Our experienced installation team creates custom horse fence solutions that stand strong against Hawaii’s weather challenges while looking good for years. Big Island Fence & Gate combines traditional skills with modern methods to provide horse fencing that fits your property’s needs and the island’s landscape.
Weather-Resistant Material Selection for Equine Safety
The Big Island’s varied climates require careful material selection and treatment for horse fences. Our team evaluates elements like coastal salt exposure, humidity levels, and rain patterns specific to your site. We suggest high-quality materials treated to resist moisture, UV damage, and insect problems common in Hawaii’s environment. Materials are selected to be visible to horses and minimize injury risk.
Custom Design Process for Horse Enclosures
Every horse fence project starts with a detailed site review and design discussion. We measure your property boundaries, check soil conditions, and talk about your specific needs, including horse breed, fence height, material, and gate placement. Our design team creates detailed plans that focus on horse safety and effective containment, while also fitting in with your property’s appearance.
Our Horse Fence Installation Process
Big Island Fence & Gate follows a careful process for every horse fence installation:
- Site Preparation – We mark utility lines, clear plants, and prepare the area for installation.

- Gate Installation – Gates are set up with strong hinges and latches, allowing easy, secure access.
- Finishing Work – All connections are checked, and a final review of the fence line is done.
Quality Materials and Hardware for Horse Fences
We use superior materials chosen specifically for equine safety and Big Island conditions. Our hardware selection includes strong fasteners, galvanized brackets, and rust-resistant hinges that maintain integrity even with salt air. Every part gets protective treatment before installation.

Types of Horse Fences We Install
Wood Post and Rail Fencing
Wood post and rail offers a classic and visible choice for Big Island horse properties. This strong material can be treated to resist insects and moisture. Wood fencing can be painted or stained to match your property’s look. Our wood post and rail installations are designed with horse safety and visibility in mind.
High-Tensile Wire Fencing
High-tensile wire provides a cost-effective and secure option for containing horses. This durable wire is designed to withstand impact and maintain tension, reducing the risk of entanglement. It can be electrified for added security and to discourage leaning on the fence.
Mesh Wire Fencing
Woven wire mesh fencing is a safe choice for horses, especially for containing foals or smaller breeds. The small openings in the mesh prevent horses from getting their legs caught, while the strong construction offers lasting containment. It is often combined with a top rail for added visibility.
Vinyl Horse Fencing
Vinyl offers a low-maintenance option for horse fences on the Big Island. This strong material resists fading, warping, and insect damage. Vinyl horse fences come in various styles, providing a clean and consistent appearance for your property. The smooth surface helps prevent injuries.

Potential buyers recognize the value of professionally installed horse fencing, particularly when using strong materials and skilled work.
Horse Safety and Containment
A well-built horse fence is important for the safety and well-being of your animals. It helps prevent escapes and protects horses from outside dangers. The right design and materials reduce the risk of injuries caused by leaning, rubbing, or attempting to go through the fence.
Durable and Long-Lasting Protection

We select materials and use methods that provide lasting protection against weather, wear from animals, and common Big Island challenges. This results in a fence that offers reliable containment for many years.
Improved Pasture Management
Proper fencing allows for effective pasture rotation, which helps maintain healthy grazing areas and prevents overgrazing. It allows you to divide pastures for different groups of horses or resting sections of your land.
Versatile Design Options
Horse fencing offers many customization possibilities to fit your property’s style and your horses’ needs. Material choices, heights, and gate designs can be adapted. Custom designs provide unique looks and functional elements that match your farm’s appearance.
Horse Fence Maintenance Requirements
Annual Inspection Schedule
The Big Island’s climate needs regular horse fence maintenance to help it last and look good. Annual inspections help find problems early, before they become expensive.
