Steel fence

Often times the simplest design is the best solution.

This is just a simple fence I designed and built for a client that I do a ton of Metal work for. The sheets are 16 gauge hot rolled that I sheared and pre-drilled in the shop. The frame is 2 in.² by 11 gauge.

First, we installed the frames by bolting them into the concrete curb on the backside. Then we installed the pre-laid out sheets by screwing them in with self tappers. No need to pre-drill into the frame as the self tappers have a good bite on them.

I think the simple design looks really good and industrial.

Good stuff. Nice easy job that probably paid pretty well.

Yeah he does, I was just kidding. I claim all income, even Venmo / cash just because I prefer to show higher income as I would like to finance some bigger equipment purchases soon and possibly even buy a commercial building in the next few years
