What our contractors ran into
Three of the corner brace assemblies hit rock within 14 inches of the surface. Standard 36-inch corner posts in concrete weren't going to work. Our contractors ran double-H braces with shorter pinned posts and added rock anchors at each corner — heavier corner build than usual but the rock was effectively bedrock and the corners aren't going anywhere.
How it finished
Four-day build. Crew checked the corner tension at the 6-month mark and there was zero deflection. Rock terrain on Keel Mountain favors heavier corner builds over deeper posts.
What our contractors ran into
Gurley historic district has informal style expectations — modern profiles look out of place. Our contractors built a period-appropriate picket with square-cut tops in oak, painted white. Short fence but careful work on the gate latch (a forged thumb-lift to match the era).
How it finished
Two days on-site. Homeowner is in a historic preservation discussion group and several members stopped by to look at the gate detail.
What our contractors ran into
Rural property next to a working pasture. Owner wanted pet containment but didn't want to block views entirely. Our contractors used green privacy slats woven through the fabric — partial visual screening, doesn't read as solid wall.
How it finished
Two-and-a-half-day install. Green slats blend into the surrounding tree line better than black or white would in this setting.
