Does Northbound Fences build farm and horse fences in Folsom?
Yes. Northbound Fences builds board fences, 3-board rail with wire mesh backing, ranch rail, pasture and barb-wire fencing, deer fencing and livestock gates around Folsom. The fence line is walked with you before the first post hole is dug.
Folsom is a small village in the northern part of St. Tammany Parish where LA-25 and LA-40 meet, and it is known as horse country. The land around it rolls gently through pine woods and open pasture, broken up by horse farms, cattle, tree farms and the plant nurseries that line the highways. The Global Wildlife Center, a large drive-through wildlife preserve, sits along LA-40 just outside the village.
Fencing on this kind of property is measured in hundreds or thousands of feet, not a single backyard. A Folsom job might mean a board fence around a riding arena, cross-fencing to split a pasture, a deer fence around a garden, and a wide pipe or wood gate the hay trailer can swing through. Northbound Fences puts every part of the job in a transparent written quote, and the price quoted is the price you pay.
The house still needs fencing too. Many Folsom owners want a picket or wood privacy fence to keep dogs close to the house and away from the livestock, with the farm fence starting where the yard ends.
Folsom fences
Which fences suit Folsom horse and farm property?
Ranch rail and pasture wire
For long cattle and goat runs where board fencing on every foot is more fence than you need. See farm & ranch fencing.
Deer fencing
Tall fencing around gardens, orchards and growing beds, which matters in wooded country where deer come out of the pines every evening.
Farm and driveway gates
Pipe, wire and wood livestock gates and wide driveway gates sized for trucks and trailers. See gate installation.
Land & layout
How does Northbound Fences plan a fence on Folsom acreage?
Northbound Fences starts every Folsom farm job by walking the line with the owner. A few things always get settled on that walk.
- Where the animals go. Horses, cattle and goats test fences differently. Board spacing, wire type and height follow the animal, not a stock plan.
- Gates and traffic. Gate locations are set by how tractors, trailers and feed trucks actually move through the property, with room to swing wide.
- Grade and wet spots. Rolling pine land dips into drains and low pasture corners that stay soggy. The line is adjusted so posts in those spots stay solid.
- Tree lines. Fence runs along the woods are laid out to keep falling limbs and roots from taking out sections.

Folsom FAQ
What do Folsom landowners ask about fencing?
What fence is best for horses in Folsom?
For Folsom horse pastures, Northbound Fences usually recommends a 3-board wood rail fence with wire mesh backing: the boards give horses a visible barrier and the mesh keeps hooves, foals and dogs from going through. Ranch rail and pasture wire are options for larger fields. See farm & ranch fencing.
Can Northbound Fences build a deer fence around a Folsom garden or nursery bed?
Yes. Northbound Fences builds deer fencing around gardens, orchards and planting beds in the Folsom area, and can pair it with a walk-through or equipment gate so the tractor still gets in.
Do I need a permit to fence acreage near Folsom?
Property inside the Village of Folsom follows the village’s rules, and land outside it falls under St. Tammany Parish. Farm fencing and residential fencing can be treated differently. Northbound Fences checks requirements for your parcel and pulls permits when they are required. See the St. Tammany permit guide.
