Wooden fence is widely used, but the problems it brings are obvious. Damage the forest, damage the environment, at the same time, the use of wood made of fence, even if the anti-corrosion treatment, will with the passage of time, by nature bit by bit corrosion.

In the 1990s, with the maturity of PVC extrusion technology, as well as the excellent product performance of PVC itself, PVC profiles are widely used in the production of doors and Windows. When the wages of workers in some developed countries are getting higher and higher, the cost of maintenance and protection of wooden fence is getting higher and higher. It is natural that PVC fence has been widely accepted and welcomed by the market.

As a kind of PVC fence, cellular PVC fence has a strong anti-corrosion performance of PVC fence, and has the same easy processing performance as wood. At the same time, if the surface of the cellular profile is sanded, it can be painted in different colors to match the appearance of the building. However, if we understand the structure of cellular PVC, we can also easily find that the cost of making cellular PVC is very high because it is solid like wood. These characteristics determine the application scenario of cellular PVC, which should have its unique value in the high-end market of customized colors and styles.

Here are some of its advantages.

The basic advantages of PVC fence:

First, in the later use, consumers do not need to take paint and other maintenance, it has a natural self-cleaning and flame retardant function. The characteristic of PVC material is that it can be maintained in a relatively new state for a long time, and maintenance free. This not only saves the cost of manpower and material resources for users, but also improves the beauty of the product itself.

Second, the installation of PVC fence is very simple. Usually when you install a picket fence, there are special connectors to connect it. Not only can improve the installation efficiency, but also more solid and stable.

Third, the new generation of PVC fence provides a variety of styles, specifications and colors. Whether it is used as the daily security protection of the house or the overall decoration style, it can set off a modern and simple aesthetic feeling.

Fourth, the material of PVC fence is very environmentally friendly and safe, and there is no harmful component for human beings and animals. In addition, it will not like metal fence, cause a certain safety accident.

Fifth, PVC fence even if it receives direct exposure to ultraviolet rays in the outdoors for a long time, there will still be no yellowing, fading, cracking and bubbling. High quality PVC fence can reach at least 20 years, no color, no discoloration.

Sixth, the rail of PVC fence is equipped with a hard aluminum alloy insert as a strengthening support, not only to prevent the deformation of the rail, more with sufficient impact resistance performance, can better extend the service life of PVC fence, and improve the safety of PVC fence to a greater extent.

Nowadays, we can see PVC fences as part of landscaping in streets, homes, communities and farms in cities and villages around the world. It is believed that in the future, PVC fence will be selected by more and more consumers with the improvement of people’s living standards and the strengthening of environmental protection awareness. As the leader of PVC fence industry, FenceMaster will continue to strengthen product research and development, application and promotion, and provide high-quality PVC fence solutions for global customers.

PVC extrusion is a high speed manufacturing process in which raw plastic is melted and formed into a continuous long profile. Extrusion produces products like plastic profiles, plastic pipes,  PVC deck railings, PVC window frames, plastic films, sheeting, wires, and PVC fence profiles, are widely used in many fields.This extrusion process starts by feeding PVC compound from a hopper into the barrel of the extruder. The compound is gradually melted by the mechanical energy generated by turning screws and by heaters arranged along the barrel. The molten polymer is then forced into a die, or called extrusion moulds, which shapes the PVC compound into a specific shape, such as fence post, fence rail, or fence pickets that hardens during cooling.In the extrusion of PVC, the raw compound material is commonly in the form of powder that are gravity fed from a top mounted hopper into the barrel of the extruder. Additives such as pigment, UV inhibitors and PVC stabilizer are often used and can be mixed into the resin prior to arriving at the hopper. Therefore, as far as PVC fence production, we suggest our customers to stay with only one color in one order, or that cost of changing extrusion molds would be high. However, if customers have to have colored profiles in one order, details can be discussed.The process has much in common with plastic injection molding from the point of the extruder technology, although it differs in that it is usually a continuous process. While pultrusion can offer many similar profiles in continuous lengths, usually with added reinforcing, this is achieved by pulling the finished product out of a mold instead of extruding the polymer melt through a mold. In other words, fence profile lengths, such as posts, rails, and pickets, they all can be customized in a specific lengths. For examples, a full privacy fence could be 6ft height by 8 ft width, it could also be 6ft height by 6 ft width. Some of our customers, they buy raw fence materials, then cut into specific lengths in their workshop, and fabricate different specification fences to meet all their customers needs.

Therefore, we use mono extrusion technology to produce PVC fence’s posts, rails and pickets, and use injection technology and machines to produce post caps, connectors, and picket points. Whatever the materials are made by extrusion or injection machines, our engineers will control the colors stay in tolerance from run to run. We work in fence industry, know what customers care, help them grow, that’s FenceMaster’s Mission and value.

You can paint over a vinyl fence, but you will have some negative consequences.

Considerations for painting a vinyl fence:

Vinyl fencing is made of durable material that withstands the elements and is low maintenance. You simply have it installed, wash it periodically with a hose, and enjoy it. However, If you choose to paint it, you virtually negate this benefit.

Vinyl is non-porous, so most paints won’t adhere to it properly. If you paint it, clean it immaculately first with a soap and water mixture, then use a primer. Use an epoxy-based acrylic paint which should adhere best to vinyl because latex and oil don’t contract and expand. However, you will still risk having it peel or damage the vinyl surface.

Many times, once you have thoroughly cleaned your vinyl fence, it will sparkle like new, and you’ll reconsider having it painted.

Consider if your fence is under warranty. Painting the fence might void any manufacturer’s warranty still in effect due to the possibility of paint damaging the vinyl’s surface.

The best vinyl fence style is an important choice when installing a new fence around your property. The type is not only about the look it gives to your boundary; it also affects the function of the fence, so keeping a few things in mind is vital to choosing wisely:

The Best Vinyl Fence Provides Functionality

Is privacy your number one priority? Depending on the location and other factors you must consider related to privacy, many people rate it at the top. If you like the decorative look, there are privacy fences with the top 1 ft. featuring lattice, bars, etc.

However, if you merely want to keep children and pets from running out of the yard and still enjoy a beautiful view beyond the fence, other styles are more suitable, such as ranch, picket, and crossbuck.

It Can Also Provide Height

If you live in an HOA (Home Owners Association), you must install a fence in compliance with the guidelines. Even if you aren’t subject to these restrictions, height can be a factor with permits, so be confident you are within the proper parameters.

Aesthetics Are Important for Your Vinyl Fence Choice

Depending on the style of your home, be it Victorian, modern, or rustic, the type of fence you choose should flow naturally. Superior Fence and Rail professionals are experienced and will help you sort out these options to find what’s best for you.

What makes pool fences safe?

Let’s look at a few qualifications.

The pool fence should completely enclose the pool or hot tub, and it creates a permanent and non-removable barrier between your family and the pool it protects.

The fence is non-climbable to small children. Its construction does not provide for any hand or foot holds that would enable climbing. It will keep any child from being able to pass through, under, or over it.

The fence meets or exceeds local codes and state recommendations. Pool safety codes dictate that pool fences must be 48” tall. However, some believe this means the actual height of the panel should be 48” in height, but we know differently. The installed, finished height of your pool safety fence should be 48”. Your Superior pool fence panel will exceed 48”, so the installed fence height will meet or exceed that code.

Virgin Vinyl Fencing

Virgin vinyl fencing is the preferred material for your vinyl fencing project. Some companies will use a substandard material composed of co-extruded vinyl where only the outer wall is virgin vinyl, and the inner wall is made from recycled vinyl (regrind). Often the regrind material out there is not recycled fence material but vinyl window and door lineal, which is inferior grade material. Finally, recycled vinyl tends to grow mildew and mold quickly, which you don’t want.

Review the warranty

Review the warranty offered on the vinyl fence. Ask the essential questions before signing any paperwork. Is there a warranty? Can you get a quote in writing before any agreement is reached? Fly-by-night businesses and scams will pressure you to sign before a quote is offered, and without a warranty or permit information is reviewed many times. Be certain the company has insurance and is licensed and bonded.

Look at Size and Thickness Specifications

Discuss this with the company, inspect the fencing materials yourself and cost compare. You want a quality fence that will withstand high winds and weather and last for years to come.

Select your Design Style, Color, and Texture.

Many styles, colors, and textures are available to you. You will need to consider which will complement your home, go with the flow of your neighborhood, and comply with your HOA, if necessary.

Consider Fence Post Caps

Fence post caps are decorative and extend the life of your decking and fence for years to come. They come in several styles and colors from which to choose. FENCEMASTER’s standard fence caps are the pyramid flat caps; they also offer vinyl Gothic caps and New England caps,  for an additional price.

Why install a privacy fence?

Privacy

You can keep nosy neighbors or passersby from peering into your yard. Also, a privacy fence reduces noise from other homes.; we all appreciate a quieter outside experience.

Safety

Keeping small children and pets in the yard is essential. So installing a fence with a locking gate is a safety measure. If you have a pool, the law requires a fence, and a garden would be essential to put a barrier around, too.

Shelter

Protect your yard and family, especially tiny children, from roaming animals and unleashed pets. Whether it is deer, raccoons, snakes, or dogs, animals that freely wander into your yard that are unfenced can destroy your yard or cause harm to people.

Safety

Crimes by thieves and trespassers are often deterred if belongings are not easily accessible. Fencing off the property will reinforce a strong level of safety.
