We chose this customer story as a blog entry because we love the in-progress shots of the fence. Also, their rescue dog Milly looks so happy with her new fence that it’s hard not smile when you see a shot of her enjoying her new found freedom!

After being crated for up to 17 hours a day before being rescued, Millie loves her new fence freedom!

Sara in Virginia emailed us to say:

“We have found that it actually makes our yard seem bigger because before the fence we didn’t use the space near the street. Now that it’s fenced in, it’s safe, useable space. And, above all else, our French bulldog, Milly, is in love with the yard – no more leash! We rescued her from a puppy mill in 2012 and she’s had us wrapped around her little paw ever since. Before we rescued her she was kept in a cold crate all day. Now she can run free all over the yard – she loves her Wam Bam fence just as much as us!

We are just so pleased with our fence. This is our first home and our fence is certainly among the best upgrades we made.”

Milly loves to play in her fenced in backyard!

The string line is an important first step of the fence installation project to determine pipe placement

The vinyl fence bottom rails get installed

Getting closer to the finished product! The vinyl pickets get inserted into the horizontal rails.

Almost done! Everyone pitches in to help place the vinyl pickets in the rails.

A great panoramic view of the massive project in completion!

Kudos to Sara and her husband for tackling such a big fence installation project and doing a great job to boot. We love to see our customer’s projects in action, and we especially love hearing about a once-crated puppy being rescued and given a new playground.

The Nervous Nelly Vinyl Fence on a Slope

We recently received the following email from a professional landscaper:

“This was the first time using this fence company for me. I am a landscape contractor in  New York State. I found Wam Bam Fence Company on-line. Well, I was skeptical at first. This was a whole new concept for me from the traditional way my company has done fencing in the past. So, I watched all the videos, read as much info I could, to make sure I wanted to try this on a job that would have my name on it!! Well, I tried it!!

A set of double vinyl gates

The truck came , we unloaded boxes and got started. At first, we started slow. Got 2 complete sections up in 3 hours, using 3 people. It looked great!! Next day, had the concept down and went to town, got 12 complete sections done! Oh better tell you this job was 276 ft. of fencing with 2 single gates and 1 double gate. We used Nervous Nelly fencing which is a 5 ft. high flat top vinyl pool fencing. Now, our location was not ideal for fencing, what I mean is very little flat or level areas. The fence went up very quickly, I was pleased! We had some areas we needed to place the section of fence that were at a 45 degree angle and these were a challenge. With the Nervous Nelly Fence, the rails come pre-cut for your slats to slide in, but because of the uneven terrain, we had to enlarge every  single hole for each and every slat on each of the 3 rails needed for this section of fence!! This was time consuming! My thoughts on this were either the company make the holes larger when making rails or leaving them out completely, so you would cut your own in this type of situation. I’m not sure of the correct solution on this but that was our only problem. I would use Wam Bam Fencing again in a heartbeat!!!!! I will never construct a fence again the traditional way, augering all the holes and having all the extra dirt to remove and all that concrete, never again for this contractor!!! Even the gates went well!! This job took us 4.5 days form unloading all the boxes to complete!!! Oh and cleanup, there is very very little!!!! When you complete that section of fence and move to next one, you are done!!! AWESOME!!!!!

With 4 adorable puppies on the run, the Gorgans need a fence!

Will and his wife Nancy recently adopted 4 puppies and needed a fence. They opted for our vinyl picket fence and this is what Will had to say:

“The fence project went very well. I did most of the project myself (my wife was out of town the first weekend but was able to help me on Saturday of the final weekend with the finishing touches). I only hit one underground obstacle (a root that was only 8 inches down that I had to chop out with an axe).

I only made a couple of small mistakes and no one but me even notices them. I had to get a little creative in a few spots. The fence is very versatile, and I was able to figure out how to make it work to solve the problem areas I ran into. I almost called for advice a couple of times, but figured it out without needing to call.

The fence lines came out very straight. I’ve included a few pictures (including the reasons for the fence – yes there are 4 of them). I chose to angle the fence up and down the slopes rather than step the fence so that the dogs would not be able to escape under the fence.

The woman in the picture is my wife, Nancy. She is the one who bought the dogs and then decided we needed a fence to keep them in. She is also the one who found your website and decided that your fence system would make a great addition to my “honey do” list.

The dogs are Maggie and Molly (the blonde French twins with the long legs), Max (the red labradoodle) and Chip – short for Chocolate Chip (the chocolate Australian labradoodle). They are all about 12 weeks old and full of energy. Quite a handful. It is a lot easier now that the fence is installed…”

This was a big vinyl fencing project and Will nailed it!
