Fence and Gate Installation in Boring, Oregon

Evergreen Gate & Fence Works puts up and repairs fencing across Boring and the farms and horse properties around it. Out here the work leans rural: field fence and no-climb mesh for livestock, chain link for equipment yards and kennels, cedar and vinyl closer to the house, ornamental iron where a place wants a finished front. We build custom gates wide enough for a hay truck and wire automatic openers at the end of a long gravel drive.

Most parcels run on well and septic with no HOA telling you what to build, so the design is yours. We are bonded and insured, licensed in both Oregon and Washington, and the estimate costs nothing. Honest pricing and careful building, whether it is fifty feet of dog run or a long pasture line up the back forty: posts set to depth in clay, corners braced so a tight wire stays tight, gates that still latch clean after the ground heaves and settles.

Miles of pasture and the pull of heavy clay

Acreage fencing is a different animal from a backyard. A quarter-mile run has to stay straight and tight across dips and rises, so we brace the corners and end posts hard, then stretch woven wire or high-tensile line against them. For horses we use no-climb mesh with a sight board on top, because a hoof does not go through a 2-by-4-inch weave the way it goes through field fence. Cattle and goats each want their own spacing.

The clay is the catch. It holds water in winter and turns to concrete in August, and a post set lazy in wet clay will lift as the ground freezes and thaws. We dig past the soft layer, tamp in gravel for drainage, and set corner posts in concrete so the whole line has something to pull against. Get the corners wrong and the prettiest fence sags by spring.

Ravine edges at Deep Creek and large-lot subdivisions

Not every parcel is flat pasture. The land breaks into ravines at Deep Creek and North Fork Deep Creek, and a fence that runs to the lip of a draw needs posts set back from the crumbling edge and a plan for water sheeting downhill. We keep the line on stable ground and let a gate or a shorter return handle the drop, rather than fighting a slope that will keep moving.

Closer to the Damascus and Happy Valley edge, newer large-lot subdivisions have gone in, and those owners often want a cleaner look: cedar privacy panels around the house, vinyl for low upkeep, ornamental iron on a front entry. We build the polished stuff and the working stuff with the same crew, and we can tie a back pasture to a finished front yard without the two clashing.

County rules, not city: heights and corner sight lines

Boring sits in unincorporated Clackamas County, so there is no city hall setting fence rules here: county code governs. The county lets you build wood, chain-link, or wire-mesh fences up to 8 feet with no building permit, and only requires one above 8 feet. At intersections, a sight-obscuring structure over 30 inches is barred within a 20-foot radius of the corner so traffic stays visible. That covers most farm and yard fencing without paperwork. Rules change, we confirm current requirements with the city as part of every quote.
