Friday Fun

Everyone loves clever quotes and we recently came across this one that we thought was cute:

“If the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, you can bet the water bill is higher.” – Debbie Macomber

This is one of our favorite customer photos, where the grass is green! It features our aluminum fence.

WamBam Makes Another Appearance on the DIY Show “Fix This Yard”

In this episode, homeowners Jake and Kristen have had their house on the market for 7 months with no bites, probably due to their unsightly yard. The “Fix That Yard” crew goes in on a weekend and helps Jake and Kristen whip it in to shape. The best part? They opt for a WamBam vinyl fence that comes in particularly handy during a time crunch! This video shows the highlights.

Four Energetic Puppies Need a Fence

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!

Planting Pansies!

pansies

Spring is such a great time of year and it finally seems to have arrived (or mostly arrived) for most of the country. One of our favorite spring flowers is pansies. They can handle cool weather, so you don’t need to worry about a late spring frost, and they are easy to plant and inexpensive to buy. The only problem is that they don’t like the heat, so their life span is shorter than the average annual. If you’re in the north and itching to add some color to your gardens, but still susceptible to frost, you’ll want to pick up a few flats of pansies.

One of the reasons we love pansies so much is because they are available in such a wide variety of colors, particularly a lot of bright ones. Whether you have an aluminum fence or a vinyl fence, you can be sure to find some pansies that contrast and make your backyard one you can be proud of. A vinyl or aluminum fence can add curb appeal and safety to your home, but a bit of landscaping and some flowers in conjunction with your fence will really make your backyard look great!

If you’ve already planted some pansies by your WamBam Fence, snap a picture and post it to our Facebook page or email it to iwant2win@wambamfence.com. We love to see our customer’s pictures!
