Project featured in World Fence News

October 20, 2015Edmund Rose

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.

Before & After Fence Installation in Chino Hills, CA

October 5, 2015Edmund Rose

Trex Fencing constructed in Chino Hills CaliforniaOne of the primary reasons homeowners select Trex fencing is to eliminate the nuisance of upkeep. Here’s an example of a project that shows a wood fence that was beyond the point of repair and what it looks like after Trex was installed.

 

It’s always nice to see BEFORE & AFTER shots. They demonstrate how much of a difference a new Trex fence can make in improving the appearance of a property. This particular Saddle color fence in Chino Hills, California is also a good example of how well Trex handles steep slopes. The brackets accommodate a significant angle and the rails cut just like wood.

Project Spotlight: Grand Junction VA Medical Center

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).

 

If you are investigating options for utility enclosures or dumpster enclosures, our technical details will be helpful. Please contact us for any additional inquiries.

Home Owner Association Fencing

 Home Owner Association Fencing

 

Homeowner Association Fencing

One of the biggest groups of clients for Trex Fencing is Homeowner Associations (HOAs). These buyers often select Trex for the same reasons that homeowners do, but with additional considerations.

 

Fence Damage, Homeowner Association

Wood fences eventually rot, even with regular maintenance.

Many homeowner associations have perimeter fencing to establish the property lines for the community. A perimeter fence is an important element in projecting the image the HOA wants to establish for existing and potential homeowners, at least in terms of aesthetic sensibilities or even security. Selecting the right product will be influenced by such factors as colors, designs, and durability. Other factors such as fence height, maintenance, and weatherability are also important.

 

HOAs that install Trex have cited that replacing existing wood fencing has significantly reduced their maintenance expenditures. One HOA in particular, based out of Dallas, was concerned about holding off an increase in dues for landscaping and property maintenance. By using set-aside funds, the HOA was able to purchase Trex and determined that over the following five years, would be able to take the savings from the dues and avoid increasing in that budgetary line item. They justified the additional up-front expense because they were able to show the residents that the maintenance line item would remain flat for the following five years before increases in other unrelated expenses would kick in.

 

Another HOA in Utah specifically selected Trex Seclusions Woodland Brown because it matched the overall theme of the properties. With dark brown serving as a distinguishing feature of the community, Woodland Brown was the perfect match for its interior fencing.

 

An HOA in Denver selected Saddle for similar reasons. The tan look was the right color choice for their perimeter fencing. The same idea was also true in Oklahoma where Winchester Grey was installed between brick columns giving the community the distinguishing characteristic of an Estate-style perimeter.

 

The following presentation was created to help Homeowner Association customers evaluate Trex as a wood-alternative product for their properties. Please CONTACT US if you have additional questions. If you would like to evaluate technical specifications, visit our technical resource center.
