Location: Missouri | Does anyone have this fencing? Love/hate? Does it hold up and stay as nice as it looks in pictures, or does it tend to sag?
We have a small place (5 acres) and currently working on reworking some of our pastures so things make more sense (our place was a goat farm a few yes before we bought it...so the turn ours were tiny). We're wanting to put in all new fencing, bit by bit, and we want something that's functional and also very clean looking. Vinyl is too expensive and out of the question. We had vinyl at our rental house and hated it. It was several yrs old and had begun to crack in places....anyway.
Any input on this product is appreciated! Or any other suggestions on nice looking fencing for smaller properties. We're hoping to buy an additional 2-4 acres from our neighbor....but that's still in the works. If we did get the additional land, we'd probably use the flex fence there, also.
TIA! | |

| My daughter put in the flex fence on the top ( I think the 5.25") and coated wire (4 wires I think) on the bottom for her horses. We helped her install it and thought it was easy to install. She also went through a creek bottom, which flooded one year, but didn't have any effect on the fence. They recommend to use the dry-crete (concrete) on the corner posts since there is so much pressure when you tighten the fence. She had a mare jump the fence one year and we were glad that we had the Ramm fence or she probably would have been cut and hurt bad.
I installed 5 wires of the coated wire for my horse pasture, which also is for cow/calf pairs in the early spring. We love the fence and it looks great. We both have had it probably 5 years now. We don't regret putting it in at all!!! We have had tree branches fall on the fence and it never broke, the staples just came out. We cut the branches off and tighten up the fence a bit and was good as new.
Also, the customer service people are really good to help you out with your plan and what you will need. The fence has not faded or cracked. I think they have a 25 or 30 year guarantee on the fence - not sure, but they do guarantee the fence. You mentioned the fence sagging, it does not sag at all, but I do remember that we had to re-tighten the fence after the first year, which they said is normal. We haven't had to touch it after that.
I think that you will be happy with it.....Good Luck!!! | |

Location: Missouri | Thanks a bunch! We've also considered doing just the perimeter of our property in flex fence then everything else with one rail of flex fence and the coated wires, like you mentioned! Good to know the fence has a good warranty and holds up! | |
