Fence installation in Shelley, Idaho
Fences for a farm town south of Idaho Falls, from backyard privacy to pasture lines along the canals.
Shelley is in Bingham County on the east side of the Snake River, facing the Blackfoot Mountains, and had 4,785 residents in 2020. It's potato country, and the town hosts Idaho's annual Spud Day each September, a tradition first held in 1927. Homes in town sit close to farm ground, so a single call can be about a backyard fence one day and a pasture fence the next.
What Shelley property owners call about
- Privacy fences for homes in town
- Chain link for dogs and gardens
- Wire and pipe fencing for livestock
- Gates wide enough for farm equipment
- Repairs after wind across open fields
Wide-open exposure
With fields on every side, many Shelley lots have nothing to slow the wind. Solid privacy fences there need heavier posts and closer spacing, or a design with some gaps for air to pass. Chain link and wire fences shrug off the wind better.
Canals, ditches and county rules
Irrigation canals and laterals run through and around town. Fences on an irrigation company's easement need its written permission under Idaho Code 42-1209, so check before fencing along a ditch. Shelley's city rules apply inside town, and Bingham County's apply on rural land.
Common questions
Do you cover Shelley and the farms around it?
Yes. Call with your address and we'll connect you with a contractor that serves northern Bingham County.
Do I need permission to fence beside a canal?
If the fence would sit on the canal's easement, Idaho law requires the irrigation entity's written permission. Ask them first.
