Fence and Gate Work in Orland, CA

Orland sits about 20 miles northwest of Chico, just off Interstate 5 in Glenn County, and the land around it is wide open. Almond and olive orchards, irrigated pasture and ranch land spread out in every direction, with Black Butte Lake and the foothills to the west. That openness is what people love about it, and it's also what makes fencing here a real job. Long property lines mean a lot of fence. Strong winds sweep across the flat ground with nothing to slow them down. Summer heat runs high, and winter rain can turn low ground soft for weeks. In town, many homes have older wood fences and chain link that need repair or replacement. Out on bigger parcels, the work is ranch fencing, deer fencing for orchards and wide gates for equipment. Orland is also home to the Glenn County Fair, so there's no shortage of animal pens and small pastures either.

We handle fence repair for homes in town, plus ranch and farm fencing, wood and chain link fences and gates on rural properties. Call or send the form, and we'll come out with a written price.

Ranch Fencing on Open Ground

Out on the ranches around Orland, a fence often has to run a long way and hold up to animals and wind for years. That starts with the corners. We build braced corners and ends that keep wire tight, then set line posts at the right spacing for the ground and the animals. Woven field fence is a strong choice for cattle, sheep and goats. Horses need no-climb wire or post and rail, tall and easy to see. For orchards, tall deer fence keeps young trees safe. And every ranch needs good gates, hung on solid posts and wide enough for the equipment that has to pass through. We'll walk the land with you and help phase a big job if needed.

Fences in Town

In town, the work is more like what we do in Chico: leaning posts, broken boards, gates that sag and chain link that needs tightening. Many fences here face the full force of the wind, so we set posts deeper and use heavier hardware where it's exposed. If you're tired of repairing a wood fence every year, vinyl or chain link with privacy slats can be a low-upkeep option. We're in Chico every day and work across the valley, including farm properties around Durham, so Orland is an easy trip for us.

Wind, Heat and Fence Materials

The wind across Glenn County is one of the biggest reasons fences fail here, so the material you pick matters. Solid wood and vinyl privacy fences catch the most wind, so they need heavier posts, deeper footings and bracing on exposed runs. Chain link lets the wind pass through and stands up well on open lots. Wood post and rail and wire fences also let wind through, which is part of why they've been the standard on ranches for so long. Heat is the other test. Wood that isn't sealed dries out, cracks and grays quickly in Orland summers, so we recommend sealing every few years. Vinyl handles the sun well in lighter colors. We'll help you pick the fence that fits your property, your budget and the weather.
