The Fence Post

A Fence That Makes Music… Huh!?!

I came across something absolutely fascinating that I had to share with you – it’s in Massachusetts, and it’s making waves in the fence world (pun intended)!

As your One-Source Fencing Force, I love sharing unique fence innovations, and this one’s a bell-ringer!

The Musical Fence at deCordova Sculpture Park

Ever wonder what happens when art, science, and fencing collide? Let me share something remarkable that exists at the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln, Massachusetts.

There stands a truly innovative fence that’s been captivating visitors for years—the "Musical Fence" created by artist Paul Matisse (yes, he’s the grandson of the famous painter Henri Matisse!). This isn’t your ordinary boundary marker—it’s an interactive musical instrument that anyone can play.

What Makes This Fence So Special?

• It’s constructed with precisely tuned aluminum pipes.
• Visitors can create music by running a mallet along its length.
• Each pipe is carefully engineered to produce specific musical notes.
• It serves both as a functional boundary and an interactive piece of art.

Think about it: Paul Matisse took something as fundamental as a fence and transformed it into an experience that brings joy to countless museum visitors. It shows us that with a bit of creativity, even the most basic elements of our properties can become something extraordinary.

More Than Just a Barrier

Why am I so excited about this? Because it shows how fences can be more than just barriers—they can be conversation starters, community gathering spots, and even works of art!

Want to discuss how Louis Page can make your fence both functional AND remarkable (even without the musical notes)? Terry would love to share some innovative ideas that could work for your property! Call her at 978-486-3116.

P.S. If you ever find yourself near Lincoln, Massachusetts, stop by the deCordova Museum and give this musical fence a try. Until then, let’s explore how we can make your fence project sing in its own unique way!

Wishing you a day full of joy and song,

MooHoo! What Savvy Farmers Know About Raw Milk Demand That You Don’t

We’re always inspired by stories from our customers, and I thought you might enjoy hearing about a farmer friend of ours who has seen his dairy business transformed by an unexpected surge in demand.

For over 50 years, he’s been quietly raising dairy cows, providing for his local community. But recently, he’s found himself selling up to 50 gallons of raw milk a day! The demand has grown as more families become conscientious about what goes into their food, and it turns out many people who are lactose intolerant can actually tolerate raw milk. This discovery has opened up his business to a whole new audience.

His farm is mooing with activity like never before.

Adapting to Growth with Quality Fencing

With this growth, he’s realized the importance of quality fencing to support his operation—from keeping his livestock secure to protecting his expanding facilities. He’s making sure his dairy cows stay safe, his property is protected, and his growing farm can continue to thrive.

Uncle Carroll Knows Best

Today, I want to share a story that takes me back to my early days—straight from my Uncle Carroll and his twin brother, Harold. Uncle Carroll was the kind of guy who’d see a thunderstorm rolling in, lean back with a grin, and say, “Let’s see if this old farm can handle a bit of wind.” He loved to tell a story with a spark in his eye and a laugh ready to roll. And there was Harold, always beside him on the porch, listening with a smirk but rarely saying a word.

One summer, I was visiting the farm when a wild storm blew in out of nowhere. The sky turned dark as night, the winds howled like they had a score to settle, and I swear, it felt like the whole house was trembling. “Better brace yourself,” Uncle Carroll said, “Mother Nature’s just warming up.” And boy, was she ever.

The next morning, we stepped outside, expecting the usual post-storm chaos—branches down, tools scattered, maybe even a chicken or two who’d gone on an unscheduled adventure. But what caught my eye was his fence, stretching along the pasture, looking like it hadn’t even blinked. And there was Harold, leaning against that fence, puffing on his pipe with a grin.

“That old fence,” Uncle Carroll laughed, slapping his knee, “I put that thing up thirty years ago, and it hasn’t blinked yet.”

Built to Last

Turns out, Uncle Carroll had built that fence to withstand anything. He didn’t believe in “just good enough.” He knew the value of solid, dependable work—especially when it came to protecting what mattered most. “That fence knows its job,” he told me with a wink. “Just like we do.”

And you know what? That’s the kind of fence we stand behind here at Louis E. Page. The kind Uncle Carroll would’ve trusted—one that we build to withstand the storms, big and small, that life throws at us.

A Fence You Can Count On

If you’re looking for a fence as solid as Uncle Carroll’s—one you can count on—you know where to find us. We’re here to help you build something that’ll stand the test of time, just like that old farm fence that stood proud after the storm.

Call our fabulous expert, Terry. She’s as solid as Uncle Carroll’s fence. Reach her at 978-486-3116.

All my best regards, Debbie Page

P.S. A good fence isn’t just about keeping things in—it’s about standing strong, no matter what comes your way.

The Power of Belief: Why "Can't" Isn't in Our Vocabulary

At Louis E. Page, we often hear stories of those who push past perceived limits. Take Elon Musk, for example—he’s made "can’t" an unacceptable word in his life, a mindset that powers him toward groundbreaking achievements. He’s shown that when we believe in what’s possible, we open doors to ideas that can change the world.

Imagine what more humanity could achieve if we all believed we "can!"

Breaking Barriers with Fencing Solutions

At Louis E. Page, we carry this same mindset, focused on providing the best in fencing solutions that meet and exceed our clients' needs. When we look at your projects—whether it’s securing a solar farm or protecting delicate ecosystems—we’re inspired to go beyond limits, just like Musk. With the right mindset, every challenge is simply a problem waiting to be solved.

Let’s Build What Others Think Is Impossible

If there’s a project or challenge on your mind, reach out to Terry, our fencing expert, at 978-486-3116. Together, we’ll show that "can’t" isn’t in our vocabulary.
