When you’re starting a new project or build, it’s helpful to think about the foundation first instead of focusing on everything at once, which can be overwhelming and unproductive.

That means taking the time to thoughtfully outline and plan what you want for your project and then moving forward accordingly.So, why are shims and Nuvo Iron Legacy Fence critical to the foundation of a project? Well, let’s get into what they are first:

Shims

  • Shims are thin pieces of material that fill gaps, level surfaces and adjust the fit between objects. Nuvo Iron sells innovative ‘Broadfix’ Shims, which utilize a plastic material making them more durable and longer lasting due to their ability to resist moisture. We will discuss more about this below.

Nuvo Iron Legacy Fence System

  • Our Legacy Fence System is one of our latest innovations, inspired by the ever-popular Coral residential iron fence. It redefines outdoor aesthetics by merging traditional craftsmanship with modern convenience. 
  • We simplified the line to make the installation process easier than ever—we even have a how-to video you can watch as you complete each step and work towards a fence that will last for seasons to come.

Ok, so now we know what shims and the Nuvo Legacy Fence System are. 

Why are they so critical to the foundation of a project?

Let’s start with shims.

Shims are sort of like connectors. They may not be super noticeable or flashy like a brand-new beautiful iron fence, but they still make a big difference in your project.

Inside or outside, our plastic shims hold their integrity and won’t degrade like their wooden counterparts will when moisture is involved.

Many people don’t even know they need shims and, over time, little alignment and spacing issues become magnified and can cause you to head to the hardware store sooner than anticipated.

To determine if you need shims for your space, talk with your contractor and be sure that you’re setting up your new project for success.

Now let’s talk about legacy fence.

Legacy fence, or Nuvo Iron Coral fence, is a stunning way to start off your project. It secures your property in style and lasts for a lifetime. Once you’ve set that foundation, you can work your way inwards, toward the house, and think about things like which balusters you like and whether you prefer ball post caps or pyramid caps.

But before you can get to that, starting with an amazing fence provides you with a solid foundation that you know will provide you with the perfect foundation for years and years to come.
