Farm Fence Installation in Walters, OK
Lawton Farm Fence installs field fence and woven wire, barbed wire, high-tensile smooth wire, pipe corrals, board fence, and farm gates in Walters, Oklahoma. We are licensed and insured in Oklahoma and we serve Cotton County as a home county, not an outer edge.
Walters is the Cotton County seat, and Cotton County was cut out of the south end of Comanche County back in 1912. The line moved. The farm ground did not. South of the Wichitas the mountains give way to crop and pasture, and the dirt turns to the red, iron-heavy clay that runs down toward the Red River.
That clay is honest ground to fence. It augers clean and it tamps back hard, which is exactly what a wood post wants. We backfill in lifts and pack each one, so the post grips the full column of soil instead of a plug of concrete. Concrete poured around a treated post holds water at the collar and rots it from the middle out. Posts rot at the ground line where air and water meet, never at the tip.
Clay does move with the seasons, though. It swells in a wet spring and shrinks in August, and a shallow post walks up out of it. Corner and brace posts go three and a half to four feet down here, deeper in the low wet spots. Line posts for woven and barbed wire run twelve to sixteen feet apart, closer on rolling ground.
We use ground contact treated posts and Stay-Tuff fixed knot woven wire where cattle crowd a fence, because a fixed knot cannot slip out of square.
