Fencing open prairie
East of the hills, the land opens up and there's little to break the wind. Chain link, rail and wire fences handle that better than long runs of solid privacy panels. For a privacy fence near the house, ask about heavier posts and closer spacing.
Long lines and braces
A pasture fence lives or dies by its corners. Ask about H-braces at corners and gates, line post spacing, and the wire or rail best suited to the animals you keep. Walk the full route with the contractor and point out any buried private lines, such as water to a tank, since South Dakota 811 only covers utility-owned lines.
County rules
Hermosa is in Custer County, not Pennington County, so different zoning applies. Check with the town or county, and your covenants if you're in a subdivision, before building near a road.
