Barrette Outdoor Living

Why we do what we doOur company was built almost a hundred years ago on a foundation that has withstood the many tests of time. Our original family members passionately believed that one should “Let your imagination take you beyond your dreams”. Through the decades that have since passed, our employees have become the guardians of this and other values held dear at the onset of our business. They endure and thrive because they are at the heart of everything we do. Barrette Outdoor Living, creates some of the highest quality fencing, railing and exterior products available on the market, but there is far more to who we are than that. We remain a family-owned, private business and want our approximately 1,900 employees to be safe, happy and achieve whatever they can in life and with their careers. Though our employees are located in many states, with many different regional cultures, our values remain constant. We truly are a family business, and, just like a family...WE CARE. Barrette realized long ago that the single most essential investment we could make in support of our goals is in our employees – specifically their personal and professional development. This is an ongoing investment and one that we continue to reap the rewards from, as do all of our employees. We care about what we do, how we do it and who we do it with and we align our values to meet the needs of our customers. We strive to enhance their lives through the products and services we provide.How we do what we doWe realize that in order to thrive we need to be flexible. We need our people, our processes and our equipment to be adaptable and to welcome the constant change that will keep us at the forefront of the dynamic markets that we operate within. We have a proven track record of innovation, and as a result, at Barrette you will find state of the art manufacturing equipment (much of it proprietary) and continuous production and distribution process improvement. You will find teams within all business functions who strive for increased efficiencies, improved effectiveness and a willingness to learn from mistakes as envelopes are pushed.We design our own products and we manage their development and introduction within our markets. We design most of our equipment ourselves to reach higher levels of efficiency. We partner closely with our customers with whom we view as partners and an extension of our family. We want to “wow” them with our service while having fun doing it. We have innovative Health and Wellness programs supported by many resources and providers - entirely for the benefit of our family and their families. We work hard to encourage our employees to be healthy and happy.What we doWe manufacture and distribute fence, railing and associated complementary products from a variety of materials through multiple sites and sell to a variety of customers among many channels.
