Buckley Steel Horse Fence in Colorado Springs
The ranch-rail look, in steel. No splintered boards, fewer rail repairs.
Paragon Fence Co installs Buckley steel board fencing all over Colorado Springs for horse property, pastures, paddocks and driveways. Buckley is a steel ranch-rail fence from a company based in Commerce City, Colorado. It comes in 3- and 4-rail systems, powder-coated in texture black or gloss white. From the road it looks like classic post-and-rail, just without the broken boards and splinters.

How I build it
Walk the line with you. Tell me how your horses use the space: turnout, stallion paddock, perimeter or arena approach. That way the rail count, height and gates fit how they actually move.
Written estimate. Rail count, color, gates and footage. Every piece gets a real number.
811 before we dig. We get the public utility lines marked first. 811 doesn't mark private lines, like sprinklers or a line to a detached garage, so show us where yours run.
Deep holes, wet concrete. Buckley's install guidance calls for posts in wet concrete in deep augered holes, and that's how we set them. Rocky ground here can mean longer digs. That's normal around here.
Rails lock in. Posts go in plumb. Then the rails lock in at Buckley's spacing, with no forest of nails.
Gates and walkthrough. Buckley gates come in 3- or 4-rail, and I hang them plumb and square. Then we walk the line together and clean up.

Why Paragon
Buckley, not vinyl rail. I've seen large hail crack vinyl rail. So for horse and pasture jobs, we install Buckley.
Every post at least 30 inches deep, in concrete. That's our standard. Pretty rails on short posts still make a leaning fence.
Straight answers. If Buckley isn't the smart spend for your property, I'll tell you. Then I'll show you what is.
Service Area
I build fences all over Colorado Springs, including Broadmoor and Old Colorado City, plus Fountain, Security-Widefield, Monument, Peyton, Falcon, Black Forest, Woodland Park, Manitou Springs and Cripple Creek.
FAQs
Is Buckley steel fence safe for horses?
Buckley is built with horses in mind. Buckley says its rails are easy for horses to see, with smooth edges, and its boards are built to flex and release under impact.
Is Buckley a privacy fence?
No. Buckley defines space and holds livestock, but you can see through it. If you need privacy, a cedar privacy fence is the better fit.
Is Buckley worth it over wood rail?
Wood rail can cost less up front on a long run, but then you're dealing with stain, splinters, hail damage and broken boards. Buckley makes sense when you want the ranch look with fewer replacements. The estimate shows real numbers so you can compare.
Why not vinyl rail for horses?
Hail is the big reason here. I've seen large hail crack vinyl rail, and Buckley says its steel board flexes and releases under impact. For horse and pasture jobs, we install Buckley.
What colors and rail counts does Buckley come in?
Buckley comes in 3- and 4-rail systems, powder-coated in texture black or gloss white. Gates come in 3- and 4-rail to match.
How are Buckley fence posts set?
In deep augered holes with posts set in wet concrete, the way Buckley's install guidance calls for. Rocky Front Range ground can mean longer digs, and that's normal.
