consultation, we discuss the intended purpose, whether containing animals or deterring intruders, to select appropriate barbed wire gauge and spacing.

We also help customize the fence with your ideal height, post type, and additional accessories like a top guardrail. This comprehensive planning stage ensures we complete the job properly the first time for long-lasting, trouble-free security fencing.

Material Staging

After finalizing the customizable design plan based on your property goals, our professional crew orders the necessary high-quality fencing supplies.

This includes the gauge and spacing specifications of galvanized steel barbed wire, steel or wooden line posts, end/corner/gate posts, fasteners, tension bands, rails and caps. We have established supply relationships to obtain premium materials at bulk discounts, keeping installation costs affordable.

In addition to the barbed wire and posts, we also gather all required installation equipment. This includes post hole diggers, tamping tools, fence stretchers, tension handles, wire cutters, clamps, gloves, and protective eyewear.

Staging all essential commercial-grade fencing gear guarantees efficient on-site setup. Our crew transports the customized materials and tools directly to your property in our company vehicles.

Fence Layout

To begin construction, our professional foreman marks the planned fence layout using property line surveys and the measurements taken during initial site evaluation.

We lay out exact post positioning with stakes and specialized string lines to ensure straight, properly spaced installation. The post layout maximizes tension while conforming to the landscape.

Clearly marking fence lines before digging eliminates wasted time and materials from mistakes. Our experts establish run sections according to intended barbed wire height and post type, planning brace assemblies on curves and slopes. This careful planning stage allows rapid on-site construction.

Post Hole Installation

Now the hands-on building process starts by digging the marked post holes with an auger or manual digger. Based on soil conditions, we bore holes 12-24 inches deep and wider than the posts.

We carefully slope holes in hilly areas so posts stand perpendicular despite the grade change. The foreman checks each hole for adequate width, depth and positioning compared to string lines.

We utilize concrete or tamped earth to stabilize every hole, preventing posts from loosening over years of tension. Brace post assemblies receive additional concrete support.

Leveling and plumbing during pole insertion ensures professional finish results and simpler wire installation. We take great care installing corner, end and gate posts absolutely vertical.

Fence Wire Assembly

Once all support posts are cemented into position, we string the barbed wire rolls out along the fence line. Our crew feeds the coils through sturdy steel brace ends to connect multiple segments.

Then we tightly stretch each run using commercial grade pullers,tensioning to remove any slack in the line. Proper wire tension prevents sagging while allowing the barbs to snap against pressure.

We attach galvanized steel fence clips or staples approximately every 12-15 inches along wooden posts to grip the line. For metal posts, wires pass through built-in holes spaced based on your selected wire gauge and quantity. We use high-quality fasteners to prevent any loose connections over years of extreme weather and animal pressure.

Accessories and Safety Checks

As finishing touches, our professional fencing specialists install top rails, gates with latches, privacy slats, entrance arbors and other accessories as desired.

We remove debris, backfill holes, clean up the property and check that all barbed wires have anchored tightly. The foreman physically pulls tension at multiple points to confirm resistance, re-securing any loose sections found.

For long term fence performance and security, our crew gives a final safety inspection looking for sharp snags or problem areas needing repair. We trim protruding barbs and file any burred wire ends on gates or braces.

Though the fence will deter passage, it should not shred clothing or skin if accidentally brushed against. We guarantee all accessibility codes and safety standards are met, providing attractive protection.
