Fences are Big Time – Since The Early Days
So this edition of DuraBlog (maybe a focus group on that name?) is a departure from some of those more practical blogs we’ve published. I want to share with you a really good piece of writing about fences I discovered.
Stay with me. There are good reasons for me sharing this with you. One reason is that the National Gallery of Art does some great work – a leader in its field one could argue. Only the best for our customers!
Another reason for sharing this? Because it is the National Gallery of Art writing about fencing! Let’s face it, this takes fencing up a notch.
The Gallery tells us in their report that in the early history of America, “fencing was one of the most fundamental elements of the designed landscape in America.” They base their conclusion on literary and visual evidence from those times. Fencing was in pictures, magazines, and newspapers, and all over the actual landscape, back then.
Like folks of today, folks of yesteryear were downright finicky about their fences. Back in the day, fencing customers wanted choices and quality, and they wanted a fence that made them proud of their property. With these demands, it is no surprise there were great fences built back then. Crafting fences from wood and iron, those early tradesmen set the stage for today’s fencing market.
At DuraBond, our major takeaway from the Gallery report is that fencing is an important part of our American culture. Our Founding Fathers had fences too, many of whom were landowners and leaders in the community. The kinds of people who are discerning in their fencing choice. We like to think our Forefathers would choose DuraBond’s fencing if they were still here with us.
We also like to think that you, as a discerning customer, will choose our beautiful and long-lasting fencing. We do appreciate your interest in our product!
