The Early Days of Fencing

As long as there have been farms with livestock, there&#;s been a need for fencing. Early fences were made from whatever materials were available, often stone or wood. Building fences using these materials was hard work, and after all of the effort, they would fall prey to the elements.

This all changed in the late s. Peter Sommer was a hard working Illinois man, scratching out a living from his farm and rail splitting business. He believed there had to be a better way to build fencing, so he invented a machine that could weave steel wire into fence. With this innovation, farmers could protect their property with a lightweight, weatherproof option. Soon after Sommer supplied his neighbors with this new fencing, demand skyrocketed, sending him in search of a better, more efficient way to produce woven wire fences.

The Birth of Red Brand Fence

In , Sommer founded Keystone Steel and Wire Company, the parent company of Red Brand. Armed with new, faster machines, Keystone was able to deliver a larger supply of fencing to the industry. Red Brand&#;s fences provided the durability no other type of fencing could. It didn&#;t take long for Red Brand to become a household name throughout the United States.

In , Keystone opened its first steel mill, and in expanded to build a wire mill. By , Red Brand&#;s fence making technology had developed to the point that the company could create 100 feet of fence in just minutes. Now, 100 years later, we continue to manufacture consistent, reliable fencing products to a growing base of customers.

Selecting the Best Field Fence for Your Needs

Field fencing is not a one-size-fits-all product. Which is why Red Brand offers over 45 different kinds of field fence. Some of the considerations that go into selecting an appropriate field fence include the knot style, the galvanization, the height, the length, and the pullout spacing.

• Knots: Knots are largely regarded as superior to welded fences for a variety of reasons. We offer three categories of knot for field fencing depending on the function of the field fence. The galvanization options need to suit the intended purpose as well as the customer budget.
• Pullout Spacing: The pullout spacing refers to the number of inches between the vertical stays. The closer the pullout spacing is, the more rigid the fence will be. When the pullout is closer, it can also serve to prevent smaller animals.
• Height: The height is the next point of consideration. You will need to select an appropriate field fence depending on what type of animal or group of animals you are dealing with. It may need to be large and strong enough to stop cattle but also small enough to prevent smaller animals such as rabbits, or sheep.
• Length: The majority of Red Brand field fence products are available in 330-foot rolls, a standardized length in the industry. 4 rolls of this fence will cover .25 miles.
