type of fencing to buy and to
shop around for the best prices.

The fence finally installed
will most likely be of this na

witt a colored plastic protective
coating, impervious to fire, cor
roslon, and the gnawings of
small animals, the fence will be
a boot four (act high and 640
feet in perimeter. The copper
bearing content of the fencing
will help to cut down rust.
As now planned, the fence
will have three 24-feet wide
gates for the entrance of auto
mobiles, and two small walk-in
gates. Four-inch steel pipes will
serve as corner posts, with gate
posts being even larger than
this. Another type of steel pipe,
very resistant to dents, will
serve as the top railing of the
fence.
The entire structure will be
installed with about 30 inches
of concrete as a foundation.

installation of the fence are ex
