Aluminum Fence Facts

ian_sunshine — Wed, 13 May 2009 00:07:20 +0000

Aluminum fence is very popular for those who are looking to secure their yard while preserving a view. We have installed decorative aluminum fences at some of the finest homes in the area. Lake front homes, houses on golf courses, houses on nature preserves and places that don’t require a privacy fence.
These fences are produced with hundreds of different options. The picket sizes vary from 5/8’s of inch, to 3/4’s of an inch and to 1″ in diameter. The top of the fence can be flat, come with pressed spears, or decorative finials. Some of the adornments that can be added for a custom touch are estate scrolls, butterfly’s, rings and ball caps.
One of the pet friendly features available is what is called a “Puppy PIcket”. This feature keeps even the smallest pets contained. The bottom 18″ of the fence section comes with double pickets that allow only a 1.5″ gap. This is a necessity for someone looking to keep in a very small dog or pet.
Virtually all of the aluminum available today is powder coated rather than painted. This finish is guaranteed not to chip, crack peel or fade.
We recommend using aluminum from just a few select manufacturers. There are some manufacturers that use very plain and unappealing extrusions. We avoid these suppliers completely.
For more details please contact us for an in home consultation. Our estimators will be sure to bring samples and help you pick out the perfect design to suit your taste.

Vinyl Fence Information

ian_sunshine — Sat, 09 May 2009 20:42:34 +0000

Vinyl is a short way of saying “Poly Vinyl Chloride” or PVC.
It is a very durable product that can withstand the harsh outdoor environment. It is safe and does not leach chemicals into the soil or environment. Vinyl is classified as self extinguishing which means that if it is lit on fire is will self extinguish and not continue to burn.
Vinyl is a product which can be recycled. It can be ground and then reformed into other vinyl products.
Virgin Vinyl: This is new material that has not been recycled. We recommend using virgin vinyl fence. “Regrind” or “Grey-back” is a recycled vinyl that has a greater chance of having varying consistency.

Co-extrusions are used only in top quality vinyl. The inner layer adds strength and flexibility while the outer layer has UV inhibiting compounds. The main UV inhibiting compound is titanium dioxide. This is the same UV inhibiting compound found in sun tan lotion.

A big difference in the vinyl available today is the way it is held together. High quality vinyl fence is held together with pre-routed posts and pocket rails. Low quality fence is constructed with blank posts, metal brackets and then the flimsy pre-assembled fence sections are screwed to the brackets. Top quality vinyl fences don’t use screws! The differences really add up and we recommend seeking the consultation of a professional before purchasing a fence that is designed to last a lifetime.

Soil Conditions for fence installation in Central Florida

ian_sunshine — Sat, 09 May 2009 19:38:36 +0000

In the Orlando area we are fortunate to have soil with few underground obstacles such as shale, coral, rocks and boulders. This allows us to put our posts where we want them without having to use backhoes and jack hammers to smash through hard objects. In other parts of the country installation costs are significantly higher due to the extra equipment and labor needed to set the posts.
The soil here is comprised mostly of fine sand. The fine sand does not compact well and for this reason we recommend using pre-mixed concrete on each and every post. The concrete is mixed and hardens and it helps keep the posts straight and strong.
