Ready for 2021?

Here’s to putting a stout fence around 2020 to keep this past year from getting out again. And to wishing you all a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year.

Happy New Year!

Oh, Deer!

Christmas is almost here.

May your Holidays be merry and bright.

And that the Christmas Star brings you comfort each Winter’s night.

What’s the benefit to having a fence in the Winter?

It’s a great way to tell how deep the snow is.

“Baby, It’s Cold Outside” . . .

“Baby, It’s Cold Outside” . . .

The song’s name says it all. As we get closer to the first day of Winter, the days are getting shorter, and we’re getting cold, wet weather.

Here are some winter tips for your fences and gates to keep you from getting left out in the cold:

If you need to keep your gates in one position (like closed for your kids or pets,) block up under the gates near the latch side. This will help keep them from binding up under the weight of snow/ice.

If you don’t need your gates in the closed position, leave them open or take them off (if small enough.) It will make it easier if you need to clear snow.

Remember to keep locks, or any metal-on-metal moving parts lubricated and clear of snow and ice to keep from freezing up when it gets really cold.

And probably most important, don’t use automated gates as snow plows to clear the driveway. Unless you like to keep fence companies busy with repairs!

Thank goodness the weekend is near. It’s been a week of big challenges and surprises. . .

Big, big, surprises!

Chain link with barbed wire to keep out the bad guys. . .

Solid wood screening the view from onlooking eyes. . .

Split rail to stop the damage from wandering mustangs . . .

These are a few of our favorite thangs!

Need a laugh?

Need a laugh?

Looks like the Elf On The Shelf even needs to quarantine this year.

Hopefully, Santa’s immune and doesn’t become a super-spreader on Christmas Eve . . .

Yeah, probably getting a lump of coal in the stocking for going after a laugh at Santa’s expense!

Need something to be Thankful for?

2020 has made several of us feel like turkeys this year. Thankfully 2020 is almost over.

To everyone trying to make it from day to day, to our employees, our customers, our family and friends . . .

Happy Thanksgiving!

We may have the gates you need for your access control project.
