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 1×8 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.)

Continuing A Tradition Of Excellence

All of us at Tahoe Fence are grateful to be celebrating our 50th-year in business.

And it means that much more considering:

Tahoe was voted as one of the best fence companies by the “‘Nevada Appeal’ Best of Carson City 2024.” And the only fence company to be voted one of the best consecutively since 2009!

Then we were voted as one of the best fence companies by “‘The Record-Courier’ Best of Carson Valley 2024.”

And finally, Tahoe was voted as one of the best sub-contractors, and the only fence company nominated, by the “‘Northern Nevada Business Weekly’ Best in Business 2024.”

Thank you to all who continue to support us. You’re the reason Tahoe Fence continues a tradition of excellence from the mountains through the valleys.

Happy Thanksgiving

From all of us at Tahoe Fence, thank you to our customers, employees, family, and friends.

Have a healthy and happy Thanksgiving.

Not So Plain

Architectural screens have many uses.

They may delineate boundaries, like a walkway and planter area.

Screens might be used for protection from the elements. Perforated screens can block direct sunlight while allowing airflow. And can also be used to scatter and help absorb sounds.

There’s the aesthetic appeal as well. Not-so-plain screens can be visually pleasant to look at.

Tahoe’s crews were tasked with building these architectural screens in Carson City.

Though the design seems simple, the screens are made with both metal posts and planed redwood rails. The rail dimensions alternate, are painted black, and inset horizontally into the posts.

These not-so-plain screens separate the AC units from the walkway and help diffuse the sound when the units are running.

Weather NV

So it’s starting to feel like Fall this week.

It’s getting colder in both the evenings and mornings. There’s been rain in the valleys, and snow on the mountains.

And it’s been windy!

We don’t envy windy conditions, but there’s a lot around our part of the Sierra Nevada. And unfortunately the wind huffs and puffs, and blows down too many fences.

If this has happened to you, call or text us. Tahoe will work with you to build a fence the weather envies.

Thanks and Respect

This weekend we honor America’s veterans.

One of the best ways to participate is at Virginia City. Their Veterans Day celebration (Monday, November 11th at 11am) checks all the boxes.

An annual, main street parade in Nevada celebrating our veterans.

To our veterans, all our thanks and respect.

Play To Your Strengths

Halloween is here. And it’s alright if you don’t already have a costume for trick-or-treating, or for that group party.

Remember, keep it simple and play to your strengths.

It works for us.

Tahoe’s hedge-slats in chain link is one of our favorite disguises. Great for surprising trick-or-treaters and employees on a job site!

Have a happy and safe Halloween.

AND REMEMBER TO SET YOUR CLOCKS BACK 1-HOUR THIS WEEKEND!

Birthday NV

We’re celebrating Nevada’s 160th (1864 to 2024) year as a state this weekend.

When we were kids, Nevada Day was celebrated on Nevada Day, October 31st.

In Carson City, Halloween trick or treating was done on October 30th. So you could enjoy your candy the next day while watching the Nevada Day Parade.

And if you could manage it, go out trick or treating again Halloween night in the areas around Carson.

Now we’re used to celebrating on a three-day weekend. But there was something special about two nights of trick or treating growing up!

However you wish to celebrate, have a happy and safe Nevada Day.

A History of Working Hard

This week in 1869, work began on the Sutro Tunnel (nearly 4 miles long). It connected the Savage Mine in Virginia City close to where Dayton is today.

In the Black Rock Desert, the supersonic land speed record (over 750 mph) was 1st set this week in 1997.

And this week, Tahoe Fence was gratefully surprised to learn we were voted one of the best fence companies by “‘The Record-Courier’ Best of Carson Valley” for 2024.

Thank you to all who voted for us. We hope Tahoe’s hard work these past 50-years, and work going forward, continues to make a lasting and positive impact for our area as well.
