🌿 How the Caledonian Canal and Its Stunning Lochs Changed My Perspective on Safety

Recently, I took a walk along the river in a nearby town. It was peaceful, beautiful even, with little sections of fencing strategically placed so you could enjoy the view without worrying about tumbling into the water. But as I strolled, my mind wandered back to a very different experience—one that still sticks with me to this day.

A Walk Along the Caledonian Canal

I was exploring the Caledonian Canal in Scotland with Duncan a few years ago, winding our way through the Highlands, marveling at the famous lochs (yes, Loch Ness among them) and the impressive locks (the kind that control water levels, not gates or fences). There, the scenery was stunning, the air crisp, and the freedom… palpable.

Unlike here in America, there were no railings, no fences hugging every edge, no guardrails keeping you from a misstep. Just raw, unfiltered beauty and a quiet understanding that you had to respect it. It felt liberating, walking across the locks and along the lochs, knowing it was up to you to tread carefully.

The Balance of Fencing

That’s the thing about fencing—it’s not always about keeping people out or locking things in. Sometimes, it’s about striking a balance. Those fences along the river here at home? They didn’t obstruct the view; they complemented it. They let you enjoy the moment without fear, just as the absence of fences in Scotland made the experience more exhilarating.

At Louis E. Page, we understand this balance. Fencing isn’t just steel and wire; it’s a tool for freedom. It protects, defines, and enhances spaces so people can live, work, and yes, take in the view safely.

Fencing That Lets You Breathe

If you need fencing that does just that—whether for a solar farm, a backyard, or even a scenic walkway—call Terry at 978-486-3116. She’s our fence expert, always ready to help you find the perfect solution.

As for me, I’ll always cherish the lessons from the Caledonian Canal and its legendary lochs, locks, and looks! It’s a reminder that sometimes the best way to protect what matters is to let it breathe.

Here’s to freedom, balance, and enjoying the view.

🦃 How Susan Hosts Wild Turkeys Without Them Crashing Her Vegetable Party

At Louis E. Page, we know that fencing isn’t just about keeping things out—it’s about finding the right balance to protect what matters most.

Take my friend Susan, for example. She has a beautiful estate in southern New Hampshire, where wild turkeys roam freely across her property. Susan loves watching the turkeys as they strut around, and she even feeds them. They bring her so much joy that she wouldn’t dream of fencing them out.

But like any good gardener, Susan draws the line at her vegetables. She wants to enjoy her feathered visitors without sacrificing her harvest. That’s where we come in.

A Fence That Finds the Balance

We worked with Susan to design a sturdy and discreet fence to surround her garden, keeping the turkeys out without disturbing the rest of her property. It’s been the perfect solution—well, almost. Susan occasionally finds a few turkeys lounging on her front porch, but she says it only adds to the charm of having them around.

🎄 "Hark the Herald Angels Sing!"... Inside the House

I’ll never forget the day I realized the importance of a good fence—even inside the house!

A few years ago, I was juggling life as a grandmother and a new puppy owner. My puppy, Phoebe Louise, was a curious three-month-old with an insatiable appetite for trouble. My granddaughter, around four at the time, was trying to play peacefully in her little kitchen on the other side of my kitchen island. She was busy "cooking" with dried pasta, but every time she turned her back, Phoebe was right there, gobbling up her supplies.

To keep the peace, I set up a temporary fence around her play area. It worked beautifully—until it didn’t.

A Puppy’s Triumph

As I cooked dinner on the other side of the island, I heard my granddaughter’s voice rise with dramatic flair:

“Hark the Herald Angels Sing! Phoebe Louise has broken into the kitchen!”

Sure enough, Phoebe had found a way to wiggle through the tiny gap between the island and the fence. She was back in the kitchen, triumphant. I couldn’t help but laugh—especially at my granddaughter’s choice of expletives. She had learned the carol that Christmas and clearly thought it fit the occasion!
