Useful Year Round
Most people wouldn’t believe that tennis courts at our mountain area resorts, and pickleball courts to some degree, are used year-round.
During the Summer and Fall they’re used for the purpose they were designed for, playing tennis. But in the Winter and early Spring, tennis courts are often used in a much different way. They hold snow.
Some mountain resorts have no choice but to use their tennis courts to contain the piles of snow removed from driveways and parking lots.
It’s space that gets used throughout the year. Even if it’s not for the original intended purpose.

In The Zone
School is back in session or soon will be in the areas we work and live.
And research shows that students are more comfortable in schools where they feel safe and supported.
When students are in the zone with fewer stressors, they have greater academic, social, and emotional achievements.
So let’s do our part to help them by paying attention and slowing down around school zones.

Visual Upgrade
This weekend is said to be the end of “the dog days of summer,” the hottest days of the year (July 3rd to August 11th.)
Before long school will be back in session. And it will be time for those Autumn home-maintenance projects. But not to worry. Simple upgrades to your property’s curb appeal enhance your property as well.
Visual upgrades can complement your home and landscaping. They can reduce maintenance aggravations and costs. In addition to adding to the attractiveness and security of your property, visual upgrades increase your property values as well.

Classic Celebration
Tahoe Fence is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year. And this week, we also get to enjoy “Hot August Nights.”
What began as a 3-day event in Reno back in 1986, now includes Reno, Sparks, and Virginia City. It has expanded to 10-days of cruises, drag races, music, vendors, and a car auction. With more than 5,000 vehicles, it’s the largest, nostalgic car show in the country.
That’s a classic celebration.

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!

Homemade Recipes Are The Best
It’s that time. This next week (July 25th through the 27th) is Night In The Country.
What started as a Yerington area fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Club more than 20-years ago, has grown into one of the biggest country music fests in the West.
Good music, people, and camping are a homemade recipe for a fun time. So pull on your boots, and get down out of town at this year’s Night In The Country.

Step Up and Rise
Tahoe Fence was asked if we would be able to build a set of stairs from engineered specs to go with a mezzanine railing we worked on. However, there was a catch. The customer wanted to use repurposed materials.
Although this build was outside our comfort zone, it wouldn’t be the 1st set of stairs our shop has built. There was a spiral staircase we did some time ago with ammo can lids as steps, and fence cable as railing for a customer’s tree house.
Tahoe was up to the challenge.
With measurements only, Tahoe’s shop welders recreated this mezzanine staircase with a platform and safety railings. The steps are made of square steel from material shipping racks with cut-offs of expanded metal decking from security gates. The steps are attached to pipe trusses previously used as roof supports. And the safety railing is from scrap, top rail for chain link fencing. After being cleaned up, everything was finished with zinc-rich, galvanized paint.
It not only looks good for our customer, but it fits as well!
With only some minor alteration to the mezzanine railing, the stairs are ready to be anchored in Mound House (Lyon County.)
Sometimes you have to step up out of your comfort zone and rise to the challenge.
Summertime
It’s officially Summer, and Tahoe Fence is working hard to help you relax and enjoy it.
Whether you want to secure your backyard BBQs, or safeguard your pool parties, we’ve got the style to match your summertime fun.
Tahoe has been here 50-years helping to define your outdoor spaces, so you may enjoy the sunshine season with peace of mind.

Special thanks to Hawk and Son Enterprises Inc. for working with us on the awesome retro Tahoe stone columns. They always do outstanding work!
Channeling The Boss
It’s Father’s Day this weekend.
Hopefully, you’re still able to celebrate with your own pops. If not, maybe you have good memories that make you smile whenever you think of him.
Tahoe’s yard dog, Wally, was channeling our Old Man with the stare he gave while sitting in one of the office chairs at Tahoe’s Mound House shop (Lyon County.)
Can picture the Boss looking over the top of his glasses and saying, “Good you’re 15 minutes early. . .”
“Too bad that means you’re 5-minutes late.”
Cheers to our dads that helped make us who we are. And may they be proud of who we’ve grown up to be.
Happy Father’s Day!
