“We first started looking at livestock fencing panels,” Webb says. “Much of the fencing on the market was just plain junk, made of rough stock with sloppy welds and a finish that wouldn’t hold up to the elements.”
On the other end of the market was a high-quality fencing that many ranchers couldn’t afford.
“We saw a niche in the middle for well-built fencing at a reasonable cost,” Webb says.
Compete With Pacific Rim
So when Webb started his company and wanted to install a new powder coating system, he worked with Reliant Finishing Systems in Alabama to help him compete with Pacific Rim companies that have historically dominated the decorative fencing market.
