Cheers To A New Year And New Possibilities
Cheers To A New Year And New Possibilities It’s the start of a new work week and a new year. However, a new year also means new possibilities. And learning to write “2022” on everything. To show what’s possible, our crews have been working on this beautiful, horizontal fence near Stateline and South Lake Tahoe (Douglas and El Dorado County). It’s tongue and groove cedar boards. The boards are sandwiched between black, steel posts and metal rails.
Built For The Boys And Girls
Built For The Boys And Girls It always feels a little more like the holidays with a white Christmas. And Mother Nature didn’t disappoint this season. Even though shoveling snow gets tiresome (we’re still digging out,) it’s fun for the kids and kids at heart to play in. Before the snow piled up, our crews were able to build this beautiful redwood, shadow box fence with steel posts for the Boys & Girls Club in South Lake Tahoe (El Dorado County.) Did you know the Boys and Girls Club of America dates back to 1860?
Tis The Winter Season
Tis The Winter Season Our crews did a great job finishing up this black, ornamental steel railing at an area brew pub in time to be decorated for the holiday season. And since it is the Winter Holiday Season, Tahoe Fence has more free firewood and reclaimed wood fencing. We have another full container sitting outside the front of our yard. Take what you need. If you don’t need all of it, then please leave some for the next person. Merry Christmas. Pictured: Black, steel railing around outdoor dining area at a Carson City brew pub. Full firewood bin outside the yard at Tahoe Fence.
A Rock & A Hard Place
A Rock & A Hard Place Our crews were literally working between rocks (boulders) and hard places (tree roots and stone retaining walls and steps) to get this black, hand rail in before the snow. We had to get creative and cantilever the railing through the rocks and over the wall to be accessible from the steps. Props to our crews for taking what they were given and making it work. From the customer: “Looks really good. And thanks so much for getting the railing in before the snow. I know your teams must be extremely busy.” – B.W. (December 2021) Pictured: Black, steel hand rail along stone/rock wall and steps in Tahoma (Placer/El Dorado Counties.)
Where’s The Snow
Where’s The Snow Our crews did a great job on this brown, chain link well enclosure at Palisades Tahoe (formerly Squaw Valley in the Olympic Valley.) Completion took a bit longer because of snow that piled up during construction. At the time these pictures were taken, you can just see where the snow remaining is at the edge of our work area and on the peak in the background. Forecast says more snow coming this week. Palisades Tahoe looks good in winter with snow (flashback 1960 Winter Olympics.) Did you know the 1960 Winter Olympics were the first in the US to be televised?
Use The Crosswalk
Use The Crosswalk It’s time to go back to school/work now that the Thanksgiving holiday is over. To help everyone get back into the swing of things, our crews did a great job on this student drop off/pick up school fence. The purpose is to keep kids and people safe by requiring them to use the crosswalks rather than attempt to go through moving vehicle traffic. Pictured: 3 foot high, chain link fence through asphalt separating parking lot and student drop off/pick up zone in Fernley (Lyon County.) Side note: Crosswalks have been used since the early 1950s (supposedly originating in Great Britain) in an attempt to protect pedestrians.
Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving Family. Friends. Football. Food. And a holiday. Perfect. Pictured: Virginia Creeper, lilac bushes, and grape vines this November growing on an existing, redwood Tahoe Fence in Carson City.
Decorating For The Holidays
Decorating For The Holidays It’s that time of year when people want to start decorating for the holidays. Decorative post caps? Yeah, that counts. Our crews did a nice job dressing up this property with a stepped, ornamental steel on wood posts (topped by decorative post caps) in the Tahoe Keys in South Lake Tahoe (El Dorado County.)
Happy Veterans Day
Happy Veterans Day Safety and security aren’t always recognized until we are without. Our enduring gratitude to America’s veterans and their families. Your service and sacrifice keep us safe and secure. Pictured: Guardian style, ornamental steel fence and top-track, cantilever gate at Carson City business park.
Nailed It
Nailed It Our crews nailed it with this dogear fence on steel posts. In order to match grade with the neighboring fences, pressure treated 2x12s were used as bottom kickers. Pictured: 6′ high, dogear wood on steel posts with pressure treated kicker boards along road embankment in Tahoe Vista (Placer County.)
