Let customers speak for us
I like the fencepost that came with metal and wood panels they are a good match.
I am confident that the order i am waiting for will be a close match also. I have recommended barrier boss to my friends who live in the kootenays.
Great product and service
We replaced a 30 year old fence with the corrugated metal fence. It made the cedar hedging look much greener and it is nice to look at. It was quite easy to install. I am patiently waiting for the next order to be delivered so we can finish it off.
These are great panels. Very accurate to size, and very nice to look at. Probably a little overkill for a vegetable patch in a residential yard, but we are very pleased nonetheless!
Perfect for our needs.
The panels are perfect, and arrived earlier than anticipated, I am very pleased with the panels. Thank you
Good products and services at a fair prices
Exactly as advertised, fast and efficient pickup.
The whole process with Barrier Boss was great. Lauren was extremely helpful. The time line was quick from ordering to delivery.
I have dealt with Barrier Boss multiple times over the last two years and have ordered fence panels from them twice. The panels have worked out great, but more importantly, I have had nothing but great experiences and was made to feel like a valued customer no matter the size of my orders. Dave was especially helpful when I popped in to ask about picking up two corrugated metal sheets even though I didn't have a larger order at that time. I will absolutely be returning.
It was worth the wait! These panels are strong and well built, I couldn't believe the price when I got them. Much better option the chainlink.
Took a while for delivery. It was worth the wait. We are enjoying the sauna.
Product is excellent. Customer service was responsive and productive.
