A Rustic Garden Blog

November is synonymous with two great traditions, at least here in the United States. There’s Thanksgiving, of course, a time when family and relatives reconnect over a feast of turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. But before those festivities begin, rifle hunting season arrives. I like to head out to camp on opening weekend with a few close buddies.

In years past, we’ve been sure to bring all the usual provisions – pickled bologna, crackers, peppermint schnapps and several decks of cards for euchre. We wake up early to head out to the deer blinds and we don’t retire until long after the sun sets. This year I purchased a special new item for the old camp – a resin antler lamp that should serve as inspiration to haul in prized buck of our own.

Many of our customers at A Rustic Garden have asked us for a solution to a small opening on their patio or yard where a gate is needed to keep their kids or pets from wandering away.  It is often a necessity that can only be filled with a custom sized gate built specifically for a unique sized walkway. 

At A Rustic Garden we specialize in the ability to fill these small openings with a quality and long lasting, custom sized, iron gate that is much needed.  Our ability to fill our customers needs right to the inch has helped create many easy to install, sturdy, and long lasting wrought iron gateways that fit these exact needs.  A Rustic Garden survives on the ability to provide these affordable, unique wrought iron gates that help our customers protect the things that are the most precious to them.

Finding a sturdy railing for your porch or patio that is also decorative and unique can be tricky.  At A Rustic Garden we have had several customers choose our wrought iron fencing as an easy solution.

We can custom build our iron fence sections along with several steel posts with shoes that will bolt to your surface.  With the attention to detail paid by our fabricators we can figure the specifications or your porch or patio right down to the inch. 

My wife and I have never had any conflicts with our next door neighbors; in fact, our relations with them are cordial if not downright friendly. Still, we’ve always been insistent about staking a claim to our own backyard. The neighbor’s dog has a habit of crossing over onto our property to relieve itself, which wouldn’t be a problem if it weren’t for the nitrogenized dead patches in the lawn.

We decided to take action by putting up some decorative wrought iron yard fencing. The new fence doesn’t keep the dog out per se, but it does send a subtle message to our neighbors that we’d like our property to be respected. Since installing the fence myself, I’ve noticed a marked decrease in the number of times Rover wanders over to do his business in our backyard.
