Opposites Attract
We’re in the thick of Summer now. Which means it’s hot, smokey, and we are at an increased risk of fires.
Because of this, many insurance companies, fire departments, and jurisdictions have been or are starting to require non-combustible materials around homes and structures. This could include landscaping or fences.
Many like the natural beauty and privacy that redwood and cedar fences offer. And there are non-combustible material options, including slatted chain link or screened ornamental steel, that complement the look of wood.
The smooth modern appearance of black ornamental steel, while contrasting the rustic appeal of redwood and cedar, creates a visually appealing combination. Opposites do attract!
