Buckley Fence, LLC

What Buckley Fence, LLC does

Buckley Fence, LLC is a privately held, founder-led manufacturer of premium steel board horse fencing systems, headquartered in Commerce City, Colorado. The company was founded in 2007 by inventor Jim Buckley, whose prior work includes bringing disc brakes to mountain bikes and developing high-energy/precision systems for motorcycle brake discs, applying that mechanical engineering background to the steel board fence category. Its core product is a galvanized steel post-and-rail fence with architectural-grade powder coating, distinguished by two proprietary design features: a lock spacer system that eliminates all nails, screws, and fasteners (rails are inserted into pre-punched posts and locked via internal spacers), and a bend-buckle-release safety mechanism that allows rails to flex, cushion impact, and release under extreme pressure to prevent serious injury to horses. Supporting products include Steel Board Gates in 4/8/12-foot configurations, the EZ Latch two-way gate latch, a steel Hay Feeder, and a line of accessories (wire mesh clips, hot wire insulators, arena footing brackets, Z-bar rail reinforcement, solar light caps, drop anchors, and boomerang brackets).

The company makes money primarily through sale of fencing materials and gates, priced by the linear foot (material roughly $7-$10/ft; installed $9-$12/ft), supplemented by sale of hardware accessories and professional installation services. Its go-to-market is a hybrid model: direct inside-sales (phone/email), a self-serve online quoting tool (Buckley Draw), a Picket-branded nationwide network of independent installers, and a dealer program for fence industry resellers. Primary customer segments are horse and equestrian property owners, ranch and farm operations, and high-end estate properties; reference accounts include University of Georgia Veterinary School, Oregon State University College of Veterinary Medicine, Kentucky Horse Park, North Carolina Hunt Horse Complex, and Lazy Boy's corporate headquarters. Distribution is U.S.-nationwide with international shipping available, and the company has been operating continuously since 2007 as a small, 1-10 employee, founder-owned LLC with no disclosed institutional funding.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Behlen Country: Diversified manufacturer of farm, ranch, and equine equipment including fencing, gates, and stall systems. Larger incumbent serving the same ranch/equestrian customer base with a broader product portfolio.
• Priefert: Large, established manufacturer of equine and livestock equipment including stalls, fencing, and ranch infrastructure. Broader incumbent with overlapping equine fencing products, larger dealer network, and significantly greater scale than Buckley Fence.
• Tarter Farm and Ranch: Large-scale manufacturer of farm and ranch fencing, gates, and livestock equipment. Comparable to Buckley in targeting ranch and pasture containment, but operates at substantially greater scale and product breadth.

Direct peers

• HorseGuard: Specialty manufacturer of electric tape and wire fencing for horses. Comparable as a niche equine fencing brand targeting the same horse-owner segment, with a different (electric) containment approach.
• Centaur Fencing Systems: Manufacturer of flexible horse fencing systems (polymer rail, coated wire) serving horse owners and equestrian facilities. Direct competitor in the equestrian containment category, though with a different material technology approach.
• RAMM Horse Fencing and Stalls: Manufacturer and distributor of horse fencing systems, stall components, and equine facility products. Closest direct peer to Buckley, offering competing fence solutions (flex fence, rail systems) to the same horse-owner and equestrian facility market.
• Classic Equine Equipment: Industry leader in horse stalls and stable equipment with 20+ year history. Directly comparable to Buckley Fence as a specialty equine equipment manufacturer serving the same horse-owner customer base, with overlapping focus on premium, safety-engineered products.

Emerging players

• Equine Fencing Solutions (by Cross Acres Farm): Smaller specialty equine fencing provider. Emerging/regional player overlapping with Buckley's horse containment niche but with significantly less scale, brand recognition, and product breadth.
