June 2002 Here are some articles and items that were being covered in the June 2002 issue of World Fence News, 15 years ago this month. • The cover for June showed an interesting fence job. As part of the Florida Inland Navigation District's program to store material dredged from the Intracoastal Waterway, a number of properties were being pre- pared as storage sites in the state's eastern counties. East Coast Fence and Guardrail of Cocoa, Fla. worked on the fence job. The site, located in St. Augustine, required 14,000 lineal feet of 6 ft. chain link + 3 bw. From the looks of the photos, the jobsite conditions were miserable. The terrain was so murky and temperatures sometimes dropped into the 20s. Photos were courtesy of East Coast Fence and Guardrail.
