The Creative Potential of Noncombustible Gates & Fences

DaVinci Gates (laser cut).

Protecting your property involves making decisions to regularly and cyclically maintain your property - this means both the vegetation and the structures.  Also, research studies show that wood fencing can provide fire pathways to your building. 

Fence & Gate Best Practices

  • Retrofit your fence or gate for at least the first 5 feet from the house. 

  • Use a noncombustible material like metal or concrete.

  • If you are ready to build a new fence, use a non-combustible material.

  • Regularly maintain weeds and dead material near your fence.

  • Regularly clean and repair your fence for best performance and longevity.
