J.R. O’Brien, owner of Xtreme Fence, got his start twenty years ago working for a company that sold pool enclosures. When most people think of pool safety, they think of lifeguards and swimming lessons. However, it is important for pool owners to consider the importance of installing a fence to maintain control of access to their pool. Mr. O’Brien found that many of the fences available at that time were expensive, rusted easily, or weren’t durable to stand up to the punishment of “children, pets, and landscapers.” In 2000, Mr. O’Brien opened his own fence manufacturing shop to create fences that are not just attractive, with a variety of ornamental features, but are also hand welded and designed to weather the elements.
 
Since starting his company, the awards have streamed in to recognize Xtreme Fence’s superior products and business ethics. In 2003, Mr. O’Brien was named the Alpharetta Businessman of the Year. In 2005 and 2006, Xtreme Fence was awarded the Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics by the Better Business Bureau. In 2007, they were named first runner-up for this same award.

Also in 2007, the Georgia State University Robinson College of Business awarded Xtreme Fence with the MAX award for their Trinity Fence. According to Mr. O’Brien, the Trinity Fence “is the antidote to a high priced fence." Ornamental like a more expensive fence, the Trinity uses 25% less material and costs less than those more expensive brands. Xtreme Fence is extremely proud of all their accomplishments and strives to continue providing the best product for their customers.
