Fences serve a variety of purposes. They can protect property, pets and children. They can add aesthetic appeal to a landscape design. And they can help improve a community.
A great example of the latter is this year’s ShareFest Tri-Cities. Last month, some 3,000 volunteers came together on a Saturday to tackle 91 different community improvement projects – among them a large, coordinated effort to build a fence for an off-leash dog area at Badger Mountain Park.

It simply isn’t summer without the thwack of a bat and the chink of a ball hitting a chain link fence backstop. In an effort to keep the Northwest’s youth sports thriving despite the poor economy, Rick’s Fencing is pleased to become a sponsor for the Eclypse 12U girls fast pitch softball team, based in Vancouver, Wash.
This promising group of girls plays in tournaments throughout Oregon and Washington. Donations to the team help pay for equipment, first aid kits, tournament fees and indoor rental fees so the players can keep up with practices even when it rains.

An arbor adds an elegant touch to any cedar deck or fence, but one Portland organization has found a way to turn it into something more: disaster relief for Japan.
The Portland Japanese Garden has installed a “wish arbor” outside its admission gate to help visitors send well-wishes — and donations — to victims of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster in Japan. No admission fees are required to visit the arbor.

In May, 2010 we donated a white vinyl arbor to the St. Juan Diego Parish in Portland for an auction to be held later that month. We recently received a letter updating us on the status of their fundraiser.
Congratulations to the St. Juan Diego youth group for the $17,000 they raised through that auction! The youth group used a portion of the proceeds for a service trip to the Dolores Mission in East Los Angeles — money well spent. The remaining proceeds will be used to pay for future youth mission projects.

With the U.S. economy still down in the dumps, and jobs still hard to find, at least one industry is making a steady turn for the better. What industry is that? You guessed it – the fencing industry.
According to a new report from Reportlinker, the demand for fencing in the United States is expected to increase by 2.9 percent over the next four years, reaching 935 million linear feet by 2014. The report states that this increase is mainly due to a rebound in housing completions this past year.
