Project Spotlight: Acadia Riverwoods 10′ Tall Fence

Riverwoods Behavioral Health System Building

The RiverWoods Behavioral Health System in Riverside, Georgia recently purchased a Trex fence to provide security and privacy for its clients. The fence includes gates to access service areas on the property. A local contractor installed the fence on behalf of the treatment center.

 

Trex fencing was selected because it meets the high wind load requirements of Miami-Dade County, a national benchmark for wind loads.  The Trex Seclusions system is also fully private. Because of its unique interlocking picket system, the fence is completely opaque — there is no visibility through the fence. At 10 ft. in height, the fence is not scalable, providing a unique level of security typically unavailable from other fence systems. The contractor installed approximately 200 ft. of fencing plus four gates.

Project Spotlight: City of Fargo, North Dakota

Fence Project by Dakota Fence in FargoDakota Fence installed 757 feet of an 8′ tall Saddle color Trex fence for the City of Fargo, North Dakota. It was installed on 25th Street on the north side just off I-94, Exit 350. The fence was installed for privacy and sound dampening for condominiums on the west side of the road.

 

Dakota Fence’s representatives met with the city engineer to develop the specification for the fence. This is a good example of how a contractor working with a municipality can configure a Trex fence to meet specific needs. In addition to privacy and sound control, the city was looking for strength, durability and an aesthetically appealing product. Trex fit the bill.  For more information on this project, contact Dakota Fence at (701) 237-6181. If you are a city engineer or work for any type of government entity and are looking for information on Trex, feel free to contact us or visit our Technical Center.

Project featured in World Fence News

Atlas Fence Crew, East Syracuse, New YorkThe October cover story for the World Fence News highlighted an installation project for a school in East Syracuse, NY. Trex fencing was included as part of a $21 million capital improvement project for the Waterloo School District.

 

Chris Polimino, president of Atlas Fence (the contractor that installed the project), stated in the World Fence News article that the existing stockade style wood fence had deteriorated significantly in spite of being less than eight years old. Now, the striking appearance of the Trex fence has pleased all involved including the school district, the neighbors, the general contractor, and Atlas Fence.

Project Spotlight: Grand Junction VA Medical Center

Scope of Project: The Grand Junction VA Medical Center purchased Trex Fencing to enclose a utility area on the hospital property. The fence was installed by Taylor Fence Company.

 

The Grand Junction VA Medical Center Property

Grand Junction VA Medical Center

For this project, the VA Medical Center requested a fence of 10′ in height to ensure the equipment was secured and completely hidden from sight. In this case, Taylor Fence used an aluminum bottom rail as a mid-rail and extra bottom rail covers to create a second stack of pickets giving the fence not just the extra height, but greater strength as well.  The VA Medical Center also purchased a double gate to allow easy access to the utility area.

 

The usage of Trex fencing materials for utility enclosures for commercial or government applications is not uncommon. It is also used frequently for dumpster enclosures. The durability and strength of the product sets it apart from vinyl but also ensures low-maintenance in comparison to wood. It also can be built up to 12′ in height, which is rare for most fencing materials. The look of the fence is just as important. Trex offers a softer, more attractive alternative to either masonry or chain link (which were initially considered by the VA).
