Fencing in Calhoun, LA.

Calhoun is the crossroads west of town, where US 80 and LA 151 meet. The I-20 exits are right there. The shop is on the West Monroe side of the river, at 205 Mane St, Ste C. Calhoun is on that same side, so we don't cross the Ouachita to get there. A five-acre line and a back yard are different jobs, and we do both. When you call, say if the gate is on US 80, on a parish road off it, or at the end of a long drive.

A line around the house is one job. A line across the pasture is another. Around the house, people want wood or vinyl privacy, or chain link if they need to keep a dog in and still see the yard. Out in the field it's split rail or farm fence. Two rails mark a boundary. Three rails hold bigger animals better, because if they can get a head through, they'll try. Corners and gate posts take the strain when something leans on the fence. Tell us what each stretch is for. A pretty rail fence won't hold cattle. A solid privacy fence stretched across a pasture just catches wind.

This isn't a flat subdivision pad. A line that crosses a low spot or a ditch will leave a gap at the bottom if you don't plan for it. Wet ground after a rain needs a different post hole than a firm rise, and a lot of Calhoun places have both in one run. If the gate has to fit a tractor or a trailer, measure that before we set the posts. Extra width is cheap now. Moving a post later isn't. Aluminum works up by the road when you want a line you can see through and you don't want to paint iron.

We're the Ouachita Parish crew out of West Monroe, and we fence Calhoun. Estimates are free. Houses, shops, and the farm fences out here. Call (318) 351-2539. We'll walk the line and get a quote back to you fast. If a neighbor's fence is already standing on one side, tell us if we're tying to it or leaving it alone.

Calhoun isn't inside Monroe or West Monroe, so those city permit pages don't cover the yard. Unincorporated Ouachita has its own rules, including the ditch along a public road. Start with the parish guide on this site, then check with the parish office. If you're not sure which side of a city limit the drive sits on, say so when you call. We'll help you sort it before anybody digs.
