Thought you might be interested in seeing our new driveway gate and operators. We are extremely pleased with Hoover Fence and especially the employees we've had contact with. The gate and operators work without a hitch. Gate took me about three hours to install. The GTO PRO operators about six hours, including the in -driveway loop detector. We have received numerous compliments on the gate and hardware systems. Even our FedEx / UPS and pest control people find it easy to use! We can't wait to install the matching fence hopefully this spring!
We wish you all a very safe and happy holiday season,
Anthony and Karen M.

Just a note to say thanks for the fast service. I ordered a printed circuit board for a GTO PRO 2000 gate opener on Monday 06-10-02 and didn't expect it until Wednesday 06-12-02 but I received it yesterday 06-11-02. Great service!
THANKS!

Dear Frank,
First I wish to thank you for all the support and advice you gave me in making my decision to purchase the GTO/PRO gate operating system. Next, I appreciate the promptness in which the order was handled.
I have the entire system installed and operating properly. It is a big relief not having to get out of the car and open then close the gate every time we go through.
It has been a pleasure doing business with you.

Just wanted to drop you a line and say thanks for the great customer support I have received from your company. The fence really looks great and I can not express how impressed I am with the looks and how really easy it is to install. Once again thanks. What a great experience I have had with your company.

Dear Mr. Hoover,
Let me tell you how you spell quality workmanship and customer satisfaction. It's spelled: H-o-o-v-e-r F-e-n-c-e!
Both of your installers did a good job. It was a pleasure to watch them work. I thought you should know. They were very precise and exacting in how they did the job. They took no shortcuts.
Thank you very much.

Hi Frank,
Nice enhancement of the Hoover Fence homepage!! You've obviously
been busy these evenings reorganizing all the fence information
into a very helpful site. Since I see you have a "Referrals"
section, let me add to what I'm sure I've said and written to you
before and say that we were (and remain) completely pleased by your
company's courtesy and professionalism, and for your willingness to
go the extra mile to make the job come out right. And with 6300'
feet of fence installed the phrase "extra mile" is certainly
applicable. You reaffirmed our belief that the quality of a job is
what you remember long after any trials or tribulations that had to
be handled during an installation. Now that I think about it, you
handled all the tribulations so that we didn't have to. Thanks.
Since we had the chance to meet most of your family let me
introduce you to the newest members of ours. Attached please find
some jpeg files with photos of our Lipizzan colt, Chesapeake
(Chessie for short). He and his mom, Avatara, are enjoying their
time in the Maryland suburbs, and are looking forward to making
good use of all that fence you installed.
Best regards,
George Smith
Editors Comment:
Another satisfied customer at Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia. This area of the country is among the most beautiful in America. See the heavy four-rail Post and Rail vinyl fence that is ideal for horses. We installed this one.
This is a 4 rail 100% vinyl post and rail fence installed by Hoover Fence Co. It has the flat interior type caps. They fit on the inside of the post so horses can't bite the cap off the post. Our crews only travel south for installations during the winter months. If you are in a warm winter climate (above 32 degrees F.), we can quote you a price for a December through February installation.
This job was 6300' of fence. We are not really interested in installing your small backyard fence, unless you are in the Bahamas or Keys of Florida. This job had 800 posts and used 80 yards of concrete. Unless you are tough as nails, leave this size job for the "Professionals". Some holes had to be jack hammered (key words here are "Mountain Lake"). Our crews are some of the finest of many fence professionals across the USA and we are proud of them. Smaller jobs can easily be done by the average homeowner with a little "grunt" work and the ability to read a level.
If you do have some equipment to drill the holes and move the concrete, you can save yourself thousands of dollars in installation fees.
Features:
2" x 6" ribbed rails
5" x 5" posts
12" x 42" concrete footers
Ring retainers for rails
100% virgin vinyl (reground vinyl is taboo!)
Lesson 1: Keep the vinyl rails clean to avoid scratching as they are slid into the prerouted posts.
Some Facts: The height of the fence is about 57" to the top rail. Flat interior caps are used for horse fence to make it more difficult for the horses to bite the cap edge on exterior types. The rails are a full 2" thick by 6" wide.
Lesson 2: 16' rails were used for additional strength. Each rail spans 3 posts and the ends are placed alternating so all 4 rails do not end at the same line post.
Concrete Footers: 12" diameter x 42" deep. Posts are stuck into the wet concrete after pouring to assure that each one is filled on the interior also. Failure to do so will allow water and temperatures to "bust" the footers apart. Each end and corner post is filled with concrete to the top rail and reinforced with 1/2" rebar. In addition, we filled line posts on long runs about every 120' or so. We find it best to keep footers 2-6" below the grade to prevent post-heaving. Figure 8-9 posts per yard depending on digging conditions. We got hit hard on demurrage charges because our 3 yard pours exceeded the 1 hour dump time allowed by our concrete company. Most of the concrete had to be carried by front-loader to the holes. Faster dump times and bigger loads could be handled along the driveway where concrete was "chuted" into the holes.

Thank you for being so courteous and polite and doing a fine job of installing our fence. We appreciate it very much.

A satisfied customer at Sky Valley Motel & Cottages, located in Bartlett, New Hampshire. They installed this themselves.
We purchased our fence from HOOVER FENCE CO. in Newton Falls, Ohio. They have a web site that can answer any question about any kind of fence you could imagine. I think they live-up to their goal of "providing the best site on the web about fences". You can find their site using any decent search engine.
Ramsay and I took about 4 days to get it all put together and "planted".
And check this out, we used all kinds of "professional-tools", like a level, tape measure, cement and our tractor came in handy for digging holes and mixing and lugging cement. Pictured below is a perfect example of what happens when you don't dig the hole wide enough to center the post.
A mechanical post-hole digger that mounts on the back of a tractor is an absolute necessity for "lazy-types" like us... digging the holes is the hardest part of the job. The fence pieces slide together without any tools. That's Mt. Attitash Ski Area in the background in case you were wondering. This picture was taken in mid April, they still had lots of snow.
Frank,
I have been meaning to send this photo to you since completing the fence last June. This is one of two pictures that I have of the vinyl fence around our pool. The other is from a distance and shows the whole project. Just e-mail me if you wish to see the other picture. We have been very pleased with our decision to install the fence around the pool. All our neighbors comment on how good it looks.
In fact, the pool installer was impressed with how easy it was for me to install it by myself. It took me approximately 12 hours to install. That includes hand digging all the post holes (all 22 holes). The job went quickly due to the fact there was no rock and the soil was lose from the spring rains. I did run into one problem. Due to the fact that I was installing the gate at almost 110 degrees from the main fence, it was lacking structure support at the top of the post. I installed as per instructions and filled the posts with concrete and steel. But there was still some sage in the gate.
I resolved the problem by building a trellis over the gate. I filled the vinyl trellis with pressure treated lumber and bolted it together. It was the finishing touch we needed at the entrance to the pool. The picture was take before the trellis. Before ordering the fence, I quizzed you on the difference in your product and Home Depot's product. I am very glad we didn't use Home Depot's product. The quality difference was like night and day. Thanks for your help.
