Precast concrete is increasingly being used in residential, commercial, and municipal projects because it is cost effective, incredibly durable, and very versatile. One such use for precast concrete is fences and walls, which can be installed as privacy fences, sound walls, utility/security walls, retaining walls, and even wood-like ranch rail fences.
