[Summit] Fw: fence reccomendations

[Paul Aceto]

    Statewide put up a 90' fence for me a few years ago. I agree that they 
are pricey and the waiting list is long (several months). I paid $2500 for 
mine and I had to stain it myself. You'd think they'd offer that service as 
well. A few months after the fence went up it started to lean. They came 
within a few days to fix it and its been fine since.
