In the land of 10,000 lakes, nobody loves a day out on the water quite like us Minnesotans. And while we have our fair share of natural swimming holes to choose from, there still something lovely about having a pool in your own backyard. Unlike lakes, however, pools come with a series of maintenance and security needs, including fencing. That’s because even a small body of water can pose a drowning threat to pets and young children. During the Summer Everyone likes to take a

Outdoor sports are a staple of many an American childhood, especially in the Midwest. But when you rock up to a pickleball court, you’re probably not paying attention to the chain link fence that surrounds it. And if you are, it’s because a carefully engineered gate is controlling your entry. But that’s the beauty of thoughtfully designed, well-built fences: you see them as a part of the whole experience, not some random structure hanging around. In this week’s blog post, we’

Gone are the days when a simple “Private Property, Please Keep Out” sign was enough to secure your business from uninvited guests. But for many of our customers, the idea of installing security fencing can feel like they’ve turned their work place into a prison. Thankfully, high-quality security fencing has come a long way in both style and strength. While barbed wire is still available where appropriate, there are many more options to choose from.

It’s easy to imagine fences as purely pragmatic. You have them installed when you want to close off your yard or protect your property. But adding a beautiful fence to your property isn’t just about property lines. It can transform your experience of the space, too. Defining zones Big yards and patios can be overwhelming to look at. There’s so much space, but how do you make the most of it? How do you highlight the great features you have? Installing a high-quality fence–whet

A high-quality fence is an investment, but the end result looks stunning, withstands incredible wear and tear, and lasts for decades. That said, wouldn’t it save you money to simply pick up a hardware kit and some lumber to build the thing yourself? Here’s why you won’t get the same results by DIY-ing a fence instead of hiring professional craftsmen to do the job. Your Time is Valuable If you’ve never assembled or installed a fence before, you are about to lose hours of your

When people think about fencing, they usually picture a property line or a way to keep pets and kids safe. But a well-built fence does a lot more than mark a boundary. The right fence installation adds security, improves curb appeal, increases functionality, and creates a space that works better for the people using it every day.
