Fence & gate builders on Lake Livingston since 2005

Texas Rural Fence, Inc. is a locally owned fence and gate contractor based in Onalaska, Texas. For 21 years we've built and repaired fences and gates for homes, farms, and ranches across the Lake Livingston area — everything from a backyard wood privacy fence to miles of field fence on working acreage. We're an insured, family-run operation, which means the same people who own the business are the ones on the job site standing behind the work.

Because we're a rural fence company by name and by focus, we handle the full range of what properties out here actually need. A lakefront home might want an ornamental metal fence out front and a wood privacy fence in back; a ranch might need a barbed wire perimeter, cattle panels for a corral, and a cross-buck fence at the entrance. We build all of it — and we repair fences other contractors built when a section fails, a post rots out, or a gate starts to sag.

How we work

Free, on-site estimates. We'd rather walk a property and understand what it actually needs than quote a price over the phone without seeing the site. Terrain, access, gates, and total footage all affect the real number, so an on-site look is how we give a price we can stand behind.

Insured, and straight about it. Fence contracting doesn't require a state license in Texas, so we don't claim one. We carry insurance on our work — that's the credential that actually applies to this trade, and we'd rather be upfront than imply something that doesn't exist.

New construction and repair. A good share of our work, especially on farm and ranch fence, is repairing or extending fence lines other contractors originally built. We take repair work as seriously as a new build, and we're happy to assess an existing fence regardless of who installed it.

Real work, real photos. Every photo on this site is from an actual job we've done — our crews, our fences, our gates. We'd rather show real work, even when it isn't a polished marketing shot, than use stock images that don't represent what you'll actually get.

Built for this area. We build for the conditions right around Lake Livingston — the soil, the humidity, and the way lakefront and rural acreage differ from a standard subdivision lot. Proper post depth and bracing aren't where we cut corners, because that's what keeps a fence standing years down the road.
