Predator Aprons for Dig-Proof Game Fencing

Keep predators from breaching your fence line with professionally installed predator aprons. A predator apron is a welded or woven wire mesh barrier that extends outward at the base of your high game fence to stop animals like wild hogs, coyotes, and foxes from digging underneath.

At Texas Ranch Resources, we install heavy-duty predator apron fencing throughout Texas ranchland. Our team secures the mesh to the bottom of your game fence then buries or anchors it to create a seamless, dig-proof perimeter.

Predator aprons are ideal for high-fence game ranches, exotic game enclosures, and deer breeding operations that need to keep both wildlife in—and threats out. Contact us for more information.

Different Types of High Fencing Options

Deer Proof Fencing

Deer proof fencing provides an effective solution to a common problem faced by landowners and gardeners alike. These seemingly gentle creatures can wreak havoc on gardens, landscapes, and, in some cases, strip the bark from tree trucks which girdle trees.

By installing a well-constructed and strategic barrier, you can effectively minimize the risk of deer-borne damage while maintaining the aesthetics of your surroundings. Plus they contribute to a balanced ecosystem by preventing overgrazing, which can ultimately lead to soil erosion and a decline in plant diversity.

With the long-term benefits of sustainability and protection, deer proof fencing is a smart and environmentally friendly investment for those wanting to preserve the beauty and functionality of their outdoor spaces.

High Game Fencing

High game fencing provides an essential barrier to protect valuable landscapes and wildlife from encroachment and disruption on wildlife reserves, ranches, and farms. With the advancement of technology and materials, high game fencing now comes in various designs and styles, such as woven wire fences and electric fences, tailored to suit the specific needs of different environments and species.

These fences not only serve practical purposes, but they also contribute to conservation efforts by helping maintain the natural balance within ecosystems.

Predator Aprons

To further protect your land and wildlife investment, we offer the installation of predator aprons as an optional add-on to our high game fence systems. A predator apron is a horizontal extension of the fence that runs along the ground, typically made of galvanized wire mesh. It’s designed to prevent digging predators—such as coyotes, foxes, and feral hogs—from burrowing under your fence line.

Exotic Game Fencing

Exotic game fencing is essential for securely raising and maintaining the well-being of rare and unique species, whether for private collections or wildlife conservation purposes. With the primary objective of ensuring both the safety of these captivating creatures and the people around them, finding the right balance between durability and aesthetic appeal is vital.

The materials used for fencing should be strong, resistant to wear and tear, and should adapt to different terrains and climate conditions. Furthermore, considering each animal’s instinctive behaviors and physical characteristics is crucial in designing an enclosure tailored to their specific needs.

By incorporating the best practices for exotic game fencing, we pave the way for a harmonious and safe environment for these intriguing species to thrive in comfort and security.

Hog-Proof Fencing

In Texas, the issue of feral hogs causing significant damage to properties and agriculture has become a genuine concern for landowners and farmers. Fortunately, innovative and efficient hog-proof fencing solutions have been developed to address this problem to ensure both crops and properties remain safe and secure from their destructive behaviors.

Wild hogs are known for their damaging rooting and wallowing behavior. They can destabilize wetland areas, springs, creeks, and private ponds. In addition to habitat devastation and modification, hogs can destroy crops, fields, livestock feeders, forestry plantings, and damage trees.

Maintenance Tips for Your High-Game or Exotic Game Fence

  • Inspect regularly for signs of damage and wear, including loose wires or posts, rusting materials, broken connections, or sagging sections.
  • Repair any damaged areas immediately.
  • Make sure the ground around it is clear of debris so animals can’t dig their way underneath.
  • Trim back overgrown vegetation near the fence.
  • Ensure all gates are secured with locks when not in use.
  • Use weather-resistant coatings on materials prone to rusting.
  • Maintain a safe distance between electric fencing and other objects like trees, buildings, etc., to prevent accidental shorts.
  • Replace batteries in electric fences every few months.
  • Replace worn insulation in electric fences every year.

Benefits of Installing a High-Game or Exotic Game Fence

Investing in such protection offers numerous benefits such as:

  • Wildlife management
  • Increased security, protection from predators
  • Improved property value
  • Cost-effective and low-maintenance

Installation Process for a High-Game or Exotic Game Fence

The installation process for a high-game or exotic game fence is relatively straightforward but requires careful attention to detail and quality materials.

Land Preparation: After carefully planning where the fence will be built, our crews will excavate and clear the land to prepare it for a solid foundation and the best performance. This can include clearing trees, removing underbrush, and land leveling.

Fence Materials: We use the best materials to protect your investment from the harsh weather here in Texas and the animals themselves. Long-lasting galvanized steel or carbon steel wire mesh provides superior strength and durability. Proper posts and supports are installed to withstand animal impact, stock pressure, and snow weight. Additionally, gates must be included for people or vehicles to enter and exit the property safely. Lastly, all components should be securely fastened together using the best hardware, such as nuts and bolts, to provide adequate protection over time.

With proper planning and installation, a high-game or exotic game fence can provide peace of mind that both people and animals are safe on your property.
