Fence & Gate Company in New Waverly, TX

Texas Rural Fence, Inc. builds and repairs fences and gates in New Waverly, a small town in Walker County on the western edge of the Lake Livingston area, near Huntsville and the Sam Houston National Forest. We're based in Onalaska at 215 FM 356, and we'll be upfront about geography: New Waverly is Walker County, not Polk or San Jacinto, and it sits at the far western reach of where we work — a bit further from our home base than the towns right on the lake. We still serve it, and travel distance is simply something we talk through openly during the free estimate so there are no surprises. The upside is that New Waverly is exactly our kind of country: rural, wooded, and full of the acreage and boundary fencing we specialize in.

Fencing for the piney woods and forest edge

New Waverly's character is timber — rolling piney woods that run right up against the Sam Houston National Forest. That wooded setting shapes the fencing. Tree cover means limbs come down in storms and roots and shade affect a fence line, so clearing and layout matter. Wildlife pressure is real this close to the forest, which is why a lot of properties want fencing that keeps deer and other animals out of gardens or contained areas. And the same woods that make the place beautiful make a clean, well-built fence line stand out. We build to the land as it actually is, wooded and uneven, rather than assuming a flat, open lot.

Farm and ranch fencing on New Waverly acreage

A great deal of New Waverly is rural acreage and small ranches, and farm and ranch fencing is the core of what we build here. That means field fence for containing cattle, horses, or goats; barbed wire for economical perimeter and boundary runs; and cattle panel or hog panel for pens and working areas near the barn. Feral hogs are a genuine issue in this part of Walker County, and sturdy panel or net fencing is often part of the answer for protecting a garden or a specific tract. We match the fence to what's actually being contained or kept out.

Boundary fencing for wooded tracts

Marking and holding a property line matters on wooded acreage, where the boundary isn't always obvious under the tree cover. We run barbed wire and field fence boundary lines on properly braced corner and line posts, and for a property line that also looks finished, a cross-buck or cedar split-rail fence gives wooded acreage a clean, traditional Texas look. On any long run, the corner and brace assemblies are what keep the line tight over the years, so that's where the care goes. Where a line needs simple, economical posts, T-post fencing carries the wire once the corners are set solid.

Gates for driveways and pastures

Wooded properties often sit back off the road down a long drive, which is a natural place for a driveway gate for privacy and security. We also build and hang farm and pasture gates sized for equipment and livestock, and walk gates for everyday access, plus automatic gate openers so you don't have to leave the vehicle at the entrance. Gates on rural land take real use, so we brace and hang them to swing true and keep swinging.

Residential and garden fencing in New Waverly

New Waverly has small-town and residential properties too, and we build for those just the same. That includes wood fencing such as privacy fence for a yard or picket for a more open look, chain-link for practical containment and dog runs, and garden fencing to keep deer and hogs out of a vegetable plot — a real need this close to the national forest. If your place is a home with some land around it, we can fence the yard and the acreage in one visit.

Fence repair in New Waverly

Fences in timber country take their share of damage — a limb comes down and crushes a section, wire gets pushed loose, a corner post rots, or a gate starts to drag. We repair fences no matter who originally built them, and we'll tell you honestly whether a section repair makes sense or a run has reached the point where rebuilding is the better call. Because New Waverly is at the western edge of our area, we'll be straight during the estimate about scheduling and travel so a repair is worth the trip for both of us.

Materials that hold up in timber country

This part of Walker County gets hot, humid summers and heavy seasonal rain, and wooded acreage adds its own wear — shade and damp that are hard on wood, livestock leaning on wire, and soil that shifts through wet and dry cycles. For wood, cedar resists rot naturally and holds up well over the years, while pressure-treated pine is a lower-cost option that performs well when it's set and finished right — worth noting where shade keeps a fence line damp. For wire, gauge and coating decide how long it stands up to weather and animals. But the thing that most determines a fence's lifespan is post setting: proper depth, solid bracing, and corners built to carry tension. That's the part we don't shortcut to make a number look better.

Why a local, insured fence company still makes sense out here

Even at the western edge of our area, there's an advantage to a crew that knows this region — the piney-woods terrain, the wildlife pressure near the forest, and the way rural Walker County tracts tend to lay out. We're insured, locally owned and operated, and run by the same people who build the fences and stand behind them. Fence contracting in Texas doesn't require a state license, so we're not licensed — but we carry insurance and we do the work ourselves. And because we're honest about being based over in Onalaska, we'll always talk through the travel distance to New Waverly upfront rather than surprise you with it.

Frequently asked questions

Do you really serve New Waverly, even though it's in Walker County?

Yes. New Waverly is on the western edge of our service area, further from our Onalaska home base than the lake towns, but we serve it. We just talk through travel distance openly during the free estimate.

What kind of fencing do you build in New Waverly?

Mostly farm, ranch, and boundary fencing for wooded acreage — field fence, barbed wire, cross-buck, and cattle or hog panel — plus residential wood, chain-link, garden fencing, and gates for small-town and home properties.

Can you build fencing that keeps deer and hogs out?

Yes — that's a common need this close to the Sam Houston National Forest. Sturdy field, panel, or garden fencing built to the right height is how we help keep deer and feral hogs off a garden or a contained area.

Does the extra distance change the cost?

We'll go over any travel considerations during the free on-site estimate, upfront and before any work starts. New Waverly is further out for us, and we'd rather be honest about that than surprise you later.
