FAQs

How long can I expect my fence to last?
Two factors are very important.
The first is the type of material used.
For a wood fence, using cedar has lasted for over 30 years.
However the norm is 15 to 18 years.
Metal and vinyl last indefinitely.
The second and equally important factor is the method of installation.
Having your fence installed by a trained professional will ensure maximum strength and durability.
I've always had a problem with my gates; can this be prevented?
The most common problem with gates is poor installation of the gate post.

Beautiful and functional.
Buckminster Fuller, the famous architect, coined the phrase "Form follows function".
We improved on this by combining the best of form and function by using versatile vinyl in the construction of our beautiful porch railings.
