Friendly, Stylish, Functional Barriers: A Fencing Blog

Hi, my name is Kate, and I believe that whether you are putting up a white picket fence around your home or a barbed wire fence around your pasture, you deserve a fence that looks great and works well. Through the years, I have been on both sides of the fence. I have worked putting up fences, but I have also bought fences as a consumer. I decided to create a fence blog so I could share my knowledge and research with other shoppers, installers or anyone with questions. I hope you like these posts! When I'm not writing on this blog, I love to binge watch shows, read plays and take long meditative walks.
