Fences and gates throughout the ranch were determined to be contributing features to the overall historic significance of the ranch. Three sides of the property are enclosed by boundary fences, some dating to Rex Bell era (1931-51), and others rebuilt or newly constructed during the Karl Weikel period (1951-1990) or by Viceroy Gold in the 1990s.

Fence construction varies, with combinations of split or whole redwood tie posts, juniper spacers, mesh wire or barbed wire, occasional steel posts, horizontal boards, and salvaged steel pipe. There are historic wood gates at a south entrance to the property and at the original access to the water pipeline and road. An internal fence, possibly from the Bell period, acts as a separation between the cattle-working area and the residential complex. Although the fences have been subject to various repair and replacement campaigns, they retain their original configuration and many of their original materials. The older fences remain in fair condition, with some damage caused by encroaching native vegetation, seasonal water run-off in several washes running through the property, and general lack of maintenance. The two range fences were damaged when the road bypass was cut through them. Several of the gates have fallen and are inoperable.

The Proposed Action would include some removal, reuse, and/or reconfiguration of existing sections of wood and wire fencing and gates. Boundary fences and gates would be repaired using historically appropriate materials and methods for operations and security purposes. Fencing that is not historic or required for property delineation would be removed. For example, in some locations existing fencing would be removed to accommodate new development, parking, or walkways. The removed fence sections would be reused, when possible, for interpretive purposes, at the ranch entryway, or to replace other sections of dilapidated fence on the 40-acre ranch parcel.
