Game Fence Failing Around Sisterdale? Start at the Braces
Deer slipping under game fence in the Sister Creek valley
The problem: Deer keep turning up inside the high fence, and the wire has pulled loose at the low spots and along the gate.
Why it happens here: The Hill Country carries the highest deer density in Texas, so any gap gets found. On Eckrant uplands, about 5 inches of stony clay over limestone, braces that are not drilled into rock let the wire go slack.
What we do: We rebuild the braces into the rock, retension the 8 ft game fence, close the low gaps, and hang gates that shut tight to the ground.
Posts that lean or wobble
Usually a post set too shallow, stopped short by rock or loosened by clay that swells and shrinks.
Gates that sag or drag
A hinge post that has moved, or a gate hung without enough bracing for its width.
Gray, split or loose boards
Sun and weather on bare wood. Repairs plus a fresh stain coat buy the fence years.
Deer in the garden
A fence too short or a gate that leaves a gap at the ground. Deer find both.
Most of these are fixable without a full rebuild. See fence repair for what a fix costs.

Ranch Work North of Boerne on FM 1376
Sisterdale is unincorporated ranch country north of Boerne along FM 1376. There's no city permit office here like Boerne's, but it's still worth checking county rules and any deed restrictions before a new line goes in. We'll help you find out what applies.
We haul drilling gear and bracing material out for these jobs, because most of the work is on long runs over rock.
Long Runs Over Stony Uplands
Sisterdale ranch land is mostly stony upland, with limestone close under the surface. A wire fence is only as good as its corners and braces, so we set those first, drilled into rock and set in concrete, then stretch the wire between them.
For cattle and horses we build pipe, pipe and cable, welded wire and barbed wire, depending on the stock and your budget. For game we build 8 ft high fence. At the entry we hang a ranch gate wide enough for trucks and trailers, and we can add an operator if you want it automatic.

Ranch Fencing in the Sisterdale Valley
Sisterdale was settled in 1847 by Nicolaus Zink and has stayed a farming and ranching community in the valley of Sister Creek, north of Boerne where FM 1376 meets RM 473. The valley's historic district, listed on the National Register in 1975, covers 2,893 acres.
The Hill Country holds the highest white-tailed deer density in Texas, and ranch owners in the valley feel it in grazing and game management. That's why so much of our work on this land is 8 ft high fence with gates that close tight to the ground, alongside cattle and horse fence.
The uplands are Eckrant-type ground: about 5 inches of stony clay resting on fractured limestone. There's nothing to dig into, so we drill corners and braces into the rock, set them in concrete, then stretch the wire. At the road we hang a ranch gate wide enough for trucks and trailers, manual or automatic.

Read the guideSisterdale Ranch Fence Questions
How do you set braces on the rocky uplands north of Boerne?
Eckrant uplands have about 5 inches of stony clay over fractured limestone, so we drill corner and brace posts into the rock and set them in concrete before any wire goes up.
Barbed wire or welded wire for cattle on long runs?
Barbed wire is usually the cheapest to put up. Welded wire and pipe and cable cost more but need less upkeep, and on long runs every type depends on corners and braces set solid in the rock.
What does high game fence cost per foot?
Game fence up to 8 ft on acreage falls in the $8 to $20 per foot deer fence range. Rock under the braces and the number of gates move a Sisterdale job within it.
What does pipe fence for horses cost?
For horses, pipe top-rail with wire or pipe and cable runs $20 to $45 per foot installed.
Can you put an automatic gate at a ranch entry on FM 1376?
Yes. An automatic driveway gate runs $3,000 to $12,000 installed complete, and a solar-powered operator is an option where there's no power at the road.
