Black, ornamental steel railings by Tahoe Fence for decks, landings, & ramp in Carson CityIt’s windy again, hold on.
 
The gusts are picking up so hold onto something. Like this black, steel railing Tahoe installed in Carson City.
 
Tahoe’s crew did a great job securing 5-different decks, landings, and ramp. The railing looks fantastic and provide safety from the elevation changes, and something to hold onto (using the stairs and in the wind.)
 
A special shout out to Northeast Masonry. Paul and his masons did an awesome job on the brick work and concrete Tahoe used to anchor the posts. They are truly knowledgeable and skilled craftsmen. Thank you.

Baseball’s Back

Tahoe's crews had a chance to add to a shade structure we made for the softball bleachers at CHS with a new, shade screen. Baseball’s Back
 
Professional baseball officially begins this week (Thursday 3/31.)
 
Get outside. Enjoy the weather. And support your teams, whether they’re professional, community leagues, or area school baseball and softball teams.
 
Tahoe’s crews had a chance to add to a shade structure we made for the softball bleachers at CHS with a new, shade screen.
 
Now get out there and cheer for your teams to swing for the fences.
 
Do you know why baseball fields look alike, but the sizes vary?
It’s because there’s only a minimum requirement for the distance of an outfield fence from home plate. In softball, 200 ft is the recommended distance. In Baseball, 250 ft is the minimum distance from the outfield fence to home plate.

Sleep, Shamrocks, and Spring.

What a week. Lose an hour of sleep. Then celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, and the arrival of Spring.
 
In keeping with the green theme, Tahoe’s decorated its office door with a chain link Shamrock (Shamrock means young clover.)
 
Why not a 4-leaf clover? Because a 3-leaf is hard enough to cut into shape.
 
And Tahoe’s crews are getting into the spirit with this green, slatted wire enclosure. It’s an 8-foot high, chain link ladder enclosure with barbed wire, green privacy slats, and an egress gate with panic hardware in Yerington (Lyon County.)
 
Happy St. Patrick’s Day and Spring.
 
May more of your life’s blessings show
than the number of shamrocks known to grow.

Sometimes a dogear fence needs to be kicked up a notch. Not too much, just a little.
 
Take this redwood, dogear fence Tahoe’s crews built in Gardnerville (Douglas County.) It has a 2×12 bottom kicker board. Typically, kicker boards are used to raise the height of a fence. Or when the fence also acts as a retaining wall.
 
When fence boards sit on top of a kicker, the structure gets additional support to resist sagging. This can be beneficial in snow laden areas such as around Lake Tahoe.

Beaded Fences

Aristocrat style iron with an arched, double-rail gate Tahoe's crews installed at Lake Tahoe. Beaded Fences

This week it’s Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday,) the last day of Carnival.

If you are fortunate enough to be in New Orleans celebrating, you might see some of the city’s ornate iron fences decorated in beads, a Carnival tradition. The colors of Mardi Gras – gold, green, and purple – represent power, faith, and justice.

Although we don’t typically decorate Tahoe’s fences with beads, we feel they’re still something to look at and worth celebrating.

Let the good times roll (Laissez les bons temps rouler.)
