August 2006 Here are some articles and items that were being covered in the August 2006 issue of World Fence News, 10 years ago this month. • The cover for August showed a fence job that played a major role in a security upgrade at the historic Wash- ington Navy Yard. This attractive yet rugged 8 foot tall ornamental fence manufactured by Iron World of How- ard County, Maryland, was installed by Long Fence of Capitol Heights, Maryland. The radius curves in the fence sections shown in the pictures were specified by U.S. Navy architects, and manufactured to specification by Iron World. The Navy was concerned about the Navy Yard's unsecured waterfront along the Anacostia River, which this fence helps resolve. Photos courtesy of Iron World.
