Florida’s public lands are wild and diverse. From sprawling cattle pastures to sensitive wetlands, fencing here isn’t just about marking a boundary—it’s about precision, durability, and trust.
At Bomann Fencing, we’ve built our reputation tackling these exact challenges. Our recent large-scale projects for the State of Florida at Tenoroc Wildlife Management Area and Blackwater River State Park show how we get the job done right.
This wasn’t just about winning a competitive bid. It was about proving we could deliver custom livestock fencing solutions across vastly different environments. Here’s how we did it.
The Challenge: More Than Just a Fence Line
Every project is different, but state lands present unique hurdles. We weren’t just installing a fence; we were providing a critical land management tool across two very different parks.
- At Tenoroc Wildlife Management Area, we worked across 7,300 acres of reclaimed mining land. The terrain shifted from swampy lowlands to rocky ridges. Our job was to remove old, failing fences and install a secure perimeter to control livestock access and protect a vital wildlife habitat.
- At Blackwater River State Park, the mission was to install new livestock fencing that blended into a pristine wilderness of longleaf pine forests and protected wetlands, all while keeping public trails safe.
In both cases, we faced Florida’s toughest conditions: flood zones, remote access paths, unpredictable weather, and the need to work around native wildlife.
Our Process: Partnership From Start to Finish
A project plan on paper is one thing. Executing it on the ground is another. We believe the best results come from listening first.
While we followed the state’s approved plans, we made it a priority to talk with the people who know the land best—the park rangers, project managers, and land use coordinators. These conversations helped us understand the intent behind the plans.
This led to smarter work. For example, we rerouted sections to protect animal burrows we discovered at Blackwater and adjusted layouts at Tenoroc to improve water flow for wildlife. We didn’t change the vision; we helped make it a reality by acting as a true partner, not just a contractor.
The Solution: Custom Livestock Fencing Built to Last
Our work began by carefully removing miles of old, hazardous fencing. We made sure to minimize environmental disruption and recycle materials whenever possible, leaving the land clean and ready for an upgrade.
Then, we installed new livestock fencing systems designed to endure the elements and meet each park’s specific goals. We used a strategic combination of materials:
- Class 3 Galvanized Graduated Field Fence: A durable and flexible fence perfect for containing livestock across uneven terrain.
- Hi-Tensile Barbed Wire: Added in key areas for extra security and reinforcement.
- Custom Gates and Corrals: Installed to make rotational grazing and park maintenance easier for state personnel.
The result was a fencing system that was strong, functional, and built to blend into the natural landscape.
The Results: Stronger Fences, Safer Parks
A finished job for us is about the lasting value we leave behind. The new livestock fencing at these parks delivered clear results:
- Stronger Grazing Infrastructure: The fences allow for responsible and controlled grazing, a key part of the state’s land management strategy.
- Improved Public Safety: Clear boundaries keep visitors on safe trails and away from grazing animals or sensitive ecological areas.
- A Trusted Partnership: By delivering on time, on budget, and with clear communication, we solidified our reputation as a reliable partner for complex government projects.
