Heyburn Fencing Company Serving Heyburn, Idaho
Heyburn sits on the Snake River, right across from Burley, in Minidoka County.
It was one of the first townsites built as part of the Minidoka Reclamation Project. Many of its residential lots were laid out small and close together. That was normal for that era.
In 1914, Heyburn’s school even claimed the state’s first Idaho basketball championship.
Today, Heyburn is also home to the Magic Valley Business Park. Manufacturers like Double L Manufacturing now operate there.
Heyburn has tight residential lots, nearby farmland, and a growing business park. That mix makes it a little different from other towns in the area.
Twin Falls Fencing installs and repairs fencing for all three types of properties.
Commercial Fencing for Heyburn Businesses
Heyburn’s Magic Valley Business Park has brought new manufacturing and warehouse operations to town. These properties need fencing that does a specific job.
We install chain link and welded wire perimeter fencing for yard security. We install fencing around dumpster enclosures and equipment storage areas.
We also install gates sized for delivery trucks and forklifts, not just passenger vehicles.
Commercial fencing pricing depends on height, gauge, and gate type, and we provide a written quote after seeing the site.
Residential Fencing Choices for Heyburn Homes
Heyburn’s close set residential lots often call for careful property line work before installation starts. We install several fencing types to fit these smaller yards:
- Vinyl fencing in privacy or picket styles, usually 6 feet for backyards or 4 feet for front yards, generally $35 to $60 per linear foot installed
- Wood fencing in cedar or pressure treated pine, in solid privacy, dog ear, or picket styles, generally $28 to $45 per linear foot installed
- Chain link fencing for pets, pools, or narrow side yards, generally $18 to $30 per linear foot installed
- Aluminum and ornamental iron fencing for a decorative look or added security, generally $40 to $75 per linear foot installed
Every post gets a concrete footing sized to the fence height and the soil. Gates get strong hardware, including galvanized or stainless screws and self closing hinges where needed.
Farm Fencing Around Heyburn
Just outside town, Heyburn is surrounded by irrigated Minidoka County farmland.
We install post and rail fencing for property lines. We install woven wire, also called field fence, for general livestock containment. We install high tensile smooth wire and five strand barbed wire for cattle. Electric fencing is also available for properties that can manage the extra upkeep it needs.
Electric fencing runs $2 to $4 per foot installed. Five strand barbed wire runs $3 to $6 per foot. High tensile smooth wire runs $4 to $7 per foot. Woven wire field fencing runs $5 to $9 per foot.
Larger jobs with heavy brush clearing usually add $1,500 to $4,000 to the total. Some soil in this part of Minidoka County has alkali in it. That soil sometimes needs special concrete additives to keep post footings stable.
Fence Gates and Repairs
We install single swing, double swing, and slide gates for homes, farms, and business properties. Automatic gate openers are available for driveways and commercial entrances.
Our repair work covers rotten posts, cracked vinyl panels, gates that will not latch, and bent or damaged chain link.
We fix the actual cause of the damage instead of a quick patch, since patches that skip this step tend to fail again within a year.
What to Check Before Your Heyburn Fence Goes In
Because many Heyburn lots sit close together, confirming the exact property line matters more here than in areas with larger lots. Idaho law requires an 811 utility locate before any digging starts, and this usually takes three business days to clear. We build that wait into every project schedule.
Idaho’s baseline legal height for a lawful fence is four and a half feet. Most fences in Heyburn are built taller than this for privacy or containment. Height limits and permit rules depend on the property. The city of Heyburn or Minidoka County sets these rules. We suggest a quick check with the right office before you finalize plans. This matters most for fences near a road or a shared lot line.
Soil around Heyburn is mostly river bottom ground near the Snake River. Post depth should account for that.
A good rule in this part of Idaho is to set posts below the frost line. Shallow posts tend to lean after a few winters.

Heyburn Fencing Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a fence cost in Heyburn, Idaho?
Residential fencing runs $18 to $75 per linear foot installed. Vinyl runs $35 to $60. Wood runs $28 to $45. Chain link runs $18 to $30. Aluminum or ornamental iron runs $40 to $75. Farm fencing runs about $2 to $9 per foot depending on type. Commercial fencing is quoted after a site visit. Gauge, height, and gate type all affect the price.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Heyburn?
It depends on the fence height, its location, and whether the property falls inside city limits or unincorporated Minidoka County. Taller fences and fences near a road or corner lot are more likely to need a permit. We recommend checking with the correct office before finalizing your plans.
Can you fence a business or warehouse property in Heyburn?
Yes. We install perimeter security fencing, dumpster enclosures, and truck sized gates for commercial and industrial properties, including sites in the Magic Valley Business Park.
Why does property line accuracy matter more in Heyburn?
Many Heyburn residential lots were platted small and close together when the town was first built. That makes it more important to confirm the exact property line before ordering materials, so the finished fence lines up correctly with your neighbor’s property.
What is the best fence for containing livestock near Heyburn?
It depends on your animals and budget. Woven wire offers strong general purpose containment. High tensile wire is durable and needs less upkeep. Barbed wire costs less up front and works well for cattle. Electric fencing works well as a supplement for rotational grazing.
