White House Proves That Fencing Improves Security

Placeholder ImageWhite House Fencing Security According to a proposal submitted to the National Capitol Planning Commission, the Secret Service is adding a second layer of steel spikes to the top of the White House fence.

In America, a burglary occurs every 10 seconds. The chances of being a victim of a property crime – burglary, larceny, theft, motor vehicle theft, arson, shoplifting, and vandalism – right here in Maryland are a staggering 1 in 38. So, you have to ask yourself a very important question. “Is my home or business as safe as it could be?

White House Proves That Fencing Improves Security

A fence is your first line of defense against criminal activity, providing a physical barrier between you and the outside world. A couple key additions, such as anti-climb spikes, can make that barrier even more formidable. And that is exactly what the Secret Service recently set out to do.

According to a proposal submitted to the National Capitol Planning Commission, the Secret Service is adding a second layer of steel spikes to the top of the White House fence. The 1/2-inch long steel “pencil point” spikes, which will be added to the north and south sides of the White House grounds, will protrude outward, making it increasingly more difficult for would-be intruders to scale the fence.

The Secret Service began researching new ways to beef up White House security after a Texas man was able to climb the fence and run deep into the executive mansion this past September. Since this incident, there have been several additional attempts to scale the fence. Most recently in April, a California man was arrested after successfully scaling the fence and running onto the White House lawn.

More extensive fencing redesigns are expected in the near future. Until then, the additional pencil point spikes will be tasked with the very important task of protecting the president.

It it’s good enough for the president…

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
