Always Be Prepared

This week we have had a whole lot of shaking going on with the earthquakes around the Lahontan Reservoir.

Hopefully, just a coincidence that this weekend is the anniversary of the 1906 San Andreas earthquake that was catastrophic for San Francisco.

Did you know that wooden fences were used to document significant surface ruptures? According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS,) they've been documented to show as much as 18-feet of horizontal grade change, while remaining structurally intact.

And the combination of wood framing and wire panels in fencing is similar to seismic bracing principles. The durability and flexibility of lodgepole combined with the ability of wire panels to bend and sway, makes for a robust structure able to withstand ground movements and deformation.

Not that Tahoe started building this type of fence with earthquakes in mind. But it's always good to be prepared!

Out of This World & Down to Earth

NASA's Space Shuttle program launched the 1st of its missions this weekend back in 1981. Columbia, along with its solid rocket boosters, was the first reusable spacecraft. And for those of us that grew up watching, so cool to see them take off as rockets, and successfully return to Earth like airplanes!

The shuttles carried and assembled materials and parts for the International Space Station. Took satellites into orbit. And deployed and repaired the Hubble Space Telescope.

Since the program was retired in 2011, NASA's assets are now protected by the Space Fence. It's an out of this world, virtual boundary established by a high-tech, ground-based radar system. The United States Space Force uses it to catalog, identify, map, and track satellites, objects, and debris in low Earth orbit.

With the aid of the Space Fence, NASA is able to plan the trajectories of its current and future space missions to avoid collisions with objects. The Space Fence makes it possible to detect high speed objects as small as a marble.

While Tahoe Fence hasn't worked in outer space, we do complete some lofty projects down here on Earth. For example, our crews completed this tall, all brown, slatted-wire enclosure at Stateline (Douglas County.)

Let us know what you think.

Nature Announces Easter

Easter is this Sunday.

While little kids look for chocolate bunnies and eggs, Easter closely coincides with Spring. Symbolizing new life and a fresh start in nature.

From the first daffodils to the pastel palette of Spring blossoms, Nature's vibrancy triumphantly announces that Easter is here.

From all of us at Tahoe Fence, Happy Easter.

Keep It Simple

When you need dependable driveway access control, keep it simple with a cantilever gate.

Cantilever slide gates are secure and durable. They have few moving parts. And because cantilever gates are suspended above the ground, they have fewer problems caused by regular obstructions for other types of gates, like snow, gravel, uneven terrain, and even wind.

The braced design of a cantilever's construction also makes them ideal for larger openings.

Let us know what you think.

Tastes So Sweet

While the calendar says it's Spring, the thermometer is shouting hot as Summer.

And when our area gets hot, staying hydrated is a must. That's when cool, clear, refreshing water tastes so sweet!

At Tahoe Fence, we understand this well. Digging post holes under the sun is thirsty work. And our crews have been busy finishing an enclosure for another area water tank.

Let us know what you think.

Dog Friendly

It could be because Spring is around the corner. Or the late afternoon light we are now enjoying. And there's also the much warmer temperatures.

Whatever the reasons, when we were asked on a project if Tahoe could help with a weather-beaten patio swing that was down to only its metal frame, it made sense to take it on.

Not our normal install or build. However, dogs are a great reason for fences. And Tahoe is all about being dog friendly.

Let us know what you think.

Time Will Tell

Remember to set your clocks ahead (Spring forward) 1-hour this weekend for Daylight Saving Time.

Originally started by Germany during World War I as a means to conserve coal, the United States also adopted Daylight Saving Time during the War. And the U.S. began using it again during WWII.

The Uniform Time Act of 1966 introduced national time standards for American cities to follow. Chaotic, domestic transportation schedules became more regulated as a benefit of the Act's acceptance.

During the extended evening daylight, urban areas typically see an economic advantage with an increase in business and retail sales. And a drop in crime, at least near the beginning of the clock change.

However, in rural and agriculture areas, it can interfere with taking care of livestock which have their own internal clocks. And you have to be extra careful of kids who are waiting for school buses in the early morning darkness!

Time will tell if the benefits outweigh the negatives with Daylight Saving Time. But as the offspring of a dairyman, we so appreciate that extra hour of sleep!

Full Circle

The incredible weather our area has had this month has provided both a mix of seasons and some amazing views. This last week before the month of March begins, we have even witnessed rainbows.

Maybe it's just us, but seeing rainbows with St. Patrick's Day around the corner seems special.

The ancient Greeks believed rainbows were bridges that connected the world of the gods with that of humans. Christian traditions teach rainbows symbolize a promise from God to mankind starting with Noah. And Irish customs view rainbows as fortuitous. Maybe it has something to do with that pot of gold at the end!

Rainbows also have interesting science behind them. No two people see a rainbow exactly the same way because of their position and perspective. And rainbows are full circles. Because of the horizon, we only see the positive arch of a rainbow!

The Benefit of a Fence in Winter

What's the benefit of having a fence in Winter?

It's a great way to tell how deep the snow is.

Romantic Evolution

In case you didn't remember this weekend is Valentine's Day.

The day's evolution originated in ancient Rome where it started as a fertility festival. Then it was adopted by Christianity in the 5th century. The festivities were subdued and the day transformed into a feast day for St. Valentine.

The writings of the English poet Geoffrey Chaucer in the 1380s are credited with linking the day back to romantic courtship. And not that long after, the practice of sending Valentine's cards started to take hold in Europe. Reportedly, the first known card was from the Duke of Orleans to his wife in 1415, while a prisoner in the Tower of London.

With a card a fencer would love, happy Valentine's from all of us at Tahoe Fence!

Show Your Mettle

This weekend is both the start of the world's winter games and football's big game. And in each, people will be showing their mettle in hopes of achieving the greatest of awards.

While winning sports highest honors is an incredible act, the making of the actual metal hardware is no small feat itself. The prize for the best team in football is made of sterling silver at about 22 inches high and weighing around 7 pounds. A new one, which takes about 72 hours just to fabricate, is handcrafted each year for the winning team.

And nearly 1,200 medals were minted for the world's winter competitors this year. As in previous years, they are unique to where the events are being held. But this year's awards were created with all recycled precious metals and 100% renewable energy.

In the tradition of the above-mentioned metal work, Tahoe Fence showed its mettle creating these custom, ornamental steel gates. These industrial gates were made to our customer's specifications. They were powder coated after fabrication. Then installed and automated in Fallon (Churchill County.)

Special thanks to Awaxx Systems for the access control hardware.

Let us know what you think.

An American Innovation

The origins of split rail fencing go back to America's first settlers. Used to define boundaries and secure livestock and property with materials that were readily available.

Trees, cleared to make space for growing crops and for animal grazing, were used for structures, fences, furniture, etc. Cedar was and is still preferred for rail fences because of its straight grain which makes splitting logs length wise easier. Cedar's natural resistance to pests and decay add to its durability and popularity.

Early fences had rails stacked and staggered. This zig-zag design was quick to build, easy to adapt to changing landscapes and terrain, and didn't require digging post holes. Advances in tools and technologies led to designs more commonly used today with mortise and tenon joints.

Their use was so abundant, there were millions of miles of rail fences covering America's landscape by the late1800s.

Tahoe Fence completed this cedar, split rail in Fallon (Churchill County.) Our crews were able to follow the sidewalk as it curved around the property. And the front entry has compelling curb appeal with the addition of an ornamental steel gate. For comparison, we included a picture of an early, settler-style rail fence we took while visiting the historic area around Salem College in Winston Salem, North Carolina.

Let us know what you think.
