Product Description

The complete guide to choosing, planning, and building today's best fences: wire, rail, electric, high-tension, temporary, woven, and snow.


From the Back Cover

A Well-Made Fence Brings Peace of Mind

If you keep livestock or tend a garden that's vulnerable to wildlife predators, you know that a good fence is essential for protecting your investment. But with all of the new options available today -- and the many challenges posed by terrain, weather, and predators -- it's often hard to determine what type of fence meets your needs. That's why Gail Damerow has written this practical, easy-to-use guide to selecting, planning, and building fences that work.

Filled with sound, up-to-date advice and instruction, Fences for Pasture & Garden makes fence-building a task anyone can tackle with confidence. The author weighs the pros and cons of various fence systems -- from traditional fences to the latest technology -- and helps you select the best one for your needs. Helpful suggestions for planning the fence ensure maximum efficiency of labor and materials. And complete, generously illustrated directions show you how to build wire fences, rail fences, electric fences, high-tension fences, temporary fences, woven fences, snow fences, gates, trellises, and more.

From alarm systems to zoning laws, this book covers it all. If there's a fence in your future, don't waste time and money on an ineffective system. Make it one you can rely on by first reading Fences for Pasture & Garden.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are fencing this is the book you need!, August 23, 1999
By Gene Pope "gene" (Trout Creek, MT USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I was new to small scale farming and found that there was very little practical advice about the right way to build various fences other than learning on the job, from friends and neighbors and such. I then found this book and it told me everything I needed to know from how to choose the right kind of fence to how deep to drive a t-post. I now have a lot of sturdy fences that should last a very long time. (by the way, drop by your local farm store and get a copy of the Galagher fencing manual if you plan on doing electric fences. Lots of good info there too).

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Basics, January 16, 2007
We looked at the Fence Bible and a Guide to Stock Fencing. This book was better than both of them. It offers good basic fence building skills, expecially for building fences for livestock. Not a book for "pretty" urban fences.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book filled with great examples, January 1, 2006
By L. Richards (Youngsville, NC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was very impressed that this book went into so much detail about fencing. We are at the beginning stages of fencing in over 8,000 feet of fenceline and this book offered many wonderful suggestions that we had not thought of and will definately put to use now that we know better! Thank you so much for putting together such a great book for those who aren't very fence educated!
