What is woven wire fencing?

Woven wire fencing uses a wood frame with mesh panels stretched between posts and rails, then trimmed with cedar or redwood caps and boards for a finished look. The mesh contains pets and defines the yard while keeping sight lines open across the property. It is a common choice on rural-adjacent lots, acreage boundaries, and backyards where a solid privacy wall would feel too closed in.

How is woven wire fencing different from chain link?

Chain link uses galvanized or vinyl-coated steel mesh on steel posts and rails with an industrial profile. Woven wire fencing pairs mesh panels with a wood frame, cedar cap, and trim boards so the line reads as a custom wood fence from the street while the mesh does the containment work. Both are open-view options; woven wire fits homeowners who want wood character and a cleaner cap line without blocking the landscape.

What height works for dogs on a woven wire fence?

Most residential woven wire runs are 4 or 5 feet tall depending on breed and jump drive. Mesh gauge and bottom rail or tension wire help keep dogs from pushing under the panel. We review your dogs, gate paths, and whether you need tighter spacing on part of the run before recommending height and frame layout.

Can woven wire fence tie into wood privacy fencing?

Yes. Many NWA projects use woven wire along a side or rear line and transition to cedar privacy fencing near the house or at a gate entry. We plan post placement, cap heights, and hardware so the tie-in is structurally sound and the change in style looks intentional rather than patched together.

Is cedar or redwood better for the wood frame?

Pressure-treated pine posts and rails with cedar trim and cap boards are the standard practical build across NWA. Redwood frames with black mesh panels are available when you want a premium open-view line with richer color and longer service life on exposed boards. Steel posts are worth considering on any woven wire run where dogs lean or gates see daily traffic.

Can you add woven wire mesh behind split rail?

Yes. Split rail with wire mesh backing is a related layout for acreage and pasture edges where you want a rustic rail line with added containment. Standalone woven wire with a full wood frame and cap gives a more finished residential appearance when the fence is visible from the house or driveway.

How long does woven wire fence installation take?

Most residential woven wire projects are completed within a week once work begins, depending on linear footage, gate count, and terrain. Scheduling typically runs about two to three weeks from your approved quote. We confirm timing after walking the layout and reviewing frame, mesh, and gate details on site.

Why choose woven wire fencing?

Woven wire fencing solves a specific problem: you need a secure boundary and pet containment, but a solid privacy wall would block your favorite views. A wood frame with mesh panels defines the yard clearly while keeping sight lines open across fields, woods, and neighboring acreage. That makes it a strong fit on rural-adjacent lots, larger backyards, and properties where you want security without a visual wall.

The finished look comes from the wood, not the mesh. Pressure-treated pine or redwood posts and rails carry cedar or redwood cap boards and trim so the fence reads as a custom wood line from the driveway. Galvanized or black woven mesh does the containment work behind that frame. We size height, mesh gauge, and gate layout after learning how you use the yard and where you need daily access.

Recent Woven Wire Projects

Material and post options

Woven wire fences combine a wood frame, mesh panels, and cap boards into one coherent line. Your choices for frame species, mesh color, and post type determine how the fence performs for pets, acreage boundaries, and daily gate use.

Wood frame and cedar cap

Pressure-treated pine posts and rails with cedar trim and a 2x6 cap board give woven wire a finished residential profile. Redwood frames are available for premium open-view lines with richer color and longer life on exposed boards. Horizontal accent bands can add definition at corners or gate entries without switching to solid privacy panels.

Woven wire mesh

Woven mesh panels stretch between frame members and are secured with trim boards for a clean edge. Black mesh recedes visually compared to galvanized-only fabric, which helps the fence feel less industrial from the house. Mesh height and gauge are sized for your containment goals, whether that is backyard dogs, a dedicated run, or a longer property line.

Steel posts and gate frames

Daily gate use and dogs leaning on the same post line wear down wood posts faster than mesh panels. Steel posts and internal metal gate frames keep wide openings and mesh-panel gates square through seasons of heavy traffic. Black metal hardware complements black mesh and stained wood caps on open-view enclosures.

Gates built to match your fence

Our gates are custom built to match your fence, not a separate piece tacked on at the end.

Standard swinging gates. Single and double gates with pickets aligned to the fence run, plus hardware chosen for daily use and security needs.

Custom wood gates. Built to your width and height, including stepped pickets when grade changes between yards and customizable metal hardware to complement your wood finishes.

Metal gate frame options. A steel frame gate prevents sagging over time, prolonging the life of your gate. This pairs well with steel hinge posts.

What to expect on your project

We start with a free quote and walk your layout to confirm frame species, mesh height, cap details, and gate locations before materials are ordered.

Once we begin work on site, most residential woven wire projects are installed within a week. Longer runs, tie-ins to existing fencing, or multiple gates may extend that timeline slightly.

Current scheduling usually runs about two to three weeks from approval to start, depending on season and linear footage. We keep communication direct so you know when we are on site.

What homeowners say about our work

"Landscape Earth Fence created beautiful custom fences for my garden and my dogs. It's gorgeous and very well built. Their crew was very professional and finished the job in just a few days. Highly recommended!"

— Lily L.

"Great communications with the owner; willingness to customize our fence. High quality materials, including hidden metal posts; the crew showed up as scheduled and completed the job quickly; they cleaned up the job site, and did a great job building a small custom fence for our gravel dog yard, just based off of a couple of online pictures. We are planning on having Landscape Earth Fence redo the other two sides of our backyard fence, to correct poor materials and construction methods from a previous contractor."

— Pete C.

"We had an incredible experience working with Landscape Earth Fence! All my questions were answered very quickly and thoroughly. They had our whole fence done in 2 days. Also very happy we went with the metal gate frame. It's extremely sturdy and I think will save lots of maintenance in the future! Clint was extremely helpful, was always available and easy to get on the phone to discuss details of the project!"

— Chris B.
