Always great to deal with leo and your company, great product.
Product looks great! Framed in myself for solid panels.i would definitely recommend this product.
Quality product- the fence is great. Barrier Boss does need to improve their communication about production delays as this affects booking a contractor and ordering other materials. Product though is five stars👍
This was the only Canadian sourced product I could find like it.
Very high quality and looks incredible.
Latest pieces were used to compliment an existing forever fence. They were actually attached to a chain link fence for visual affect and the product looks great. This is an amazing product no matter how you want to use the materials
