FAQ Aren’t all vinyl fences the
same?
No. Vinyl fence system components are available in a wide range of sizes and
thickness. To reduce costs, some manufacturers decrease their wall thickness
resulting in reduced strength.
Don’t all vinyl/ fences stand up to wear and tear?
Not necessarily A light (standard) system may bend and break easily due to
even the most common occurrences, such as a person climbing or sitting on it.
Additionally, a weak fence can result in poor performance. For example, children leaning against a fence may
dislodge rails in a standard vinyl fence system. However, a properly engineered
system with a heavier wall thickness and secure rail connection will make a
vinyl fence stronger and more durable.
How is vinyl fencing manufactured?
The best products are made from virgin vinyl which ensures that the product
is made using contents most appropriate for its application. Recycled vinyl can
contain “contaminates” that may not be appropriate for the application or may
compromise the integrity of the product.
For vinyl to have the characteristics necessary for fencing, it must be combined
with special additives and modifiers to make it strong and
durable. The formula contains UV inhibitors that guard against the sun’s harsh
rays and additives that make the vinyl rigid, yet flexible enough to resist
cracking. The two most common methods for manufacturing vinyl fencing are a
mono-extrusion process that uses one vinyl compound and a co-extrusion process
that uses two or more vinyl compounds.
How safe
are vinyl fences?
Unlike some treated wood fencing, vinyl is an environmentally safe material
with no toxins to pollute the sky or seep into the ground. Vinyl fencing has a
smooth surface, no nails, sharp edges or splinters.
Isn’t vinyl more expensive than wood?
Before investing in a fence, annual maintenance and replacement costs must be
considered. A wood fence system initially costs less than vinyl, but wood
systems require laborious maintenance (including scraping, sanding, priming and
painting) every 2-3 years. Conversely, vinyl fencing has almost zero-maintenance
cost and will never need painting. Unlike wood, vinyl isn’t subject to termite
infestation which can increase the likelihood of costly partial or full
replacement of a wood fence system. Although your initial investment is more with
vinyl, the cost difference is quickly eliminated when you consider the
substantial cost of maintaining a wood fence.
Will a quality fence cost more?
Yes. Good quality material and
workmanship always costs more than sub-standard products, while labor, concrete
and building permits cost the same regardless of the chosen material quality.
Although a sub-standard product may cost less, the risk of future maintenance
and/or replacement costs may outweigh any benefits the lower price may seem to
offer. As the saying goes ‘you get what you pay for."
What should I ask for before I invest in a fence?
You’ve made a great start by reading this information.. Ask for samples of
the product and make comparisons.
Are all product warranties the same?
No. Most products only come with a short limited warrantee, our product comes
with a manufactures lifetime warrantee.
