Go With The Flow
Go With The Flow A general rule is that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. But sometimes the rules have to be broken, or bent a little. Take this ornamental steel fence our crews installed. The fence goes with the flow of the existing driveways and landscaping gently rounding out the corners.

A good excuse to think of those we care about . . .
A good excuse to think of those we care about . . . Yes, it’s Valentine’s Day this weekend. Even if you’re not into the commercial marketing of the holiday, it’s a good time to think of those we hold dear. And to show them we care. After this past year every bit helps. Happy Valentine’s Day. Pictured: Old fence wood love seat with lights for Valentine’s.
Emergency Repair Before And After.
Emergency Repair Before And After. Our employees did a a great job on an emergency repair for one of the schools in the area. They had to finish tearing out the existing chain link, posts, and rail that suffered vehicle damage. Then close off the opening left by replacing the damaged material with new and connecting it all to the existing fence. Pictured: Before and after chain link fence repair from vehicle damage in Fernley (Lyon County.)
A gate with a view . . .
A gate with a view . . . Our crews do great work that is nice to look at. But sometimes you just can’t compare to the existing view. Pictured: Tongue and groove horizontal cedar boards on a metal frame gate with an amazing look at Lake Tahoe from the West Shore (Placer County.)
What to do with all this snow?
What to do with all this snow? Get a grip. It’s slippery with all the snow and ice Winter has left. Consider hand rails in high traffic areas where it’s feasible to help prevent weather related slips and falls. Pictured: Galvanized hand rail, fabricated on site. Then removed and powder coated black and reinstalled at Northstar in Truckee (Placer and Nevada Counties.)
Weather signs?
Weather signs? As people who were born and raised here, we’re fairly confident in our ability to recognize signs in the weather. . . It’s a snow day! We need the moisture even though it makes it difficult to put trucks and crews out in this. Be safe if you’re out enjoying the snow. And remember – if you have a damaged fence either from the snow, a wild snow-blower with a mind of its own, or a vehicle that needed your fence to stop – we’ll be out to get you those estimates as soon as we can safely get our trucks on the roads.
Nailed it!
Nailed it! Our crews were able to complete this redwood, box style fence with gates before the winter storms arrived this past weekend at Tahoe. Pictured: Redwood box fence with 4×6 posts, 2×6 rails and cap sandwiching 1×6 overlapped boards at Incline Village (Washoe County.)
Inside Security Enclosures? Yes, we do that.
Yes, we do inside security enclosures. We are able to build them out of chain link, wire mesh, ornamental steel, even sports netting. That’s right, we once built an inside soccer enclosure! We can provide swing gates, slide gates, and pass-through egresses to fit each install location. They can be set up with standard hardware. Or depending on the site requirements, we can provided self-closing hinges, panic hardware, and even automated access control.

Is it true that what goes up must come down?
Is it true that what goes up must come down? Probably. So let’s recognize guardrail and its battle against the force of gravity. Helping to keep what is on your deck, balcony, and stairs from coming down the wrong way. Pictured: Deck and stair ornamental steel safety railings at Crystal Bay (Washoe County.)
Some people say the way to get noticed is to make a grand entrance . . .
Some people say the way to get noticed is to make a grand entrance . . . Biased ornamental steel panels mounted to brick columns and leading to a tilt-up gate at the top of a driveway is a grand entrance. And when the gate is up in the open position, it gets noticed.
