  • At Straight Line Fence & Trench, barbed wire ranch fencing is our specialty. We design and install durable 3-wire to 5-wire barbed wire fence systems built to handle Montana’s rugged conditions and working ranch life. Our fences are ideal for cattle and livestock containment, large pasture boundaries, and property lines where strength and reliability matter most. Using quality materials, properly spaced posts, and tight, straight lines, we build fences that stand up to weather, pressure, and time. Whether you need a new fence line, replacement of old fencing, or expansion of existing pastures, we deliver clean installs you can count on—done right the first time.

  • Straight Line Fence & Trench builds wood post and rail fencing for landowners who want a strong, functional fence with a classic, traditional ranch look. This style of fencing is ideal for corrals, drive lanes, property entrances, and areas where you want durability without the industrial look of pipe. It also provides an added layer of safety when horses are in the area, thanks to its visibility and smooth rails that reduce the risk of injury. We use quality materials, solid post setting, and clean, straight construction to ensure your fence stands up to livestock pressure, daily use, and Montana’s harsh conditions. The result is a timeless fence that looks great, functions reliably, and holds up season after season.

  • Straight Line Fence & Trench installs heavy-duty pipe fence built for strength, safety, and a clean, professional look. Pipe fencing is ideal for high-traffic areas, corrals, feedlots, drive lanes, and anywhere you need a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution. We focus on straight lines, solid welds, and proper post setting to ensure your fence holds up to livestock pressure, equipment use, and Montana’s tough weather. Our pipe fence installs are designed to be functional, durable, and built to stand the test of time.

  • At Straight Line Fence & Trench, we use our experience, efficiency, and hands-on ranch knowledge to build pipe corrals that are tailored to your exact needs and layout. No two operations are the same, and we design each corral system around how you work—whether that’s sorting, loading, calving, or daily handling. From smart pen flow and gate placement to precise cuts and solid welds, every detail is built for smoother movement, safer handling, and long-term durability. The result is a custom corral system that saves you time, reduces stress on livestock, and works as hard as you do.

  • Straight Line Fence & Trench specializes in burying customer-provided lines using both vibratory plow and chain trencher methods—without performing the utility or fiber installs ourselves. Whether you need existing water lines, power conduit, or other approved lines buried, we choose the most efficient method for your ground conditions and layout. Vibratory plowing allows for fast, low-disturbance burial, while chain trenching provides precise depth and control where needed. Our crew works clean, straight, and accurate to minimize surface disruption and leave your property looking right when the job is done. We’re also more than happy to work in partnership with utility companies or contractors to support the quality and completion of their work. It’s a straightforward, reliable solution for getting lines in the ground quickly and properly.

Straight Line Fence & Trench is run by Scott, Austin, and Nolan—a tight-knit crew that treats every project like it’s their own property. What started as Austin’s dream to run his own fencing business, backed by Scott’s years of experience owning and operating a fencing company, has grown into a dependable local operation built on trust, grit, and getting the job done right.

As a team, we specialize in barbed wire fencing and trenching services, using Vermeer machines to deliver precise installs and efficient timelines without cutting corners. The right equipment, combined with hands-on experience, allows us to work cleanly, respect your land, and complete projects the right way the first time.

What sets us apart is our hands-on, owner-in-the-field approach. Scott, Austin, and Nolan are directly involved in every job—from planning to final install—so nothing gets passed off and nothing gets overlooked. We value honesty, reliability, and clear communication, and we take pride in building durable fence lines and clean trenching work that stands up to Montana’s tough conditions.

We proudly serve landowners, ranchers, farmers, and commercial properties with dependable, custom-fit solutions for each property’s needs.
