Are the Old Ways Always the Best Ways?

  It was once settled science that the Black Plague was spread by "bad air".  It was also once "settled science" that the best way to set a post for vinyl fence was to dig a hole and pour concrete.  While that may still be the best way for some applications, there are new methods, recognized by ASTM, that can save both time and money, and result in a longer lasting, better performing fence.



  Driven pipe presents a much smaller profile to frost heave, resulting in a much more stable fence, while offering maximum strength from day one of installation.  Using Modern Fence Technologies Heavy Duty Post Stiffeners can save you time, (install the fence same day as posts), money, (no more digging and paying for concrete), and can offer your customer a better product, setting you apart in an increasingly competitive market.  We can even show you how to hang gates from vinyl posts set on steel pipe!

  We offer everything you need to drive pipe for vinyl fence posts, from compressors and post drivers, to post stiffeners and brackets.  

Call today and ask your MFT service rep about driven pipe installation for vinyl fence!

Why Do Car Seats Have An Expiration Date?



Why does plastic take so long to break down in a landfill?  Because it is protected from the sun's harmful UV rays by a layer of dirt and other trash.  Car seats spend a lot of time in the sun.  The plastic loses impact strength and rigidity over time and exposure to sunlight.

The same goes for plastic gate hardware.  It's temporary.  If it wasn't, you wouldn't see the largest plastic gate hardware manufacturers introducing stainless steel products.

At MFT we have made stainless steel gate hardware from the very beginning.  We experimented with plastics and quickly came to the conclusion that unless your gate is going to spend its entire life indoors, stainless steel was the only way to go.  If you're not offering your customers the very best in stainless steel gate hardware, consider the stronger, longer lasting, and lower cost option of Modern Fence Technologies gate hardware.  Made proudly in the United States of America!

Is Your Motorcycle Helmet Expired?

Did you know that motorcycle helmets typically have an expiration date?  Why is that?  Simple.  Because they are made from materials that degrade every moment they are in the sun.  Ultraviolet light destroys plastic and fiberglass.  So why hang your gate on plastic hinges?



Use American made stainless steel hinges from Modern Fence Technologies to be sure your gate will last!
