Let's Talk Fence

White Vinyl Picket

This is a 4′ high Polyvinyl Sterling Picket Fence provided by Digger Specialties. With all of Digger Specialties Polyvinyl Fencing products you get a few things that you won’t find anywhere else. First, we have a hidden picket attachment. This allows the fence sections to rack to the grade and more closely resemble wood fencing, having the pickets on the outside of the rails. Plus, the clean looking finish of the fasteners hiding between the picket and the rail. Another great feature of Digger’s products is the ability to order the sections by the foot. This keeps all of the section sizes close enough to one another in length that visually your eye cannot pick up any differences, without having to handle (cut) and waste the materials. Sort of an underrated benefit of Digger Specialties is the product packaging and delivery. These fences come to Farm N Garden fully crated and shipped on a company truck. It may not sound like a feature but when everyone involved in handling these products cares, it will make a noticeable difference in the final project.
The finer points on this project are the gates and the post caps. These gates have an attractive arch top to them, including the double gates continuous convex construction. The post caps here are different on the end, gate and corner posts where we used the Trim Cap design. All of the line posts received the Flat Cap. What few will notice is the posts that have the Trim Caps are set up higher than the posts that have the Flat Caps. A touch I added to keep the Flat Caps flush with the pickets and making the Trim Caps stick up and stand out. I really like the minor touches that set this picket fence apart and what’s better is the customer’s comment card says “simply awesome”.

Vinyl Lattice Top Privacy

This is phase 2 of a backyard enclosure using Polyvinyl Majestic style privacy fence. A couple of things that really stand out about this product are the interlocking vertical pickets and the layered vinyl lattice assembly. Having these privacy slats locking together provides the ultimate in rigid vinyl fencing panel construction. Also, the lattice being built of individual vinyl slats glued together make a stronger panel than the typical, flimsy, molded lattice found on most vinyl products. Not only is it substantially stronger but it also has a texture created by the raised slats, like wood lattice does.
