where (how) do i get cheap off white concrete balustrade fence

Posted by vali44 (My Page) on

We have to put up a fence around our property (two corner sides, 180' long in total). Would like to do it "do it youself" way. How and where do I buy such ready-made "lego" for that?

RE: where (how) do i get cheap off white concrete balustrade fenc

Where I live there is (or was, they either moved or quit) a business that fabricated concrete steps for house trailers and the like and just about anything you could imagine in concrete. Many of the products sold retail for very little more than you'd pay for materials for a small job. But, goodness, this stuff is a bear to manhandle and you can't talk "cheap" in the same breath as 180 feet of anything.

It may not be the look you seek, but one of the products I see used along highway lengths of rural lots is a concrete post with three diagonal square openings to hold 4x4 or 6x6 lengths of wood making long, 3 bar fences and usually painted white, wood, concrete and all.

Check with your local building authority. Many of us can find ourselves with an expensive demolition job when it isn't allowed or to code. In today's paper a judge was totally disinterested in a man's plea of ignorance.

Let us know your ultimate solution and we sure appreciate photos!

I bought my concrete balustrades from www.lagunaprecast.com. They have the new standard for precast concrete details and they have the lowest prices in the nation. I'm about to place an order for concrete pavers, surrounds, sills, columns and remodel my whole house so we are pretty excited here.
