Sheep Fencing Installation
Protecting your flock, your land, and your livelihood. For dependable sheep fence installation, trust Bomann Fencing. We build strong, secure fencing systems that keep sheep safely contained and predators out. With more than 50 years of fencing experience across Florida, Alabama, and Georgia, our team understands what it takes to build fences that stand up to Southern weather and working farm conditions.
6 Proven Advantages of Bomann-Built Sheep Fencing
Keeping sheep secure requires the right materials, proper spacing, and experienced installation. At Bomann Fencing, we design every system around your land, your flock, and your long-term goals. Here’s why sheep farmers across the tri-state region choose us for quality that lasts.
Designed for Flock Safety and Control
Our fences use tight wire spacing to prevent lambs from slipping through and adults from pushing out. The mesh design is smooth and safe for wool, preventing snagging and cuts. Every installation balances containment, airflow, and visibility.
Built to Keep Predators Out
Coyotes, stray dogs, and foxes are constant threats to sheep operations. We use wire configurations and fence heights proven to stop these predators cold. Add-ons like buried skirts or electric strands provide extra peace of mind for rural properties.
Installed by Experienced Agricultural Crews
We’ve spent decades building fences for working farms across the South. Our team knows how to brace corners, tension woven wire properly, and adapt to rolling or uneven ground. You get craftsmanship that holds tight year after year.
Materials Rated for Southern Weather
From Florida humidity to Alabama clay, we use only galvanized and treated materials built to last. Heavy-duty woven wire and treated posts withstand decades of exposure without rusting, rotting, or sagging.
Honest Estimates and Tailored Solutions
We inspect your land, assess predator risks, and recommend what truly works — not just what’s easiest to sell. You get a clear written estimate upfront, with no surprises. Every fence we build reflects real-world farm experience.
Local, Licensed, and Family-Owned
Bomann Fencing is a name farmers have trusted for generations. We’re licensed, insured, and locally operated — always standing behind our work. When you call, you talk directly to the people who build your fence.
How Strong Fencing Keeps Your Sheep and Farm Secure
A solid fence doesn’t just protect sheep — it protects your investment, your land, and your time. Weak fences lead to escapes, injuries, and predator losses. A strong, professionally built fence pays for itself through peace of mind and long-term reliability.
Prevents Escapes and Lost Livestock
Sheep can slip through loose or oversized mesh. Our systems are tensioned and anchored properly, preventing gaps or sagging that lead to escapes. You’ll spend less time fixing fences and more time managing your flock.
Protects Against Coyotes and Dogs
Predator-proof fencing saves lives. We build fences with smaller openings and proper height to stop climbing and digging. Optional electric lines provide a safe deterrent without harming your animals.
Promotes Healthier Pastures
Strong fencing lets you rotate flocks across paddocks efficiently. Controlled grazing improves grass recovery, reduces parasites, and keeps forage in better condition year-round. Good fences make good land management possible.
Reduces Maintenance and Repair Costs
Heavy-duty materials and correct installation prevent the sagging, bending, and leaning common with cheaper wire. Your fence stays upright and secure through storms and pressure — saving you from constant repair expenses.
Increases Property and Farm Value
A well-fenced property looks professional and organized. Buyers and neighbors notice when fencing is done right. Investing in quality fencing improves both functionality and long-term value.
Gives You Confidence Every Day
When your flock is secure, you can focus on operations instead of chasing problems. A properly installed fence gives peace of mind knowing your animals are safe 24/7. It’s the foundation of a smooth-running farm.
Types of Sheep Fencing We Install
We offer fencing systems tailored for sheep operations of any size — from small family flocks to large-scale production farms.
- Woven Wire Sheep Fence – Our most recommended option, with 6-inch or smaller spacing to prevent escapes and protect lambs. Durable and predator-resistant.
- High-Tensile Woven Wire – Long-lasting, flexible fencing ideal for large acreage. Holds tension through seasonal weather changes.
- Electric Sheep Fence – Effective for rotational grazing and added predator control. Can be combined with woven wire for dual protection.
- Field Fence Systems – Cost-effective and reliable for general pasture use when paired with strong corner bracing.
- Combination Fence (Wire + Electric) – Adds low-voltage lines to woven wire to stop digging or rubbing.
- Portable Sheep Fencing – Great for temporary paddocks or rotational setups using lightweight, movable electric netting.
Layout and Design Options
Each farm requires a different setup depending on flock size, terrain, and grazing methods. Our team designs layouts that make managing sheep easier and more efficient.
- Perimeter Fencing: Defines boundaries and prevents predator access.
- Cross-Fencing: Divides fields for rotational grazing and pasture recovery.
- Holding Pens: Secure enclosures for shearing, sorting, or lambing.
- Predator Exclusion Zones: Reinforced fencing near forest edges or known coyote routes.
- Access Gates: Safe, wide gates built for easy movement and handling of livestock and equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What’s the best fence for sheep?
Woven wire with 6-inch or smaller openings is best for containment and predator protection. For extra security, add an electric strand along the top or bottom.
How tall should a sheep fence be?
Most sheep fences are 42 to 48 inches tall. Taller fencing may be needed in predator-prone areas or mixed livestock operations.
Can I add electric lines to a sheep fence?
Yes. We often add electric strands above or below woven wire to stop climbing, rubbing, or digging. It’s a safe and effective deterrent.
What’s the average lifespan of a sheep fence?
With professional installation, your fence can last 20–25 years or more. Quality materials and regular maintenance make a big difference.
Do sheep need different fencing than goats?
Yes. Sheep require smaller mesh openings and lower fence height since they don’t climb like goats. However, predator protection is equally important.
Does Bomann Fencing provide free estimates?
Yes. We offer on-site consultations and written quotes so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.
