This one isn’t as exciting or as fun as looking at completed fence project photos, but its probably the most important and overlooked item that can make the difference between being an informed shopper and regretting your purchase.  Cutting corners on component sizes, thicknesses and finishes is a time honored tradition of lower-end companies that try to undercut higher quality pieces with a lower price.  Don’t get me wrong.  Price is important, but if you are saving $20 and getting a piece that is half the thickness, weight and will rust in 3 years; are you really getting a good deal?  Any fence and gate maker worth their salt will have the ability to provide you specifications (specs) on the pieces you are buying.  You can find and download both our abbreviated ‘quick specs’ and our full specs on our specifications page.  Look for something fully versed and thought out like our specs versus some simple bullet points or a short blurb on a web page.

Things are an essential part of our lives. We use things every day, whether it be tools to help us accomplish tasks, objects that bring us joy, or even intangible concepts that shape our beliefs and behaviors. The word things may seem simple and vague, but the role that things play in our lives is complex and profound.
