Open Views. Solid Boundaries.
Hog Wire Fence Installation in Sacramento
A hog wire fence (also called welded wire or cattle panel fence) combines a clean wood frame with welded wire mesh panels for a fence that provides boundaries without blocking your view. It’s the perfect choice for Sacramento homeowners who want to define property lines, contain pets, or protect gardens while keeping an open, airy feel in their yard.
Hog wire fences have become extremely popular in Sacramento’s farm-to-fork culture — they give properties that modern farmhouse aesthetic while being one of the most practical and durable fence styles available. VMK Builders & Co builds custom hog wire fences with cedar or redwood frames and heavy-gauge galvanized wire panels.
At VMK Builders & Co, we build hog wire fences with proper wood frames and commercial-grade wire panels — not the flimsy hardware store panels that sag and rust within a year. Our frames are built from premium cedar or redwood with dado-cut channels that hold the wire panel tight and flush. The wire panels themselves are heavy-gauge galvanized steel rated for outdoor use in Sacramento’s wet winters and dry summers.
About VMK Builders & Hog Wire Fences
Why Hog Wire Fences Need Professional Installation — and How VMK Prevents It
We install more wood fences than any other type across the greater Sacramento area. After years of building and repairing fences from Roseville to Elk Grove, we’ve identified the three main reasons Sacramento wood fences fail early:
- Shallow post holes — Posts set less than 24 inches deep will lean within 1–2 years in Sacramento’s expansive clay soil. VMK sets every post 30–36 inches deep in concrete.
- Untreated or green lumber — Cheap pine warps, splits, and rots fast in Sacramento heat. We use pressure-treated posts rated for ground contact and premium cedar or redwood boards for rails and pickets.
- Standard steel hardware — Regular screws and brackets rust within 2 Sacramento winters, leaving orange streaks down your fence. VMK uses galvanized or stainless-steel fasteners on every project.
These aren’t upgrades — they’re standard on every VMK wood fence installation.

Hog Wire Fence Options for Sacramento Homes
VMK builds hog wire fences in several configurations, customizable by height, frame style, and wire pattern.
- Full-Frame Hog Wire — Cedar or redwood frame with inset wire panel. The most popular option for Sacramento backyards. $65–78/linear foot installed.
- Hog Wire with Horizontal Frame — Horizontal board accents combined with wire panels for a modern farmhouse look. Popular in the Farm-to-Fork neighborhoods.
- Hog Wire Garden Fence — Shorter 3–4 foot panels designed to protect vegetable gardens and flower beds while maintaining visibility. Great for Sacramento’s year-round growing season.
- Mixed Panel Hog Wire — Alternating solid wood panels and wire panels along the fence line for partial privacy with open sections. Ideal for side yards and property borders.

Why Sacramento Homeowners Choose Hog Wire Fences
- Open views with defined boundaries — See your landscaping, garden, and yard while still keeping pets in and wildlife out.
- Modern farmhouse aesthetic — The wood-and-wire combination fits Sacramento’s farm-to-fork culture perfectly. It looks intentional and designed, not improvised.
- Pet and garden friendly — The wire mesh keeps dogs contained and deer out of your garden without creating a dark, enclosed feeling.
- Extremely durable — Galvanized wire doesn’t rot, warp, or need staining. The wood frame weathers naturally or can be sealed for longevity.
- Lifetime craftsmanship warranty — Every VMK hog wire fence includes our signature lifetime warranty on craftsmanship.
How We Install Hog Wire Fences
01
Old fence removal included — We tear out your existing fence, pull old posts and concrete footings, and haul everything away at no extra charge. Your yard is cleared and prepped before new construction begins.
02
Proper post depth and spacing — Posts are set every 6–8 feet on center at 30–36 inch depth in concrete. This is the foundation that prevents sagging, leaning, and panel gaps that plague cheaply built Sacramento fences.
03
Drainage-focused installation — Pea gravel beds, crowned concrete, and proper backfill technique keep water away from your posts. In Sacramento’s wet winters, this is the difference between a 5-year fence and a 20-year fence.
04
Clean finish and alignment — Every board is checked for plumb and level. Panels follow your yard’s natural grade so there are no unsightly gaps at the bottom. Cap boards and trim are aligned to the fraction of an inch.
05
Final walk-through with the homeowner — Before the job is closed, you inspect every post, panel, rail, and gate with Vlad. We don’t collect final payment until you’re completely satisfied. Every wood fence installation includes our lifetime craftsmanship warranty.
