About T & L Fencing

Out where Boundary County's farmland flattens into fields diked against spring flooding, fence lines run for a mile at a stretch, and a hard winter storm piles drifts against every post and rail high enough to bury the bottom wire. This crew's work here isn't just clearing driveways — it's keeping farm gates and access lanes open so a rancher can still reach stock on the far side of a field when a fence line has turned into a snow wall. Wind off the open valley floor does more of the drifting than the storm itself, stacking snow against fence rows while the middle of a field stays nearly bare. A gate that won't swing because ice has locked it shut is a small problem that becomes a big one fast when there are animals on the other side of it. Getting those lanes and gates clear, post by post, is unglamorous work that mostly goes unnoticed — right up until the one morning it doesn't get done.
