Custom Fencing in Thornton, CORanch Rail, Deer Fencing & Dog Fencing for Properties That Don’t Fit the Standard Mold
Not every yard needs a standard privacy fence. From ranch rail boundaries to deer-resistant heights to fencing built to actually hold a dog, we handle the projects that don’t fit the usual template.
Custom Fencing Options
Custom fencing covers three specific needs that don’t fit a standard privacy fence.
Ranch Rail Fence Installation
Classic horizontal-rail fencing for property boundaries and acreage, built for the look rural Thornton properties actually want.

Deer Fence Installation
Taller fencing designed to actually keep deer out of gardens and landscaping, not just slow them down.

Dog Fence Installation
Physical fencing built with the height, gaps, and gate hardware that actually holds a determined dog.
Learn More →Custom fencing is one of our Fence Contractor services for properties that need something beyond a standard privacy fence — acreage boundaries, wildlife pressure, or a yard that actually needs to hold a determined dog. None of these are one-size-fits-all projects, so we start with what you’re actually trying to solve before recommending anything.
Ranch Rail: Boundary Fencing, Not Livestock Containment
Ranch rail is the classic look for acreage and semi-rural properties around Thornton — two, three, or four horizontal rails on posts, marking a property line without boxing in the view. It’s popular because it looks right on a larger lot and costs less per foot than a solid fence of the same length.
Here’s the honest part: on its own, ranch rail marks a boundary, it doesn’t reliably contain livestock. Horses and cattle can push through or over open rail spacing, especially determined ones. If you need actual containment, not just a visual line, we can pair ranch rail with wire mesh or add an electric line, which is a different project than a standalone rail fence and priced accordingly.
Ranch rail comes in wood or vinyl, same tradeoff as any other fence material — wood costs less and needs occasional staining, vinyl costs more and needs none.
Deer Fencing: What Height Actually Works
Thornton and the surrounding suburbs sit right up against a lot of deer habitat, and mule deer wander through yards and gardens more than most new residents expect, especially near open space and greenbelt areas. This is one of those cases where we’d rather tell you the truth than sell you something that won’t work: a fence has to be roughly 7 to 8 feet tall to reliably keep deer out, since they clear 6 feet without much trouble. Thornton’s general fence height limit is 6 feet without extra permitting, and anything over 7 feet requires a building permit, so a true deer-exclusion fence usually means going through that process.
A 6-foot fence still helps — it cuts down on browsing and isn’t nothing — but if full exclusion is the goal, we’ll tell you upfront that it means either the taller permitted height or a different approach for the specific area you’re trying to protect, like a garden bed instead of the whole yard.
Dog Fencing: Built to Actually Hold Your Dog
This is a physical fence, not an underground electric or invisible fence — different technology, different type of installer. What we build is a real fence sized around your dog: tall enough that it can’t jump or climb out, with gaps small enough that it can’t squeeze through, and buried or ground-set edges so digging under isn’t an easy option either.
Material matters less here than height, gap size, and gate hardware. We can build a dog-proof fence in wood, vinyl, or chain link depending on what fits your yard and budget, since real containment comes down to the details, not which material you pick.

Why Thornton Homeowners Choose Us for Custom Fencing
Custom projects are where a lot of fence companies either overcharge because it’s “not standard,” or underdeliver because they don’t actually do this kind of work regularly. We do all three of these often enough that we know the honest tradeoffs — what a ranch rail fence will and won’t do, what height actually stops deer, what it takes to hold a dog that’s already found the weak spot in your old fence.
