🐿️ Unexpected Adventures on a Split Rail Fence

You never know what you’re going to see in a small town, and today, I had one of those moments that just made me laugh. While walking through a nearby little town, I spotted a squirrel dragging something black and fuzzy across the street. At first, I couldn’t figure out what it was—some strange treasure, no doubt.

This determined little guy climbed up a wooden split rail fence post, dragging her mystery item behind her. But the real mystery? What she was carrying turned out to be someone’s velvet glove! I suppose even squirrels have big dreams, though this one gave up and left her find behind when the task proved too much.

Fences and the Stories They Hold

Watching that squirrel got me thinking about how fences—whether they’re split rail, wire mesh, or another type—are often part of the unexpected stories in our lives. At Louis E. Page, we provide the wire mesh fencing that surrounds everything from backyards to farms to parks.

Whether you’re protecting a vegetable garden from squirrels with our small-opening galvanized mesh or enclosing a pasture with a sturdy welded wire fence, we’re here to make sure you have the materials you need to bring your fencing story to life.

Your Fence, Your Adventure

And who knows? Maybe one day, your fence will be part of a squirrel’s adventure too.

Feel free to give Terry, our fence expert, a call with any questions at 978-486-3116. She’s always happy to help you find the right materials for your project.

Here’s to unexpected moments—and great fences!

🌿 The Garden Solution You Didn’t Know You Needed – 50% Off Today!

This morning, while sipping my coffee at the kitchen window, I witnessed something that left me in awe. Sitting perfectly poised on one of my fence posts in the garden was a barred owl, surveying the world with those piercing eyes. He’d glance down at the garden, then back at me through the window, his head swiveling in that mesmerizing almost 360-degree motion.

And then it happened—with a graceful swoop, he dove down into the garden, emerging moments later with a rodent in his talons. Back on the fence post, he enjoyed his breakfast, all while I stood there, captivated by his beauty and the delicate balance of nature at work. Thank goodness, Phoebe, my little black puppy, who was watching through the French door, has learned how to stay calm even while watching wildlife.

Moments like these remind me how important it is to protect the spaces we care about while allowing nature to thrive. For example, our Sparrow Netting makes a wonderful addition to the bottom of your fencing to help keep smaller creatures out of your garden while preserving its beauty and integrity.

⛈️ Weathering the Storm: A Tale of Endurance, Resourcefulness, and Fencing Solutions

I recently finished reading Ranald Bannerman by George MacDonald, and one story from the book felt like it was calling to be shared. It’s a tale of resilience, resourcefulness, and staying calm in the face of unexpected challenges—something we can all relate to in both life and business.

A Lesson in Resourcefulness

In the story, Ronald and his father find themselves caught in a blizzard in the Scottish Highlands during a three-mile journey on horseback. The snow was thick, the wind relentless, and before long, their horses slipped into a ditch and bolted back home, leaving them stranded in the dark.

Faced with bitter cold and no clear way forward, Ranald’s father relied on his quick thinking and knowledge of their surroundings. They stumbled upon a stack of peat—a resource the Scots traditionally used as fuel. Ranald’s father hollowed out a space within the peat stack to create shelter, providing some protection from the biting wind and snow. It was far from comfortable, but it kept them alive.

What I loved most was how Ranald’s father found humor in the situation, even though their lives were at stake. Around 1:00 a.m., help arrived. The horses had returned to the barn, alerting the farmer to start a rescue mission.

Facing Challenges with Preparation and Community

This story reminded me of the importance of preparation, quick thinking, and community. At Louis E. Page, we often encounter our own version of “blizzards”—unforeseen challenges on fencing projects. But like Ranald’s father, we focus on staying resourceful and finding solutions, even when conditions seem daunting.

Whether it’s ensuring your fencing materials stand up to harsh weather or assisting you with a tricky installation, we’re here to guide you through the storm. And just like that farmer coming to the rescue, we’re only ever a call away.

🐐 From Chaos to Containment: A Mishmash, But It Works!

This morning, as I drove into town, I passed a local goat farm. For the first time, I really noticed their fencing: a mishmash of materials, from 8x8 panels to 2x4 wire mesh, electric tape, a stretch of wooden fence, and even some sheep and goat fencing.

It wasn’t the prettiest setup, but you know what? It worked. The goats were safely inside, happily grazing without a care in the world.

Versatility in Fencing: Making It Work

It reminded me how versatile fencing can be. Sometimes, it’s a perfectly planned solution. Other times, it’s about working with what you’ve got to create something that gets the job done.

At Louis E. Page, we’ve got everything you need—whether you’re starting fresh or adding to an existing setup. From sheep and goat fencing to galvanized wire mesh, we’ve seen it all and can help you make it work (and make it last!).
