Fencing
What About Wood Fencing?: Wood and masonry has been used for siding, exterior trim, windows, doors, railing and — fence for centuries. It has to be in our DNA. How else would you explain our affair with wood decks, railing and fence. It’s not a love affair. What’s to love?In the latter part of the 20th century aluminum and vinyl siding, trim and windows found their way into the market. They looked and performed better than wood and became a big hit. Some still want wood windows as long as they’re clad with aluminum or vinyl on the outside and painted on the inside. That makes sense.
Vinyl railing and fencing has taken a little longer, but its continued beauty and easy care is what homeowners want. Who wants ugly? Who wants to paint the fence? Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn had it right. Let’s go fishing on the river!

What About Vinyl Fence?: All vinyl fence is not the same. Preassembled fence sections are limited to 6′ widths. They’re held together with 3″ stringers that fit into brackets surface mounted on the posts. Even with a 6′ wide fence panel the brackets fail in a strong wind. With this type of fence, you may find the posts are not long enough to provide the stability that’s needed for taller fences..
Quality fence is assembled on the job with 2 x 6 stringers so the vertical pickets recess deep enough in the stringers to withstand strong wind gusts. The posts are routed to allow the stringers to insert into the posts and fastened with rail locks, also to withstand strong wind gusts. The posts are long enough to go deeper into the ground for that extra stability. The bottom of the posts are routed to key into the backfill or cement placed in the post hole. The bottom stringer has metal reinforcing to keep 8′ width fence from sagging. Quality fence is stronger and looks much nicer. It has a limited lifetime warranty. No more painting. We sell quality fence. You’ll be proud of it.
