Farm & Field Fence that suits Canton properties.
Around Canton, farm and field fence has to do a job: hold livestock, mark a line, and survive equipment traffic without constant repair. Homeowners upgrading tired fence, plus rural properties and small farms west of town. Rolling Fulton County ground with mature trees and a fair number of sloped backyards. We build woven wire, high-tensile, barbed, and split-rail systems sized to the animal and the acreage rather than to a catalog.
How we build it here
We drive posts rather than augering wherever the ground allows — driven posts hold better in Fulton County soil and go in far faster on long runs. Clay with old mine-spoil pockets in places — we probe before we set a long line. Corners and ends get H-braces or double-H braces sized to the pull, wire is stretched with a proper strainer, and gates are framed for the width of the equipment that actually uses them.
Rate depends on the run — clean, open ground moves several hundred feet a day per crew.

What Canton customers say.
“Tazewell County Fence Co. installed woven wire fencing around part of our property, along with a large equipment gate. They explained the different post options, gave us a clear estimate, and helped us choose something that fit our budget. The fence looks strong and everything was completed professionally.”
“We needed a long stretch of affordable fencing for our pasture. They helped us compare T-posts, wood posts, and different wire options before we made a decision. We appreciated that they focused on durability without pushing us toward the most expensive option.”
“Our project involved several fence runs, uneven ground, and multiple gates. They took the time to understand how we use the property and recommended a practical layout. The finished fence works well for our land and stayed within the budget we discussed.”
Farm & Field Fence questions from Canton homeowners.
- How much does farm fence cost per foot near Canton, IL?
- Agricultural fence around Canton typically runs $6–$18 per linear foot installed, depending on the system. Barbed and high-tensile sit at the low end; woven wire with wood posts and split rail sit at the high end. Brush clearing, creek crossings, and brace count move the price.
- What fence is best for horses versus cattle?
- Horses do best behind woven wire with a top rail, no-climb mesh, or coated high-tensile — anything that won't cut if an animal leans or panics. Cattle are usually fine with barbed or high-tensile at the right height and spacing. Tell us the animals and we'll spec the system.
- Do you clear the fence line first?

- Do I need a permit for agricultural fence?
- Canton issues residential fence permits; older plats often need the survey pulled before layout.
