Put a Fence Where?

Posted on by tahoefence

Put a Fence Where? They say January is the mental wellness month. The holidays, along with a new year, are peak times when people experience stress related mental health issues. Family get togethers, expectations, and the uncertainty to come all contribute to this anxiety. How we handle stress, control our emotions, and think clearly to focus on the tasks at hand, all tie into our mental wellness. Tahoe recently experienced our own stressful situation. With several of us asking, put a fence where? The unbelievable answer coming back to us, on top of a 15 to 20-ft high berm! A task that became more daunting with the requirements it be engineered and inspected. Even though Tahoe has a track auger that fit on top of the berm, the size of the holes in relation to our machine had us questioning our sanity. However, using a boom mounted auger, and a concrete pump truck, Tahoe's crews were able to make setting the berm fence a reality. A big shout-out and thank you to Curtis & Sons Construction, and Interstate Concrete Pumping.

Sky’s the Limit

Sky's the Limit Officially, it's a new year. Basically, it's another season. But honestly, our perspective is the same. . . Sky's the limit. Tahoe's crews exemplify this with the completion of another batter's eye fence. This one is 26-feet high, with the posts embedded in reinforced concrete footings in Yerington (Lyon County.)Sky’s the Limit

Cheers to the New Year

Posted on by tahoefence

Cheers to the New Year New Year’s Day represents a fresh start, where we reflect on the year that just ended, set resolutions for the year ahead, and people come together to celebrate. Other common ways people mark this special occasion are by eating good luck food, sharing a midnight kiss, and cheering the New Year. One famous tradition is the singing of "Auld Lang Syne" on New Year’s Eve. This Scottish poem written down by Robert Burns in the 1780s is about preserving old friendships and looking back over the events of the year. “Auld lang syne” roughly translates as “for old times’ sake.” As the lyrics continue on, we are reminded to share a cup of kindness and drink of good-will. Whether you are staying home, or heading out with loved ones, however you celebrate, may 2025 bring you happiness and success. Tahoe Fence wishes you a year filled with kindness and good-will. Thank you for a wonderful 2024, and Happy New Year!

In Time For Winter

Posted on by tahoefence

In Time For Winter With the season officially changing to Winter this weekend, Tahoe's crews have been working to finish up our Lake area projects. With wet weather already paying us visits this Autumn, and more expected this next week, looks like we're completing some of our mountain jobs in time for Winter's arrival. Our crews just finished the last of the snow gates (opened in the Winter to allow snow to be plowed off the pavement) on this 1x8 cedar fence. The fence is supported both on metal posts set in concrete and also attached to concrete retaining walls. The gates are steel cantilever slide gates. And they're faced with the same cedar boards to match this Tahoe built fence in Truckee (Nevada/Placer Counties.)

Go Big

Posted on by tahoefence

Go Big One of Tahoe's customers needed a larger access gate than what they had on their property. So we swapped out the existing 22-ft wide, double swing gates, to go bigger with a 27-ft wide, cantilever slide gate (about 40-ft total length.) The gate opening is now the full width of their driveway. Because of the winds in the area, Tahoe reinforced the bracing on the gate's frame. And a big thank you to Awaxx Systems for providing the gate operator and access controls.

Not So Plain

Posted on by tahoefence

Not So Plain Architectural screens have many uses. They may delineate boundaries, like a walkway and planter area. Screens might be used for protection from the elements. Perforated screens can block direct sunlight while allowing airflow. And can also be used to scatter and help absorb sounds. There's the aesthetic appeal as well. Not-so-plain screens can be visually pleasant to look at. Tahoe's crews were tasked with building these architectural screens in Carson City. Though the design seems simple, the screens are made with both metal posts and planed redwood rails. The rail dimensions alternate, are painted black, and inset horizontally into the posts. These not-so-plain screens separate the AC units from the walkway and help diffuse the sound when the units are running.Not So Plain
