WHAT FENCE PRODUCTS DOES FENCE CENTER OFFER?
Fence Center products are preferred by many fence installers and subcontractors because they are engineered to be extremely durable and very easy to install. With over 30 years of experience in this industry, we’ve worked with a lot of fencing materials and our products are hands down the best aluminum fencing available on the market. These low maintenance systems are built to last a lifetime and can be installed by just about anybody.
WILL A QUALITY FENCE SYSTEM PROVIDED BY FENCE CENTER COST MORE?
NO! Fence Center support US manufacturing and all our aluminum fencing systems are proudly assembled in the USA. We enable homeowners to save significantly on installation by DIY or hiring a separate installer.
CAN I REALLY INSTALL A FENCE CENTER SYSTEM MYSELF?
Absolutely, but be realistic. It is all about the digging. Digging conditions vary and could make or break the experience. Some styles require very small holes, yet others need to be larger. The assembly process is not complicated and in most cases very logical.
WHAT SHOULD I ASK BEFORE I INVEST IN A FENCE?
What is the warranty? Who is, and how long has the manufacturer been in business? What is their track record? Is it made in the USA?
WHAT ARE FENCE CENTER VINYL FENCING SYSTEMS MADE OF?
Our vinyl fences are made from co-extruded poly vinyl chloride (PVC).
DO YOU HAVE TO PUT ALL THE POSTS IN CONCRETE?
Yes, however, in some cases it is the contractor’s choice in regard to the specific conditions of the job.
DO FENCE CENTER PRODUCTS HAVE A TRANSFERABLE WARRANTY?
Yes, please visit our warranty page to download a copy and register your product online. Keep in mind that warranties are only as good as the company. Fence Center is backed by a stable long term manufacturing organization with an excellent customer service track record.
CAN I CLEAN MY FENCE CENTER FENCE?
Yes, with soap and water. It is recommended that you wash white fences at least every 24 months for maximum beauty. A strong hose or power washer make the job real easy when removing mildew and dirt.
MY PROPERTY ISN’T FLAT. WILL YOUR FENCING LEAVE BIG GAPS UNDER EACH PANEL?
No, all Fence Center systems are designed to follow the grade of your yard.
CAN I PUT A GATE OPERATOR ON MY FENCE CENTER FENCE?
Yes, all styles can support a remote gate operator with slight modification in some cases.
HOW MUCH WILL A FENCE CENTER FENCE INCREASE MY PROPERTY WORTH?
Like most outdoor improvements, a fence doesn't add value to the home, however, it will add to the curb appeal and ultimately the salability. On the other hand, a lower quality, weathered, or poorly installed fence may detract from the value of the home.
WILL YOUR FENCING MEET LOCAL POOL CODES?
Most of our “Pool” styles will meet local codes; however, there are some exceptions. Please be sure to check with your local township with regard to their specific codes.
CAN I INSTALL FENCE CENTER SYSTEMS ON DECKS AND PATIOS OR ATTACH TO COLUMNS?
Yes, however, there are additional parts and procedures. We suggest you consult with a Fence Center fencing support specialist for assistance.
WILL FENCE CENTER SYSTEMS FOLLOW A CURVE?
Yes, all styles will curve or rack to some extent by "aiming" the panel towards the intended direction. You will need to be the judge of how far it will stretch without compromising the look.
WILL FENCE CENTER INSTALL THE JOB FOR ME?
Yes, we will contact a local Pro Partner in your area and schedule the job with a vetted installer on your behalf.
WHAT ARE SOME OTHER COST-EFFECTIVE INSTALLATION OPTIONS?
Installing your own fence can save up to 40% of the total project cost but if that doesn’t appeal to you, then there are other options. If you don’t want to contract the entire project to a pro installer, then you can always opt to purchase all your materials through Fence Center then hire a local handyman and subcontract the job out to your landscaper or a friend.
WHAT RESOURCES DO YOU OFFER TO HELP ME WITH MY PROJECT?
Fence Center is all about education. Our friendly fencing support specialists are standing by and ready to assist you in getting started or troubleshoot any issues that might come up during your installation. We’ve developed a very hand library of “How To” videos that talk you through each step of the process and have provided other download materials that will help you plan your project in our Explore Fencing link above.
