In a world where many businesses often prioritize profits over people, it’s refreshing to encounter a company that genuinely places community at its core. My recent conversation with Clint Iams, CEO of Log Cabin Fence, provided a window into a company deeply rooted in both its craft and its commitment to giving back. As we discussed the history of the business, its current challenges, and future plans, one thing became abundantly clear: Log Cabin Fence is more than just a fencing company—it’s a pillar of support in our region.
The history of Log Cabin Fence is as sturdy as the products they create. Founded in the 1980s by Clint’s parents, Bill and Judy, with innovative techniques like the post-mounting truck, the company has always been more than just a fence builder. Over the years, Log Cabin Fence has evolved, steadfastly maintaining its commitment to quality and service while adapting to the changing needs of both clients and the community.
A particularly compelling aspect of our conversation was Clint's profound commitment to community involvement. Log Cabin Fence has a longstanding tradition of supporting diverse initiatives, from Relay for Life fundraisers to agricultural events. Their dedication extends to local volunteer fire departments and participation in the North American Fence Contractors Association (NAFCA) annual volunteer service project at Arlington National Cemetery.
Their support of the Washington County Fair further exemplifies their commitment to enhancing the agricultural community in Southwestern Pennsylvania. By sponsoring and participating in the fair, they provide memorable experiences for families and emphasize the importance of agriculture within the region. As this year’s Washington County Fair draws to a close tomorrow, make sure to visit Log Cabin Fence if you're attending. Clint will be there, ready to greet you with his trademark warmth and enthusiasm—don’t miss the chance to experience his genuine community spirit firsthand!
One of the standout moments of the year was the return of the Log Cabin Cares Clay Pigeon Benefit, a cherished charitable event hosted by Log Cabin Fence. This year's event exceeded expectations, raising double their initial goal. The proceeds benefited Marianna Christian Outreach, an organization that provides vital support to individuals in Marianna and the surrounding areas, including food, gently used clothing, and furniture. The event’s success not only showcases the company's dedication to making a meaningful impact but also exemplifies the collective spirit of generosity that makes such initiatives possible.
Looking ahead, Clint is enthusiastic about continuing this tradition of giving. The next big event will benefit Horses with Hope, an organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of children, youth, and adults by helping them reach beyond their abilities. Having worked with Horses with Hope for years, Clint is eager to see how their contributions will further support this important cause.
As Clint spoke about the future of Log Cabin Fence, he emphasized the importance of quality and customization in their work. Whether it’s a deer fence to protect crops, a privacy fence for a backyard, or a steel-framed structure for farm equipment storage, Log Cabin Fence is committed to delivering unique, durable solutions that meet the specific needs of their clients.
Beyond their work, Clint also highlighted the importance of mentorship and supporting the next generation. He proudly mentioned his son, who recently received a scholarship from the Pennsylvania Builders Exchange and is now studying mechanical engineering at Baylor University. It’s clear that the values of hard work, community involvement, and dedication to quality are being passed down, ensuring that Log Cabin Fence will continue to be a positive force in the community for years to come.
In an era where it’s easy to feel disconnected, Log Cabin Fence stands out as a beacon of what happens when a company prioritizes people above all else. Their unwavering commitment to local causes and dedication to exceptional craftsmanship truly reflects their core values. Log Cabin Fence isn’t just in the business of building fences—they’re in the business of fostering a stronger, more connected community. Their efforts serve as a powerful reminder of the profound impact that can be achieved when we invest in the well-being of those around us.
