Question 1

What is the best fencing for horses in Ontario?

Accepted Answer

For most Ontario horse properties, Flex Fence is the leading choice — high-tensile galvanized wire in a durable polymer rail that flexes on impact, is highly visible and needs virtually no maintenance. The 5.25″ Plus carries a Lifetime Limited Warranty. PVC is preferred for riding rings, driveways and estate perimeters. Board fencing (white oak, ash or pressure-treated 2×6 on 6″ cedar posts at 8′ centres) is best for stallion paddocks, corrals and high-pressure areas. We help you choose the right system for each zone.

Question 2

What board fencing materials do you use?

Accepted Answer

White oak boards, ash boards or pressure-treated 2×6 lumber. All board fence installations use 6″ cedar posts pounded plumb at 8′ on centre, with boards staggered at every post for maximum rail strength. Board fencing suits general horse paddocks, stallion areas, corrals, show and sale rings and any high-pressure containment zone.

Question 3

What animals do you install fencing for?

Accepted Answer

Horses, cattle, sheep, goats, alpacas, llamas, donkeys, mules, deer, elk, bison, pigs, dogs, ponies, miniature horses and other specialty and exotic species. Fence type, height, mesh opening and electrification are matched to the animals on each part of your property.

Question 4

Do you install commercial and large-scale fencing?

Accepted Answer

Yes — equestrian centres, boarding facilities, fairgrounds, agricultural exhibitions and large commercial livestock operations. Multiple crews let us deploy the manpower large, time-sensitive projects need without compromising quality.

Question 5

Why do you pound posts instead of augering?

Accepted Answer

Pounding compacts the soil around the post as it drives in — augering removes material and leaves a looser fit. Pounded posts are tighter, more stable and far more resistant to Ontario frost heave. It's also faster, reducing installation time and cost.

Question 6

Do you supply all the fencing materials?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Posts, rails, brackets, tensioners, mesh, wire, hardware and gates all come from System Equine's own inventory, giving complete quality control and keeping manufacturer warranties fully intact.

Question 7

Do you install driveway and automated gates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our gate division installs paddock gates, estate driveway gates and automated swing and slide systems using LiftMaster and Nice operators, plus intercom and keypad access. Modular iron and ornamental gates can match your fence.

Question 8

Can I mix different fence types on one property?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — it's often the best approach. Flex Fence for paddock perimeters, board for stallion areas, PVC for the riding ring and driveway, wire mesh for sheep and goats, modular iron with automated gates at the entrance and chain link for security. We plan a multi-zone design as part of your quote.

Question 9

How long does a fence installation take?

Accepted Answer

A standard paddock is often completed in one to two days. Larger farm or estate perimeters can take several days to a week or more depending on scale, terrain and fence type. We build a timeline into your quote and allow 1–2 weeks of scheduling flexibility for weather.

Question 10

What if my property has challenging terrain?

Accepted Answer

Our crews regularly handle grades, rock, drainage swales, wet areas and variable soils. We assess terrain on the site visit or the first call using our planning tools, and account for it in your quote — no surprises on installation day.
