A good fence does a lot of quiet work. It keeps the dog in the yard, marks where your property ends and your neighbor’s begins, keeps livestock where they belong, and gives your family a private place to enjoy the outdoors. At BnR Home Solutions, we build fences and gates that do that job for years — set deep, hung square, and finished the way we’d want them on our own land. We’re a local company based right here in Monticello, and we know the yards, the soil, and the frost that Indiana fences have to live with.

Whether you’re closing in a backyard in town, fencing a pasture out in the county, or replacing a tired old line at the lake, we do honest work and explain your options in plain language. We’re fully insured, and with over 25 years of construction experience, we’ve built fences for homeowners, farmers, and lake properties across the area.

Fence styles for every property

No two properties call for the same fence, so we install the full range and help you pick what actually fits your goals and your budget.

Wood privacy fence is still the favorite for backyards in Monticello and the surrounding towns. A solid cedar or treated-pine privacy fence blocks sightlines, cuts wind, and gives you a real sense of enclosure. Built right — with proper post spacing and rot-resistant materials — it holds up beautifully to Indiana seasons.

Vinyl and PVC fence is the low-maintenance choice. No painting, no staining, no chasing down loose boards every spring. It comes in privacy, semi-privacy, and picket styles and keeps its clean look for decades.

Chain-link fence remains the practical workhorse for pet containment, play areas, and securing a yard or work site without breaking the budget. Galvanized or vinyl-coated, it’s affordable and it lasts.

Aluminum ornamental fence gives you the classic wrought-iron look without the rust and upkeep. It’s a popular pick around Lake Freeman and Lake Shafer where homeowners want to define a yard without blocking the view.

Farm, ag, and field fencing is everyday work out here in rural White County. We install woven wire, high-tensile, barbed wire, split-rail, and no-climb horse fence for pastures, paddocks, gardens, and property perimeters — sized and braced for the animals and acreage you’re working with.

Custom wood and metal gates

A fence is only as good as the way you get through it. We build and hang custom gates to match — from a simple backyard walk-through to wide double drive gates and heavy farm gates that swing true even after years of use. Wood or metal, we weld and frame our gates to carry their own weight without sagging, and we set the gate posts stronger than the run so the hardware stays square. If you’re planning an automatic gate opener, we can build the gate to accept one — see our Gate Operators page for that related service.

Posts set for Indiana frost

Most fence problems trace back to the posts, and most post problems trace back to frost. In our part of Indiana the ground freezes deep, and a post that isn’t set below the frost line will heave, lean, and pull the whole line out of level over a few winters. We dig to proper frost depth, set posts in concrete where the job calls for it, and brace corners and gate posts so your fence stays plumb season after season. It’s the part you never see, and it’s the part that decides whether a fence lasts.

Property lines, permits, and containment

Before we dig, we help you get the details right. That means talking through where your property line actually sits, whether a survey is worth pulling, and checking local setback rules or HOA requirements so your fence goes up clean the first time. We can advise on permit considerations for your area, and we always recommend calling 811 to locate utilities before any post goes in the ground. For pet and livestock containment, the fence type, height, and spacing all matter — a fence that holds a Labrador won’t hold a determined goat — and we’ll match the build to what you need contained.

What it costs

Fence pricing depends on the material, the height, the length of the run, the terrain, and how many gates and corners are involved. We’re glad to give you a general range early on — but that’s a ballpark only; every job gets a free on-site estimate before you commit to anything. No surprises, no pressure. We back our installation with a 2-year workmanship warranty in addition to any manufacturer material coverage.

We proudly serve Monticello and the surrounding White County communities — Brookston, Reynolds, Buffalo, Wolcott, Chalmers, Idaville, Burnettsville, Monon, Delphi, Lafayette, and West Lafayette, including the Lake Freeman and Lake Shafer areas and rural farm properties throughout the county.

Frequently asked questions

What's the best fence for keeping my dog in the yard?

It depends on your dog. For most pets, a solid privacy fence or a well-built chain-link does the job. For diggers or jumpers, we adjust height and add measures to keep them contained. Tell us about your dog and we’ll recommend a fence that actually holds.

Do I need a permit to build a fence in Monticello or White County?

It can depend on your location, fence height, and whether you’re in a subdivision with an HOA. We’ll help you understand what your project may require so it goes up right the first time. Locating your property line and calling 811 before digging is always part of a proper job.

How deep do you set fence posts?

We set posts to proper frost depth for our part of Indiana and concrete them where the job calls for it, with extra bracing at corners and gates. Setting posts below the frost line is what keeps a fence from heaving and leaning over the winters.

Can you install farm and livestock fencing on a rural property?

Yes. Field and ag fencing is common work for us in White County. We install woven wire, high-tensile, barbed wire, split-rail, and horse fence sized for your animals and acreage.

Do you build gates to fit an automatic opener?

We do. We can build and hang a gate ready for automation. Automatic gate openers are a related service — see our Gate Operators page for details.

Do you offer free estimates?

Always. We come out, walk the property with you, and give you a written estimate at no cost and no obligation.
