And finally for this edition, we spoke with Chris Sharp of Sharp Fence Construction in Oxford, Florida, who told us that the past year turned out great. His business mix is 80% commer- cial and 20% residential, and the com- pany does a lot of chain link and a lot of work on retirement communities in and around Ocala. Chris has been in the business some 13 years. We then asked Chris what he thought the outlook for the residential market would be for this year, and he told us that he felt it might pick up some. He said that almost all of his business comes from word of mouth.

At Western Tube & Conduit customer satisfaction and quality are the first order of business. Our Fencepost and Fencerail production is ISO-9001:2008 certified - and our products are manufactured to meet all the applicable state, federal, industrial and regulatory specifications and requirements. While we regularly stock standardized products and sizes, we are happy to provide custom dimensions as well. All our Fence products are galvanized with high purity zinc. We use high frequency welding (ERW) to turn the highest quality strip steel into tubing, and then a continuous hot-galvanizing process to zinc-coat the products smoothly and evenly. A zinc-rich interior organic coating, a chromate conversion coating, and a clear exterior organic coating provide the complete finish package that gives them superior protection against the elements and long life as a result. Gal-Z serves customers looking for shaped Fence tubing as well as corrosion-protected mechanical tubing. It can be purchased in squares and in rectangles, and it provides excellent environmental durability while also fulfilling the need for strength and weldability.
