“Spring is the time of plans and projects.”
– Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

Clever Joe is ready for spring, and so are we!

With only one week until the official launch date of spring, it seems like the weather around the country has been unseasonably cold. I know that I’m spoiled living in sunny North Carolina, but it has been unseasonably cool here as well too. (I realize it’s all relative- my Northern friends have no sympathy as our temperatures are still well above freezing during the day).

I think everyone gets so anxious for spring because it signals so many things- sunshine, grilling, flip flops, blue skies and the ability to go outside and breathe in the fresh air without a cold shock to the lungs.

There are a few things I could do without– such as losing an hour of sleep with the time change– but I certainly wouldn’t be caught dead complaining about the brighter evenings.

A lot of people have plans and projects for their yards in spring, and somehow working on outdoor yard projects can seem like more a pleasure in the spring. It’s like you can come out of hibernation. Gardening is probably one of the most popular spring pass times, and we, of course, talk to a lot of people who are considering a vinyl or aluminum fence for their yards.

Leo Tolstoy said “Spring is the time of plans and projects” and we couldn’t agree more. Maybe it’s not quite warm enough to go outside and grill just yet, but you can definitely plan in advance for these lazy Sundays by laying out your landscaping and fencing plans. Remember, we’re always happy to provide hassle-free, no obligation advice and consultation on your vinyl or aluminum fence project. Save money with our easy to install PVC fencing and aluminum fencing!

We sell vinyl and ornamental aluminum fence all over the country, and ship to homeowners in every state. We love the way that technology enables us to connect with our customers despite geographical boundaries. Since we are physically located in the Charlotte NC area, we figured it would be fun to attend the Charlotte Spring and Garden Show to make some new local friends and offer an easy-to-install vinyl fence solution.

Thanks to the hard work of some key people at WamBam, they set up a fabulous booth:

We really enjoyed meeting our local neighbors and were pleased at the response to our program. People love the idea of being able to save thousands of dollars installing their own vinyl and aluminum fence, and especially like the thought of having us on speed dial in case they run into any snags. We also showcased our new gas powered pounders for rent, and it was fun to see how excited people were about this handy time and work saving device. Read more about the gas powered pounder on our website!

If you’re within 50 miles of the Charlotte area, call us at 704-892-5222 to see how we can help you save up to thousands of dollars installing your own fence.

Move over Batman, there’s a new Superhero in town!

For anyone that’s installed a vinyl fence the traditional way by digging holes and pouring concrete, it’s generally unanimous that our system is much easier to install.  Customers seem to love our fence, and that’s not just our biased opinion. Our website is full of great reviews.

But believe it or not, our fence just got even easier to install.

There are some new toys on the market that are practically a game-changer. They will enhance our user’s experience and make your fence even easier to install. In short, you won’t need to manually drive your posts because these gas-powered pounders will do most of the hard work for you. It’s like having a superhero on standby! We’ve done field testing with these tools and were pleased at how well they work. Early customer response has been extremely positive as well.

We have purchased quite a few to rent out, but they are flying off the shelves like hotcakes, so rentals are subject to availability. We are soon going to have more information on these on our website, but in the interim, here is what you need to know:

1. We charge $250.00 for the pounder rental with a WamBam Fence order that is shipped motor freight.

2. The pounder is operated with gasoline and instructions for use will be in the box.

3. You have 10 days to use the pounder to drive in all your pipe anchors. Once complete, you need to let us know that you’re finished with it and we will arrange to have UPS pick up the unit. The pick up fee is included in the rental charge.

4. You must agree to and sign the rental agreement. Please contact us for details.

5. You can visit more detailed specs here: http://www.redidriver.com/

See the video below, which shows Denise operating the Skidril G20 Pounder (note: Most of our rentals are the RediDrivers that are referenced in the link above, but both perform similarly).
