Let customers speak for us
Product is excellent. Customer service was responsive and productive.
Working with Barrier Boss was great. From product deliverd to my door to the custom fence pannels I needed , Barrier Boss listened and responded to all our requests . Would recommend them to anyone that needs fencing and any other products they sell.
One post was twisted,a bit of a challenge to make it fit the last fence panel
Exceptional product and exceptional service which is consistent with every order and all the way through, from the moment the order is placed until the order is delivered and even after that! What really stands out in addition to BarrierBoss highest quality is energy and efforts put in delivering their product to their customers. Really all in one and one of a kind!
Great product! Easy installation due to precise fencing size specifications. Very pleased :)
Great panels, but the delivery was an issue. Very pleased with the corrugated panels themselves, however, I live in a Gulf Island and the delivery truck was too long for the ferry. Because of this issue Barrier Boss refunded the delivery price. I am very impressed with the products (we purchased both the corrugated panels and the hog wire). We have future plans for additional fencing and will be certainly purchase the additional corrugated panels from Barrier Boss.
Wire mesh and the rubber coating is so well built. The catio I built looks great
Excellent quality hog panels. The delivery, however, took over 3 weeks to leave the warehouse after I was told it would leave in the next couple of days when I was placing the order. Communication from the company was poor and the tracking took the driver right past Vancouver and then all over Vancouver Island before returning to Vancouver to drop off my order. My client was extremely upset with me as a result of the delay. If you're planning well ahead of time and delivery lead-time or communication isn't a concern for you, the product itself is quite good.
Looks really nice and sturdy, I haven’t used it yet as it is for a fence that will be built in the spring.
Very happy with the product - we bought fence panels and posts. Fence looks really good. Lauren was so helpful with our order.
I love the colour & look.
Really great fence panels! Beautiful cedar wood and the metal mesh is very strong and looks great.
Exceptional quality, very well made, very sturdy and beautiful!
