Bee Fencing recently completed the replacement of my 30-year-old privacy fence. The fence was in a state of disrepair, leaning precariously and hindering the operation of my lawnmower. The removal, disposal and replacement of 321 feet of fence took approximately four days. The original 4x4 posts were typically cut to ground level to prevent tripping hazards. Instead, steel poles were driven into the ground at least two feet, and treated boxes were strategically placed around them to conceal the poles on three sides. These boxes were constructed on-site, mirroring the robust and heavy gates. The boxes were securely attached to the steel poles using hardened steel fasteners, commonly referred to as Ram-Set Nails. The top of the boxes featured lateral rails, while three horizontal rails provided support for the pickets. In contrast, my previous fence only had two rails for picket support. These rails are the most straight and sturdy 20-foot-long 2x4s I have ever encountered. The top rail, with its wide face facing upwards, is likely to become a "Squirrel Expressway" in the future.
The Bee Fencing crew, comprising up to six individuals depending on their workload, demonstrated exceptional professionalism. There was no verbal abuse, profanity, or music that disrupted the tranquility of my neighborhood. These young men were highly focused, transporting heavy pressure-treated lumber from their trucks to the backyard with remarkable efficiency. They also meticulously transported the old fence to their trucks with the same precision. At the conclusion of each day, they meticulously packed their tools and maintained the grounds. On the final afternoon, as the crew completed the installation of the last gate, I conducted a perimeter inspection and discovered only seven nails in the grass, with four of them attached into a strip.
Throughout my career as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor for over three decades, I dedicated myself to assisting individuals in developing effective work habits or reintegrating into the workforce. The Bee Fencing crews operating during the past week exemplified the principles I consistently sought to impart to my clients. Their expertise is such that they could serve as instructors for my clients or even my grandchildren. read more
