Determining the Right Style of Fence + Click to expand / shrink

What styles of fence are available?

Virtually any fence style that can be made out of wood or ornamental iron can be made out of vinyl. The vinyl fence styles we can manufacture are only limited by your imagination. You can browse the many products available under the products page.

Can you make gates from the product?

Gates can be made from the same material you use in any vinyl fence or vinyl railing. We have spent years designing a gate that not only matches and looks great with your fence, but also will last over time. On larger gates, we use the help of welded steel gate frames to make sure that you have the best gates available.

Color Availability?

Most of the vinyl fences we supply are available in white and tan. We also have many premium colors in wood grain.

How tall can I make my vinyl fence?

You have many height options with vinyl fencing, it is recommended that any fence over 6' tall have the posts reinforced. Always check with local building codes before having your vinyl fence installed.

I would like to learn more about vinyl products in general.

We have provided our vinyl FAQ section to help answer many of the questions that we have heard our customers ask over the years. If you still have questions after reading this section, please do not hesitate to call or contact us using the live chat or contact request form on the site.

Determining What to Order + Click to expand / shrink

How do I figure out the amount of vinyl fencing I need?

Prior to ordering, it is very helpful to do a fence layout with measurements for each length of fence. We have provided a fence layout page that is designed to assist you with determining the number of posts and panels you will need. If you still have questions, we are here to assist you any time that you need help. You are always welcome to fax your layout to (480) 988-2429 and we can determine the number of posts and panels for you.

What is the difference between the different types of posts?

There are five different post options for each type of fence. A line post would be used when a fence section is on both sides of the posts. An end post is used when there is only a section of fence on one side of the post (for example, at the end of a line of fence or at the gates). A corner post is used at corners, and a T post is used when there is a need for fence to run 3 different ways on the posts. Blank posts are most commonly used when a gate is up against the house and you simply need a post against the house for a latch or hinge post and no fence will be going into the post.

Do you cement the posts?

For maximum stability, we recommend that posts be cemented. It is recommended that you treat vinyl posts the same as you would wood posts. If it is common and normal to cement fence posts in your area, then you should cement the vinyl posts.

How big should the hole be if I'm cementing the posts?

A good rule of thumb is to dig the hole twice the diameter of the post and fill cement within two inches of the top of the hole.
