Interesting Fences

Recently I was searching through pictures of fences we installed in the past. I came across this fence that we stained blue! 


Although it's not a fence you'd see everyday, the customer LOVED it!  It made me wonder what other interesting fences I could find. With the help of google images I found a ton of fun, funky, and interesting fences. I thought I'd share a few!


I found several variations of this fence.
I can't help but think about how cute this would be at a
school or daycare!

I instantly began daydreaming of my trip to
Kauai as soon as I saw this fence!
What a great 'green' way to reuse old surfboards!


This is a fun fence from New Zealand!
In 2000, four women were celebrating at a hotel across
the street from this fence. They decided that the new millenium should be liberating for all women. The women removed their bras & hung them on the fence. Over the past 10 years hundreds of bras have been added to this fun fence!


What a fun way to dress up a plain chain link fence!


This is more of a fence accessory than an actual fence.
But, I found myself giggling at this picture and felt like I must share it!
This is a fun gadget sold by Pet Peek (http://www.petpeek.info/).

These are just a few of the fun pictures I found in my search. I would love to see fun and interesting fence pictures you run across!

Trellis & Fence in Holly Springs, NC

Recently we were contacted by a past customer. They purchased a new home in Holly Springs and needed a new fence! The homeowner decided to add a special detail for character, and a trellis worked perfectly! She sent along the following note and pictures of the completed trellis.

"We LOVE our fence and trellis (I especially love the trellis). Sometimes I go outside just to look at it. Thanks again for the great service."  ~Lisa M


If you think a Trellis (or new fence) would add some charm to your yard call Harrison Fence!

Your new fence & HOA regulations

One question we get from almost every customer is, "What do I do about my HOA?"  For many people the thought of dealing with their HOA for any project is daunting to say the least. At Harrison Fence we try to make this process as simple and pain free as possible.

It always important to comply with all HOA guidelines. If the fence is installed without their approval they can (and will) make you remove the fence. Because each HOA has different guildelines we are always here to help ensure that your project will be compliant.

Most local HOA's require the same 3 things...a completed application, a survey, and a picture of what the completed project will look like. We are more than happy to assist  you with all three elements. We will complete the HOA application, draw the fence lines on your survey, and provide you with a picture to submit with your application. All you will need to do is get your neighbors to sign off and submit the application. If you, or your HOA, has any questions along the way we are always here to assist!

Shauna,
Yes! Everything is finished and we are pleased with our new fence. The crew that came out on Friday worked hard all day long in the heat to finish up. They did a fantastic job. Once again, thank you for working with us in such a professional manner to address our concerns and for helping us comply with our HOA standards.

I don’t know about you, but the crew here at Harrison Fence is ready for WARM weather!! The greatest thing about warm weather is being able to spend more time doing outside activities with our families, friends, pets and neighbors. Just think how much fun your family could be having this summer in your newly fenced backyard!

Before you purchase a fence, we recommend that you understand as much as possible about the process. Most owners are not familiar with fencing - after all, you don't need to buy a fence very often. At Harrison Fence, our objective is to provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision about your fence. If you contract with us for the installation, we'll do our utmost to ensure that your expectations are met. Here is how the fence purchase process works:

Initial Inquiry: Contact us by phone, fax, email, or submit our online form (http://www.harrisonfence.com/contact.php). We will gladly answer all of your questions and educate you on fence types, styles, and materials.

Sales Estimate: When you’re ready, we’ll schedule an appointment for a member of our sales team to meet with you. Harrison Fence takes great pride in knowing that we are one of the few fence companies in the area that will come to your home for a FREE estimate. We enjoy meeting our customers, and feel it gives us a better opportunity to provide you with the perfect fence for your yard. We will discuss with you what you would like the fence to accomplish (security, pets, children, appearance), measure your yard, and help you select the type and style of fence that will best accomplish your goals.

Sales Contract: When you are ready to proceed, you just need to sign the proposal and send it to us with the appropriate deposit.*

Installation: Once the contract is signed, we will order any necessary materials and contact you to schedule an installation date. We will also contact 811 to have all underground public utilities marked. A typical residential installation is completed in one to three days. We ask that all homeowners be available for approximately 15 minutes on the first day of install for a final review of the fence layout and gate placement. Our crews strive to leave your yard as clean as possible and will put any misplaced dirt from post holes in an area approved by you.

Completion: Once the installation is complete, expect a follow-up phone call to ensure that the installation meets your satisfaction. Once the installation is complete the final payment is due.

Follow-up: We will respond to any follow-up issues in a timely manner. At Harrison Fence, we stand by our work and know that satisfied customers are our best source of additional business.


*Deposits are required on ALL special order vinyl and aluminum materials. Deposits are required on all fences that are greater than $5000.
