Questions About Our Vinyl Fences
Manufacturer?
We do not manufacture vinyl fences or products. We do
supply vinyl fences nationwide to consumers and contractors. All standards below, but not
limited to what is below, must be met by manufacturers before we deal with their products.
Longevity?
Vinyl fences we supply are manufactured like vinyl siding, which has
a long track record of providing durability and longevity. However, the base ingredient
PVC (polyvinyl chloride), is altered to provide for increased superior impact resistance
and ultra violet protection. With our fences and proper installation, one can be assured
of a fence that will remain aesthetically appealing and structurally sound.
Warranty?
Vinyl fences we supply are warrantied against manufacturing defects
for the lifetime of the product. See warranty document for additional more specific
warranties.
Layered Strength?
Vinyl fences we supply have an exterior layer for ultra violet
protection and an interior built for impact resistance. They are co-extruded and will not
separate.
Recycled Plastic?
Vinyl fences we supply do not use the waste stream as a source. Some
other vinyl fences do and it reduces the quality of the products. Our vinyl fences are
recycleable and are used when the plastic meets rigid specifications.
Cold Weather Damage?
Naturally plastic becomes less flexible in cold temperatures. Vinyl
fences we supply are designed to withstand normal climatic changes. Under normal
conditions and without unusual impact, these fences will not snap or break. Proper
installation of concrete footers will prevent post heaving.
Color Loss?
Vinyl fences we supply are manufactured with titanium dioxide, which
decreases the likelihood of ultra violet damage.
Color Availability?
All the vinyl fences we supply are available in white. Some are
available in tan (ivory) and grey. Because titanium dioxide, a color loss and change
inhibitor, is white in pigment, it is difficult to provide darker colors. Naturally,
darker colors attract sun rays and heat, increasing the likelihood of warping, sagging,
and other sun damage.
Flammability?
Vinyl fences we supply are classified as
"self-extinguishing" and will not readily ignite.
Safety?
Because there are no protuding sharp screws, nails, and splinters,
injury is unlikely. The no-taste factor of PVC decreases the likelihood of horse chewing.
However, interior post caps are recommended for use with horses.
Expense?
In general, the initial cost of vinyl fencing is higher than other
fence styles. However, when compared on the long run, vinyl fencing remains
maintenance-free while other fence styles increase in maintenance and and repair costs.
