Building a fence that holds livestock
On acreage, the corners and gate posts do most of the work. Ask your contractor about H-braces at corners and gates, how far apart line posts will be, and what wire or rail fits the animals you keep. If you want the fence to count as a legal fence under Montana law, say so up front.
Long fence lines and buried lines
A long fence line can cross a lot of ground, including private power and water lines that Montana 811 doesn't mark, such as a line out to a barn or a stock tank. Walk the route with the contractor and point out anything you know is buried.
Common questions
Do you cover Frenchtown and Huson?
Yes. Call with your address and we'll connect you with a contractor that serves it.
Will Montana 811 mark the water line to my barn?
Usually not. The free service doesn't locate private lines past the meter, so mark them yourself or hire a private locator.
