Fence installation in Buhl, Idaho
Fences for the west end of Twin Falls County, from in-town backyards to the farms along the Thousand Springs Scenic Byway.
Buhl is in the western half of Twin Falls County, on U.S. Route 30 and the Thousand Springs Scenic Byway, and had 4,558 residents in 2020. It was founded in 1906 on the old Oregon Trail and named for Frank H. Buhl, an investor in the Carey Act irrigation project that opened the south side of the Magic Valley to farming. Buhl calls itself the Trout Capital of the World, thanks to the hatcheries nearby. Town lots sit close to farm ground, so fence calls range from backyard privacy to pasture lines.
What Buhl property owners ask about
- Privacy fences for homes in town
- Chain link for dogs and big gardens
- Wire and pipe fencing for livestock
- Wide gates for farm equipment
- Repairs after wind across open fields
Rocky, gravelly ground
Idaho State University's digital atlas notes "melon gravel" bars lining the canyon west of Twin Falls near Buhl and Hagerman, a leftover of the Bonneville Flood that deepened the canyon. Ground with large rock or basalt near the surface can make post holes slow work. Ask the contractor how they'll get posts to full depth if they hit rock.
Town rules, county rules and canals
Lots inside Buhl city limits follow the City of Buhl's rules, and rural parcels follow Twin Falls County's. Canals and laterals cross much of the farm ground here; a fence on an irrigation entity's easement needs its written permission under Idaho Code 42-1209.

Do I need permission to fence along a canal near Buhl?
If the fence would be on the canal's easement, Idaho law requires the irrigation entity's written permission. Ask them first.
