Does Northbound Fences build farm fences in Independence?
Yes. Farm, pasture and garden fencing is a core Northbound Fences service, and it fits Independence well. The crew builds wire, board, barb-wire and deer fencing, ranch rail and farm gates, and also installs wood, vinyl and chain link fences for homes in town.
Independence is a small town on US-51 with its own I-55 exit, a short drive north of Hammond, just past Tickfaw. It was settled in large part by Sicilian and other Italian immigrant families who came to grow strawberries and vegetables, and that heritage is still celebrated every year at the town’s Italian festival. Strawberry and vegetable farms still ring the town today.
That farming history is why fence work in Independence looks different from a subdivision job. Lots are bigger, fields and gardens need protection from deer and loose animals, and gates have to open wide enough for a tractor or a truck and trailer. When someone searches for farm fencing near me in Independence, they usually need a long run of wire or board fence and at least one heavy gate, not a backyard panel fence.
Closer to the center of town, homeowners still ask for the familiar options: a wood privacy fence for the backyard, a picket fence out front, or chain link to keep a dog home.

Fields & fence lines
What matters most on rural land around Independence?
For a farm fence near Independence, Northbound Fences focuses on three things at the estimate walk.
- The animals or crops inside. Goats test a fence differently than cattle or horses, and deer need height. The fence type follows from what you are keeping in or out.
- Wet edges. Field edges and ground near the Tangipahoa River bottoms can stay soft after rain. Treated posts and careful setting keep long runs straight.
- Where equipment passes. Gate width and placement are planned around the tractor, the trailer and the way you actually move through the property.

Independence FAQ
What do Independence landowners ask about fencing?
What fence keeps deer out of a vegetable garden in Independence?
Height matters most, because deer jump low fences. Northbound Fences builds deer fencing and welded wire garden fences for farms and home gardens, sized to the plot and fitted with a gate you can drive a tiller or small tractor through. See farm & ranch fencing.
Can one gate handle a tractor and livestock?
Yes, if it is built for both. For pasture and farm lots around Independence, the crew hangs wide pipe, wire or wood farm gates on heavy posts with hardware sized for the weight, so the gate swings clear for equipment and closes tight for animals. See gate installation.

No. Independence is inside the roughly 50-mile radius Northbound Fences covers from Covington, and Tangipahoa Parish is one of its core service parishes. Call (985) 630-4452 to set up a free estimate.
