Paul Idaho Fence Installation and Repair
Paul Idaho Fencing – Residential, Commercial, Agricultural
Paul sits in southern Minidoka County. It is about 6 miles west of Rupert and 5 miles north of Burley. The town was founded in 1907.
It was named after Charles H. Paul, an engineer who worked on the Minidoka Reclamation Project. Highway 25 runs east and west through town. Highway 27 heads south from the center.
During World War II, a prisoner of war camp called Camp Rupert stood just west of Paul.
Today, Paul is a small farm town surrounded by irrigated cropland. Twin Falls Fencing installs and repairs fencing for homes and farms throughout the area.
Residential Fencing Options in Paul
Paul is a small town, and most homes here sit close to farmland. We install the full range of residential fencing types:
- 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 general boundary use, 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 for Paul’s Irrigated Cropland
Southern Minidoka County, where Paul sits, is covered in irrigated farmland. The northern part of the county turns to lava rock and open range.
Most of our agricultural work near Paul supports the irrigated ground close to town.
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 pasture perimeters. Electric fencing is also an option for lower upfront cost.

Some of the jobs covered with heavy brush clearing can add $1000 plus to the total. Some soil near Paul has alkali in it. That soil sometimes needs special concrete additives to keep posts stable.

Fence Planning Basics for Paul Properties
We start with a free site visit and give you a written quote. State law requires an 811 utility locate before we dig, and that typically takes three business days to clear.
Fence Permits Near Paul
Idaho law sets four and a half feet as the baseline height for a lawful fence.
Around Paul, most fences go taller than that for privacy or to contain livestock. The actual height limit and permit rule depends on the specific property.
Outside city limits, Minidoka County sets most of these rules. Before you finalize plans, it is worth a quick call to the county building department.
This matters most if your fence runs near a road or borders a neighbor’s property.
Ground Conditions Around Paul
Soil close to Paul is mostly irrigated farmland, built up over more than a century of cultivation.
This ground still needs the right post depth to hold a fence steady. A good rule in this part of Idaho is to set posts below the frost line.
Posts set too shallow tend to lean after a few cold winters. Our crews check the soil on site and adjust footing depth for each job.

Do I need a permit for a fence in Paul?
It depends on the fence height and location. Taller fences and fences near a road or corner lot are more likely to need a permit. Minidoka County handles most permit questions outside city limits. We recommend checking before finalizing your project, and we can help with that step.
What is the best fence for irrigated farmland near Paul?
Post and rail fencing works well for marking long property lines. Woven wire or high tensile wire is a better fit if the property also keeps livestock. Electric fencing works well for rotational grazing between fields.
How deep are fence posts set near Paul?
Post depth depends on fence height, material, and soil. As a general rule, posts should sit below the frost line. This helps stop leaning after winter. Our crew checks the soil at your property and sets the right depth.
Can you repair an older fence instead of replacing it near Paul?
In many cases, yes. Repairing damaged posts, panels, or gate hardware is often more practical than a full replacement when the rest of the fence is still solid. We will tell you honestly which option makes more sense for your fence.
