San Antonio Park Project Wins Fence Industry Design Award
The Les Grube Design Award is the highest honor bestowed upon fence projects in North America. This prestigious award recognizes excellence in design, innovation, and value creation for successful commercial fencing installations.
COLUMBIA, Md., Nov. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Chain Link Fence Manufacturers Institute (CLFMI) has announced the 2021-2022 Les Grube Memorial Design Award has been given to designer/installer Buster Simpson, LLC, Yakima, WA, for their work on the Pearsall Park Wickiup Encampment Project.
The Wickiup Encampment is a shade structure designed and installed by Buster Simpson LLC along a public walking trail at Pearsall Park. The Park was designed by BWC Design, San Antonio, Texas. Wickiup Encampment was funded by San Antonio Public Art.
The wickiup "blankets" consist of five layers of mesh. All five layers are secured with stainless steel ties. The twisted wire ends of each blanket are capped with swaged sleeves. The blankets at Wickiup Encampment have a center layer consisting of UV stabilized powder coated woven wire chain link (3/8" mini-mesh) with two layers of stainless-steel twisted wire mesh on either side. The center layer was assembled by weaving different colored coils together to create an innovative multi-colored blanket effect. (Note: This project was also a recipient of a national award from the Americans for the Arts Public Art Network). View more images here http://www.bustersimpson.net/middenmoundwickiups/
