David’s Magical Fish and the Hidden Power of a Good Fence
There’s something about childhood discoveries that stick with you forever. One of my favorite memories is watching my son David, just six or seven years old, standing on the shore of St. George Island in Florida. He had caught a little silver fish, no more than eight inches long, and as he held it in his hands, he noticed something magical.
When he pressed on the fish’s belly, a tiny fish—probably its lunch—popped right out. As soon as he released the pressure, the baby fish slipped back inside. David was absolutely enthralled. He spent the rest of the afternoon walking up and down the beach, showing off his "magical fish" to anyone who would stop and listen. The joy on his face—and the delight of the strangers who gathered around—was something I’ll never forget. It was one of those simple, unexpected moments that remind you how much wonder there is in the world.
Now, you might be wondering: What does a magical fish have to do with fencing? Well, just like that little fish had something special hidden inside, the right fence can have a hidden power. It might look simple, but a well-chosen fence can transform your property in ways you might not expect.
A quality fence isn’t just about marking boundaries. It’s about creating spaces that work for you—whether that’s keeping your garden safe from critters, giving your pets a secure place to play, or even adding a little beauty to your property. And sometimes, it’s the small details that make the biggest difference.
Take our apron fence, for example. It has a 12-inch apron that lies flat on the ground, which might not seem like much—until you realize it’s the perfect way to keep dogs from digging out or unwanted critters from digging in. It’s one of those little touches that turns a good fence into a great one.
