Liberi Fence installs farm perimeter, horse, ranch-rail, livestock and deer fencing across South Jersey's seven counties, and sells the same materials with free delivery within 200 miles of our Turnersville shop for owners who set their own posts. We are a third-generation, family-owned South Jersey fence company, and agricultural work is a large part of what we do: long runs on open ground, braced corners, wide equipment gates and fences built around the animal on the other side of them.
In South Jersey, Liberi Fence installs agricultural, farm and equine fencing in Salem, Cumberland, Gloucester, Atlantic, Camden, Burlington and Cape May counties. Our crews work out of Turnersville, which puts the horse farms around Mullica Hill, Harrison Township, Woodstown and Pilesgrove, the vegetable and grain farms of Upper Deerfield and Pittsgrove, and the nurseries and orchards of Hammonton and Monroe Township on the same routes. Outside those seven counties we do not install, but we do deliver posts, rails, wire and gates free within 200 miles, which covers all of New Jersey.
When you compare farm fence contractors, ask three questions: how they brace corners and gates, how deep they set posts in your soil, and whether they will tell you when a cheaper fence does the job. A pasture perimeter that only needs to hold cattle does not need four-rail board, and a horse paddock should never be barbed wire. We answer those questions in writing on the estimate.
The right agricultural fence is the one that matches the animal's behavior, the length of the run and how often you are willing to maintain it.
| Use | Fence we usually recommend | Typical height | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Horses (paddock, pasture) | 3- or 4-rail post-and-rail in wood or Illusions vinyl; high-tensile with a visible top rail on long runs | 48 to 60 in. | Horses need to see the fence; rails do not catch legs the way wire can |
| Cattle | Woven wire or 5-strand high-tensile on treated posts | 48 to 54 in. | Strength comes from braced corners and tension, not post count |
| Goats and sheep | Woven wire with openings of 4 in. or smaller | 48 in. | Small openings stop heads from getting stuck through the fence |
| Crop fields, orchards, nurseries | Fixed-knot or polypropylene deer fence | 7.5 to 8 ft | Deer clear anything under about 6 ft |
| Boundary and road frontage | 2- or 3-rail post-and-rail, or split rail | 36 to 48 in. | Marks the line and keeps sightlines open at driveways |
| Equipment access | 12 to 16 ft tube gates on oversized posts | Matches the fence | Wide enough for tractors; heavier posts stop gate sag |
A good horse fence is tall enough that the horse will not test it, visible enough that it will not run into it, and free of anything that can trap a hoof. Post-and-rail meets all three. Three rails at about 48 inches is the common paddock standard; larger or more athletic horses and road-frontage lines usually get a fourth rail at 54 to 60 inches.
Wood post-and-rail is pressure-treated southern yellow pine or western red cedar. Pine is the lower-cost choice; cedar costs more and weathers to silver-gray unless sealed. Both need rails replaced as they check and split over time. We are an authorized dealer for Illusions Vinyl Fence, whose post-and-rail line gives the ranch look with no painting. Vinyl rails flex on impact by design, so where horses lean or crib we pair them with a strand of electric tape.
A farm perimeter fence is measured in thousands of feet, so the run length, the number of corners and the number of gates set the budget far more than the acreage does. We walk the line, count every corner and gate, and price the braced assemblies separately from the straight runs so you can see where the money goes.
If your property qualifies as a commercial farm under New Jersey's Right to Farm Act, which generally means 5 or more acres producing at least $2,500 a year in agricultural products and eligible for farmland assessment, agricultural fencing is treated as a normal farm practice, and the County Agriculture Development Board handles disputes. Rutgers explains the act in plain language in Fact Sheet FS1253. Parcels that do not qualify follow the township's residential fence ordinance, which usually sets different height and setback limits. We confirm which rule applies to your parcel before we quote, and we call NJ One Call (811) before any post hole is dug.

Get a free estimatePost-and-rail, in wood or vinyl, at 48 to 60 inches with three or four rails. It is visible, it has no wire to catch a leg, and it is tall enough that most horses will not test it. On very long pasture runs, high-tensile wire with a visible top rail or sight tape is a lower-cost alternative.
Farm fence is priced per linear foot plus each corner brace and gate, so we quote after measuring the run on site rather than publishing a per-foot or per-acre price. Our NJ fence cost guide explains what moves the number.
It depends on the township and on whether the property qualifies as a commercial farm under the Right to Farm Act. Qualifying farms are often treated differently from residential lots. We check with the township before quoting.
7.5 to 8 feet. Deer will clear most fences under about 6 feet, so a standard livestock fence will not protect a crop field, orchard or nursery.
Yes. We sell posts, rails, wire, gates and hardware for pickup or delivery, free within 200 miles of Turnersville. In-stock items typically deliver in 2 to 5 business days in South Jersey; special orders take longer. See our DIY fence materials.
