What does the "Lifetime Warranty" mean?
If the vinyl should ever discolor, peel,rot, pit, blister,warp,
rust, flake, crack, corrode, or be damaged by insects it would
be replaced by the factory free of charge.
How long has vinyl fence been around?
Vinyl fencing has been available since 1984 ( over 15 years).
It is the fastest growing product in the fencing industry with
sustained annual growth at 30% plus.
How strong is it?
It has five times the tensile strength of wood and four times
the flexibility. It flexes under load making it strong enough
to safely hold cattle and horses. Our manufacturers use impact
modifiers to make our fence strong and forgiving for horses and
riders as well as other farm animals.
Can I install it myself?
If you can use a level, a tape measure, a post hole digger and
a sting line- and are willing to take the time to do the job right-
you can probably do the job yourself. We have written instructions
available as well as a video tape. For the larger jobs some people
like to hire a professional for the hole drilling or the entire
job.
Can I put a hot wire on it?
Yes you can. The entire vinyl post is an insulator which means
you won't need any special hardware. All you have to do is drill
a hole in the posts and string the wire through. You should probably
use a wire that is resistant to rust and corrosion.
How does it compare to wood?
It is stronger, lasts much longer, safer, looks better, and costs
much less over time. It can cost the same as or more than wood
initially depending local wood prices, type of wood and style
of fence or deck but over it's life it is about one third of the
cost.
How do you set the posts?
The posts are set in concrete in the ground from 24 to 36 inches
deep and in some cases cement is put inside the posts with re-bar
for exceptional strength. (This is not recommended for livestock
because it makes it too strong.)
Can I paint it?
Paint doesn't adhere well to the surface which is good in the
case of graffiti but bad if you like to paint things. The color
of the vinyl goes all the way through so it can't be scratched
or chipped off which means it will never need to be painted.
Will it discolor or become brittle over time?
It is warranted by the factory for your lifetime to never do that.
We use a U.V.inhibitor called titanium dioxide at a rate of 10
parts per hundred which creates a solar barrier equivalent to
a sun block of 38 so the sun can't break it down.

Is the warranty still good if you're out of
business?
The lifetime warranty is made by the manufacturer. These are large
national companies with many years in business. Although it is
possible that they could go out of business, it's not likely,
particularly since they are all growing at an average rate of
30% per year.
