Let customers speak for us
The wait was worth it! seldom does a product exceed expectations, this one did. From the delivery to the overall satisfaction of this amazing product I could not be happier. If your not in a huge hurray do yourself a favor and look into this.
OMG...I absolutely love these panels. Super Study. My animals will no longer be able to chew through our patio fencing. YIPEE best product yet. It truly completed the look we were looking for.
Worth the wait. Great panels at a good price. Delivery man was awesome !
My second order of three, so far. Lovely people to deal with, excellent product.
We ordered three Fort Knox panels for a privacy wall. They were easy to move, easy to build before moving them into place. Once build they look fantastic, very solid and easily installed as they measured exactly 8' wide and 6' tall once built. We used 10' 4"X4" post so we could add a little more height then trimmed the post and added post caps.
We'd like to give a special shout out to the Barrier Boss Customer Service team for being so responsive as I was getting anxious to take delivery and get them installed before my hip replacement. They said delivery would be 6-8 weeks, they delivery in about 6 weeks so I had the post in the ground and ready. Following the video instruction the install was simple, taking about two hours to build and install - amazing. We highly recommend working with BarrierBoss and being patient as the wait time is well worth it. We love this product, it looks amazing, we will be back for more fencing in the future. Thanks BarrierBoss for making the best fencing available in the market today.
Good stuff! Worked exactly for what we needed, and looks fantastic. I can't believe I couldn't find this stuff closer to home (Alberta) but it is what it is, delivery was easy anyways so thanks for that.
I ordered several framed and finished hog wire panels as part of a deer fence project. I thought the cost was very reasonable... Due to tariffs, etc. they took a quite while to come, and I started to get paranoid I'd been scammed by a fake website (it is pretty impressive)! Thanks to CS for sending that video, very reassuring...Once the product was delivered I was completely impressed. Delivery was professional and at a reasonable cost...., The quality is amazing... My fence installer wanted to know-- who made these?!!
