(Vinyl and composite fences) Vinyl and composite fences can last a lifetime and require very little maintenance. Vinyl and composite fences manufacturers claim that they are less expensive than wood in the long run, when you put in the expenses of repair, re-finishing and eventually replacement of the wood fences. Vinyl fences are made from PVC which is the same plastic used in waste pipes and vinyl house sidings. Composite fences are made from a mix of wood fibers and plastic resins. The wood fiber provides strength while the plastic keeps the material from rotting. Vinyl fencing exists for many years and comes in many styles. (Ornamental metal/Iron) Ornamental metal fences are designed to replace the elegant wrought iron designs of the past, they are made of aluminum and galvanized steel which are coated with a powder coat finish in order to prevent rust, It comes in many styles, colors and sizes.

(Stone/Brick and cedar fencing) The brick and cedar combination is an attractive, durable structure that will be the envy of your neighborhood. Instead of posts that are part of most fences, there are 72-inches brick pillars that look much more visually appealing. (Stone/Brick and rail fence) Stone and rail fence is constructed much the same way as the brick and cedar fence, however, it is made of stone rather than brick and simple 2 by 4 rails, rather than siding. Each pillar requires a footing that extends beyond its base. Give us a call for your next project. |
