The Fence Post

How a Birthday Party, a Llama, and Fixed-Knot Fencing Stole the Show

This weekend, I attended the sweetest birthday party for a five-year-old friend at Stonewall Farms in Keene, New Hampshire. We had the best time exploring the farm, playing with the goats, and even getting up close with a very opinionated llama. We sat in a circle while BunBun, their famous bunny-chinchilla mix, let the children stroke her amazing fur and offer her treats.

But while the kids laughed and played, my eye wandered to the fencing—yes, the fencing! Stonewall Farms uses fixed-knot fencing, and let me tell you, it’s a thing of beauty. Each knot is perfectly crafted, durable, and designed to hold up to curious goats and the occasional llama nudge.

The Beauty of Fixed-Knot Fencing

As I admired the fence, I couldn’t help but marvel at the ingenuity it takes to design and produce something so practical yet elegant. It made me think of how we at Louis E. Page are privileged to provide this same kind of fencing to farms, ranches, and homes across the country.

Whether it’s protecting livestock or creating beautiful boundaries, fixed-knot fencing delivers strength and style that’s hard to beat.

🌿 From Toulouse to New Hampshire: Where Fences Tell Stories of Beauty and Strength

There’s something magical about wandering the streets of Toulouse, France, where every corner seems to whisper stories of the past. The grand doors, adorned with intricate wrought iron designs in vibrant blues, greens, and reds, transport you to another era. I love photographing these doors, imagining the clatter of horse-drawn carriages and the bustle of life centuries ago. My son, ever the realist, always reminds me that those carriages likely smelled less romantic and more like, well, horses—but I prefer to focus on the beauty!

Back home in rural New Hampshire, I’m surrounded by a different kind of beauty—the quiet strength of forests and the practical elegance of well-crafted fences. At Louis E. Page, we believe fences should do more than just mark boundaries. They should protect, inspire, and endure, just like those historic doors in Toulouse. Whether it’s securing livestock with durable wire mesh, adding the timeless charm of wrought iron to a property, or ensuring a construction site is both safe and compliant, our fences are built to stand strong and look beautiful for generations.

Fences That Reflect Your Vision

Just as those grand doors in Toulouse reflect the artistry and history of their time, your fence should reflect your property’s personality and purpose. Here’s how we make that happen:

🔹 Durability Meets Beauty: Our fences, whether for livestock, gardens, or decorative enclosures, are crafted from high-quality materials like galvanized steel, aluminum, and wrought iron. They’re designed to withstand the elements while adding aesthetic appeal.

🔹 Functional Elegance: Need a fence that’s as practical as it is beautiful? Our woven wire mesh keeps livestock safe, while our ornamental wrought iron designs bring a touch of European charm to your property.

🔹 Heritage Craftsmanship: As a family-owned business since 1893, we blend time-honored techniques with modern innovation. Our fences aren’t just built to last—they’re built to tell a story.

Bring Your Vision to Life

Whether you’re dreaming of a fence that evokes the romance of Toulouse or the rugged practicality of a New Hampshire farm, we’re here to help. Give Terry, our fence expert, a call at 978-486-3116. She’ll work with you to design a fence that’s as unique as your property—and just as enduring.

Here’s to fences that protect, inspire, and stand the test of time—just like the stories we love.

 From Mud Puddles to Goat Pens: The Unlikely Role of Fences in Life’s Greatest Adventures

This past Sunday, I had the privilege of enjoying lunch with three incredible families in Massachusetts. Between them, they have a total of twelve lively children, so you can imagine the energy buzzing around!

While we were outside on the deck, I couldn’t help but notice their well-fenced vegetable garden and goat enclosure. But what truly caught my eye was a six-year-old little girl, with the most gorgeous blonde curly hair, completely lost in her own world. She was ankle-deep in a mud puddle, squishing the icy mud between her toes, seemingly unbothered by the drizzle or the cold, damp ground. She was having the time of her life—proof that a little mud can be magical when you’re a child.

The Magic of Safe Spaces

This scene made me think about how essential quality fencing is for families like these. Whether it’s keeping the goats secure, protecting a vegetable garden from adventurous little hands (or paws), or even sectioning off areas to give kids space to explore safely, reliable fencing makes these moments possible.

At Louis E. Page, we’ve been helping families and businesses build strong, dependable fences for over 130 years. From wire mesh perfect for goat enclosures to sturdy garden fences, we provide the materials you need to create a safe and functional space for whatever your family—or farm—dreams up next.

Fences for Life’s Best Moments

So whether you’re wrangling livestock or simply keeping the mud play contained, we’re here to help. Let’s talk about your fencing needs—give our fence expert, Terry, a call at 978-486-3116.

Because at Louis E. Page, we believe that life’s best moments (yes, even the muddy ones!) happen behind great fences.

May your day have happy surprises!
