"Is This Where The Lowe's Fence Is Built?"

Susan Betz

We're working this weekend, getting ready to sew up an out-of-town job tomorrow. We build wood fence, and we have samples outside the shop. It's top-end stuff, we don't even have board-on-board samples out there. Our construction area is maybe 2000 sq. ft.

A guy pulls up and asks my husband, "Are you the company that makes the fence for Lowe's? I want to buy that Lowes fence cheap."




(we WISH we built fence for Lowe's though!)

Are you sure about that?? When we had our little textile shop, we were contacted a couple of times by someone representing .... a very big business based in Arkansas. I said we couldn't handle something that big was my decision at the time. Later heard of ppl that did work for them. Was told sometimes on these type of deals a contract would be signed. Small business would drop multiple smaller customers and base too much on this contract. Second year? "We can't pay that price this year. We need to renegotiate the price." I think I am glad we passed.

No, we wouldn't want to build for Lowe's. Lowes and HD scare us. Our local Ace hardware does consignment, though, and we've thought about some placement there.

Susan, I checked out your website, and your qualtiy is WAY too high for the box store fences. Unless you want to start using 1/2" rails.
