The beauty of Tahoe Fence’s vinyl (PVC) products is in their simplicity and versatility.

The beauty of Tahoe Fence’s vinyl (PVC) products is in their simplicity and versatility. Styles are available that match many variations of our wood and steel fences, including privacy and spaced pickets. They are almost maintenance free.
Normally, it is best to set the PVC posts in concrete. When necessary, We are able to mount the posts to concrete and wood to accommodate existing patios and decks. Upon installation, we notch the rails before inserting them into the posts to provide a clean, secure joint. And because Tahoe Fence makes your gates to match your fence, they are made to fit.
The most common color for PVC fencing is white. However, most styles are also available in tan. There are some other colors, but availability and styles are often limited. There are a multitude of post caps available to dress up whatever fence style you choose and make it distinctly your own.
Where snow and wind loads are a concern, we use metal inserts to stiffen the rails. We can also use metal inserts to add rigidity to the posts as well. It is even possible to make your gates with a metal frame to add strength.

If you do not want to move your fence around natural obstacles, such as trees or boulders, incorporate them into the fence. Tahoe Fence can build most styles of fences up to a natural obstruction in the fence line without attaching to the object.

Our crews are rocking it with this SimTek Ecostone fence install in Yerington.
 
The property gets a stone wall look around the perimeter with the durability of steel reinforced posts, panels, and gates.

Forging Ahead For A Smooth Transition

Forging Ahead For A Smooth Transition
 
Sometimes the material we’re working with or the location of our installs require a creative solution to a particular situation.
 
In these instances, Tahoe Fence strives to keep forging (pun intended) ahead for a smooth transition.

The Compliment Of Ornamental Steel And Wood

The Compliment Of Ornamental Steel And Wood
Ornamental steel and wood work well together. Whether it’s iron panels on wood posts, or wood fences and gates with ornamental steel hardware, each compliments the other.
Ornamental steel hardware may give a refined touch to a rustic fence. While wood adds a sense of warmth and proximity to nature for finished steel panels.

You’ve Got To See This. Take A Peek . . .
 
Add privacy to chain link fencing to keep others from seeing what you’ve got with vinyl slats.
 
New wire can have slats already woven into the fabric. Or like our crews were able to do at a local area middle school, slats may be added to existing wire to help keep people from peeking in.
 
If you’re going to have slats added to an existing chain link fence, be sure to check that the framework (posts and rail/bracing) is strong enough to withstand the increase in resistance to wet weather and wind the slats will add to the existing fence.

Go With The Flow

Go With The Flow
 
A general rule is that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. But sometimes the rules have to be broken, or bent a little.
 
Take this ornamental steel fence our crews installed. The fence goes with the flow of the existing driveways and landscaping gently rounding out the corners.

Yes, it’s Valentine’s Day this weekend. Even if you’re not into the commercial marketing of the holiday, it’s a good time to think of those we hold dear. And to show them we care. After this past year every bit helps.
 
Happy Valentine’s Day.

Emergency Repair Before And After.

Emergency Repair Before And After.
 
Our employees did a a great job on an emergency repair for one of the schools in the area. They had to finish tearing out the existing chain link, posts, and rail that suffered vehicle damage. Then close off the opening left by replacing the damaged material with new and connecting it all to the existing fence.
