First Snow
First Snow Winter may bring cold temperatures and darker days, but it also brings nights spent by the fire, seasonal activities, and nothing more magical than the year’s first snow. We can prepare for the weather by wearing warm layers and keeping vehicles prepped for the elements. This is exactly what Tahoe’s crews are doing while working outside. Tahoe Fence hopes everyone is staying safe and ready for the year’s first snowstorms. Pictured: Black, steel-frame gates with 1×8 redwood boards. Boards are double-faced and overlapping while inset into the frames at Kings Beach (Placer County.)
A Golden Year
A Golden Year Tahoe Fence wishes everyone a golden New Year with joy, peace, and cheer. As for us, 2024 is our golden year marking fifty years in business. Tahoe Fence was founded in 1974 and was incorporated in both California and Nevada in 1975. With this exciting milestone, we are grateful for all the support and trust put into Tahoe Fence from our customers, staff, and community. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey. We couldn’t be more excited to celebrate Tahoe Fence’s 50th anniversary with you. Here’s to another year of excellence, growth, and happiness.

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas From all of us at Tahoe Fence, Merry Christmas. Wishing you our warmest regards and all the best this winter and holiday season. Pictured: Tahoe’s gray-slatted privacy fence with a candy-cane Christmas wreath in Carson City.
Holiday Cheer
Holiday Cheer After this past week, sure is nice to see some more holiday cheer. So a big thank you to our neighbors in the Comstock Industrial Park here in Mound House. Like V and T Rock Inc. and ARMAC Construction, LLC a couple of the businesses that have gone all out to decorate. Their Christmas lights shining before dawn help to start our day with a smile. Can you ever be too old for Christmas lights? Pictured: Tahoe’s holiday decorations this year. Lighted Christmas trees outlined on our front, green-slatted fence. Our reclaimed PVC-Post Snowmen for outside and our inside version made from PVC cutoffs. Tahoe’s recycled, woven-wire Santa wreath with lights. And our scrap material gingerbread men window decorations.
Good To Your Neighbors
Good To Your Neighbors It’s that festive time of year when people get into the spirit of the holidays and seem to be more neighborly to one another. When strangers act like neighbors that get along with each other. Or maybe it’s just our coffee and peppermint bark creamer talking. Pictured: Good-neighbor style wood fence (alternating panels) in Tahoe with 1st snow on ground.
It’s Cold Outside
It’s Cold Outside While our afternoons have been relatively bright and tolerable, it’s cold outside in the morning. Ever so evident this am with slippery walks, driveways, and roads. Nothing like working inside when it’s cold outside! Pictured: Inside chain link security enclosure with gates at Verdi warehouse (Washoe County.)
Hey Turkey
Hey Turkey It’s Thanksgiving. The holiday most people associate with turkey. Whether it’s real turkey, a tofu turkey, the John Madden made famous Turducken (a turkey stuffed with a duck which itself is stuffed with a chicken,) a Turkey-Trot, or you have family that behave like turkeys. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving.

People Business
People Business Tahoe Fence is a fence and gate contractor that does both installations and material sales. Which means we’re in the people business. Because people are our business. We were sadly reminded of this the past week. Our friend, neighbor, and an occasional customer passed away. Tahoe builds fences. But more importantly to us, we build relationships. You will be missed, Bob. Pictured: Some of the custom work we did for our friend over the years. An ornamental steel stair + landing railing, and 4-rail PVC ranch rail in West Carson City.
Thank You
Thank You This weekend we celebrate Veterans Day. We honor and thank our veterans and the active-duty members of our military. If you have the opportunity to attend, check out the Virginia City Veterans Day Parade this weekend. You’ll get to see the CHS NJROTC cadets. Their Raider Team had a strong showing at the JROTC National Raider Challenge this past week at Fort Knox, Kentucky. They were able to bring home trophies for several of their outstanding performances. Pictured: Flags flying above Northern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetary in Fernley (Lyon County.)
Still Looking Good
Still Looking Good Tahoe’s crews had to relocate an existing steel post and attached stone/masonry column we originally worked on 20 + years ago. In addition, we had to remake part of the scalloped-top drive gate to fit the new opening. Still looking good even with all the years.
