CREATION & STYLES

Vinyl is created by combining vinyl resin with various additives in a heating and cooling process, creating a bond between the ingredients. This makes the final product extremely durable, even in extreme climates.

Vinyl and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) come in a wide variety of sizes and thicknesses, which are compatible with many different applications.

QUESTIONS

When specifying a vinyl fence, it is recommended that all homeowners, architects, engineers, and specifiers consider the following questions:

• Is it made in the U.S.A.?
• How much wind load does this fence need to bear?
  • Vinyl fences are durable, withstanding extreme climate conditions. The properties of vinyl make it resistant to fire, meaning that it is a self-extinguishing material.
• Do the rails need to be reinforced, or is the standard gauge adequate for your purposes?
• Do the posts need to be reinforced with concrete? How much?
• Do the posts need to be installed below the frost line?

Local building codes should always be consulted for the minimum fencing requirements in that area.
