Secure your boundaries with professional fencing. From agricultural barbed wire to residential wood privacy fences — installed on surveyed property lines to prevent disputes and protect your investment.
Get Fencing QuoteProperty fencing defines boundaries, contains livestock, enhances privacy, and protects land from trespass. The key to avoiding neighbor disputes: install fencing on surveyed property lines, not assumptions. A fence built on someone else's land can trigger lawsuits and forced removal.
TerraVector coordinates the full fencing process: boundary surveys to establish legal lines, selecting appropriate materials (barbed wire, field fence, wood, vinyl, steel), obtaining permits, and matching you with experienced fence contractors. We serve rural and residential properties across central and eastern Washington.
Licensed surveyor locates property corners and marks fence line to prevent encroachment.

Costs depend on material, terrain, and length. Agricultural barbed wire costs $1.50–$3/linear foot. Field fence (woven wire) costs $3–$6/ft. Wood privacy fencing costs $15–$35/ft. Vinyl costs $20–$40/ft. Steel or ornamental iron costs $25–$50/ft. A typical 5-acre perimeter (1,860 ft) costs $4K–$12K for agricultural, $20K–$30K+ for residential wood.
Yes, absolutely. Building a fence even 6 inches onto your neighbor's land can lead to legal disputes, court orders to remove the fence, and damage claims. A boundary survey ensures your fence is on your property and prevents costly mistakes.
Depends on county and location. Many rural counties don't require permits for agricultural fencing. Urban and suburban jurisdictions often require permits for fences over 6 feet tall or within setbacks. Check with your county planning department before starting.
Depends on animals. Cattle: 4-5 strand barbed wire or high-tensile smooth wire. Horses: 4-rail wood or no-climb field fence (2x4" mesh). Sheep/goats: woven wire field fence with bottom close to ground. Alpacas/llamas: 5-foot woven wire. Avoid barbed wire for horses (injury risk).
Agricultural fencing for 5–40 acres typically takes 3–10 days depending on terrain and crew size. Residential privacy fencing takes 1–3 days for typical yard perimeters. Custom projects with gates, terrain challenges, or rock drilling take longer.
Washington law doesn't require fencing, but if you build a boundary fence, you typically maintain your side. If neighbors split costs or agree to shared fence, maintenance responsibility should be documented in writing. Clear agreements prevent future disputes.
Not unless you have a prior agreement or subdivision covenant requiring it. Washington doesn't mandate shared fence costs. You can ask your neighbor to contribute, but they're not legally obligated unless there's existing obligation (like livestock containment requirements).
We coordinate fencing projects across central and eastern Washington: Grant, Adams, Douglas, Lincoln, Franklin, Okanogan, Spokane, Kittitas, and Chelan counties.
