I had an idea for my yard and wanted to incorporate some steelwork with wood but didn't know where to start and who to contact. Glad to find Trent with CAPS fabrication, he helped me design and come up with some great ideas that was able to bring to life. Now I have a beautiful outdoor living space, and the best fence and gates in my neighborhood by far!
