Serving Bourbon County

Fencing the thoroughbred capital of the world.

Paris is horse country first — the farms along Paris Pike and Winchester Road set the standard for what a Kentucky fence is supposed to look like — but it's also a growing town with historic homes near downtown, newer neighborhoods off the bypass, and businesses along US-68. Every one of those needs a fence built for Bourbon County ground, and we build all of them.

Our shop is twenty minutes down Paris Pike in Lexington, so a free on-site estimate in Bourbon County is routine. We walk the line, talk board count and post spacing or panel style and gate placement, and put a firm price in writing.

Bourbon County Know-How

What's different about fencing in Bourbon County.

Every county in Central Kentucky has its own quirks. These are the ones that come up on Bourbon County jobs.

Permits in Paris & Bourbon County

Standard boundary fences under six feet generally don't need a permit here, but setback rules and corner-lot sight lines still apply, and downtown historic properties can have design review. We confirm what applies to your parcel.

Horse-safe by default

No barbed wire on horse pastures. We build four-board at 4.5–5 ft with posts set deep, or coated wire and flexible rail with a visible top board, so a spooked horse doesn't get hurt.

Kentucky 811 & property lines

A utility locate is required by law before we dig — we call it in. On farm boundaries we recommend confirming pins or surveying before a long run goes in.

Painting & long-term care

Black or white paint on board fence is part of the Bourbon County look. We offer a painting service and will tell you honestly how often oak, poplar, or treated pine needs it.

Paris Fence FAQs

The questions Bourbon County asks.

Most residential fence projects in Central Kentucky land between $1,500 and $4,500 installed, depending on material, linear footage, and terrain. Chain link and standard wood privacy sit at the lower end; vinyl, ornamental aluminum, and custom horse board fencing run higher. Farm fencing is priced per foot by system and post spacing. Chafin gives Paris and Bourbon County property owners a free on-site estimate with a firm written quote.
It depends on where the fence goes. Standard boundary fences under six feet generally don't require a permit in Paris or Bourbon County, but setback rules, corner-lot visibility, and utility locates always apply, and properties in the downtown historic district may need design review. Kentucky 811 must be called before any digging. We check the rules for your specific address and handle the locates and any approvals as part of the job.
Four-board wood fencing — typically oak or poplar boards on treated posts — is the Bluegrass standard for horse farms because it's highly visible, strong, and safe. Flexible vinyl rail and coated wire with a top board are common alternatives for larger acreage. For cattle, sheep, and goats, woven wire with a top board is the usual choice, and high-tensile wire covers big perimeters at the lowest cost per foot. We match the system to the animals, the acreage, and the budget during a free property walk.
Four-board horse fence in Central Kentucky generally runs about $8 to $15 per linear foot installed, including posts, boards, and hardware, with painting adding to that. Lumber species, post spacing, terrain, and gate count move the number. On long runs, the rolling ground around Paris can add cost where posts have to step with the grade — we'll show you exactly where in the written quote.
Fencing a horse can see and won't get tangled in: four-board wood, flexible vinyl rail, or non-climb woven wire with a high-visibility top board or rail. Barbed wire is not recommended for horses because of injury risk. Posts should be set deep enough that a leaning horse can't loosen them, and gates should swing clear and latch securely.
Yes on both. We offer a painting service for board fence — black or white are the traditional Bourbon County looks — and we can add wire mesh to the inside of a four-board fence to keep dogs and small animals in without changing the look from the road.
Yes. We repair every kind of farm and residential fence around Paris — downed boards, rotted posts, sagging wire, storm damage, broken gates — and we prioritize repairs where livestock can get out. Call (859) 552-8763 for a repair estimate.
