Work of Art

Posted on by tahoefence

Work of Art The Met, New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art, opened to the public around this week back in 1872 (over 150+ years ago.) The Met is considered one of the World's premiere museums. It displays some of the foremost collections and works of art. This cable railing Tahoe Fence created is itself a work of line art. Tahoe's crews did a great job with the angles of the layout around the terraced yard. And all the staggered cable railing, closer at the bottom for smaller dogs with larger spaces at the top for visibility, could make you feel like a mad, creative genius with all the measuring!

In the Spirit of Valentine’s Day

In the Spirit of Valentine's Day Who says cats and dogs can't get along in the spirit of Valentine's Day? Okay, technically this is a Bobcat, one of Tahoe's digging augers. But our mascot Wally loves when it's set up to plow snow. From all of us at Tahoe Fence, have a happy and snowy Valentine's Day.

Time Tested Classic

Posted on by tahoefence

Time Tested Classic The use of beautiful ornamental iron and appealing brick columns has been demonstrated in construction throughout history. Iron railings originated in the Middle Ages. While fired bricks were used in ancient Rome with the building of the Imperial Forum. Then during the Victorian era, the use of stout brick columns and bases to support decorative iron craftsmanship grew in status. This wonderful combination shows why it's a time-tested classic. Tahoe's crews recently completed this classic version in Carson City. An older, weathered picket fence was replaced with ornamental steel panels and brick columns. A thank you and shout out to Hakansson Masonry. Their work is always a class act. These columns were exactly what the customer wanted, and they were even able to match the existing brick on the house.

When a Pig Whistles

Posted on by tahoefence

When a Pig Whistles This weekend it's already the beginning of February, which means another Groundhog Day. Supposedly, if the groundhog sees its shadow on the morning of February 2nd, there will be 6 more weeks of Winter. But did you know groundhogs, which are related to the squirrel family, are also known as whistling pigs? They catcall at prospective mates, in order to attract their attention. Unless snow is piling up and the roads are a mess, or when a pig whistles a weather prognostication as such, Tahoe's crews will still be working to knock the jobs out.

Built On Safety

Posted on by tahoefence

Built On Safety Tahoe's crews built these steel railings for safety around the elevated walkways and stairs at The Children's Cabinet in Virginia City (Storey County.) The Children's Cabinet knows about keeping children safe and families together, since that's been it's mission the past 40 years. Through their services like, Safe Place, family counseling, their food market (food bank/pantry), education and support services, and community and business involvement, The Children's Cabinet helps more than 15,000 Nevada families each year! Tahoe's steel railings are built on posts that are welded to flange plates and bolted to the concrete walkways. The flanges and bolts are covered and hidden with custom, decorative post bases.Built On Safety

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.)
