AFA held AFA University On The Road June 9-11 in Waverly, Nebraska. 42 students attended Fence Installation School, 24 students attended Gate Automation Designer School, and 22 students attended the all-new Chain Link Gate Fabrication and Welding class. Attendees learned best practices for fence installation, designing automated gate systems, and fabricating and welding chain link gates. Everyone took a huge amount of knowledge back to their companies and thoroughly enjoyed their time in Nebraska!
