Farm & Ranch Fencing Services Built for Clarendon, TX Landowners

Lindsey Fencing & Portable Welding delivers barbed wire, pipe, and post fencing designed for livestock containment and pasture protection across Clarendon, TX, and the surrounding Panhandle ranchland.

Properly tensioned barbed wire and deep-set steel posts create flexible strength that resists gusts and ground shift common across Clarendon.

Clarendon sits in open terrain where sustained wind can lift poorly anchored wire and crack wooden posts. Ranch fencing relies on heavy-gauge wire and pipe corners braced at angles to distribute lateral force. Each strand is tensioned to flex slightly rather than snap.

Post spacing follows soil type, with wider intervals in clay and tighter spacing in sandy zones near seasonal creeks. This approach reduces wobble and keeps wire taut through temperature swings and storm events typical in Donley County.

Barbed wire, smooth wire, and tubular steel pipe are the three primary materials for livestock fencing in Clarendon and nearby ranch operations.

Barbed wire provides a visible and effective boundary for cattle, with four to five strands spaced vertically. Smooth high-tensile wire suits horses because it reduces injury risk while maintaining containment. Pipe fencing, often used for corrals and working pens, offers the highest durability and can be welded on-site using portable equipment.

You can combine materials in a single project, running pipe along high-traffic gates and barbed wire along long perimeter stretches. Lindsey Fencing tailors each design to your herd size, pasture layout, and daily operational needs around Clarendon.

Survey your property boundaries, confirm easements, verify soil conditions, and identify existing utilities before any post goes into the ground.

Boundary disputes delay projects and create legal complications. Walking your fence line with a plat map or county survey ensures posts land on your side of the property line. Soil testing reveals hardpan, caliche layers, or sandy pockets that dictate auger depth and post diameter.

Utility companies mark underground gas, electric, and water lines at no charge, preventing costly damage during augering. Seasonal drainage patterns also matter; low spots near creeks or playa lakes may require gravel footings or elevated wire to prevent washout during heavy rain events common in spring and early summer across the Texas Panhandle.

Clarendon's mix of clay hardpan, caliche subsoil, and dry summers creates unique challenges for post stability and wire tension over time.

Clay expands when wet and contracts during drought, shifting posts unless they are set below the frost line and backfilled with gravel. Caliche layers can crack auger bits but provide excellent lateral support once posts are seated. Dry heat accelerates wood decay unless treated lumber is used, and UV exposure fades untreated wire coatings within a few seasons.

Lindsey Fencing selects materials and installation techniques proven across similar ranchland near Highway 287 and Clarendon College. Steel posts outlast wood in these conditions, and hot-dipped galvanized wire resists rust longer than standard zinc coatings in the arid Panhandle climate.
