How to set a flag pole...with no concrete!

  Modern Fence Technologies is marketing a handy system that allows same day secure installation of posts and poles by simply driving pipes into the ground.  View the video of an installation of a flag pole here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3jBn6zPc6I&feature=plcp.  The actual installation took about one hour from first shovel to flag raising.

Thank You!!!!!




NAFCA owes a debt of gratitude to TAPCO and especially Tom Wright for all the hard work that went into the first annual Gate Operator Installation School September 13-15 at the TAPCO facilities in Brown Deer, Wisconsin. Tom was instrumental to the success of this event, organizing registration as well as logistics in putting together everything from the practice gates, which were donated and installed by Ray Statz of Qual Line Fence, with the help of Mike Statz, of Statz Brothers Fence, to the use of TAPCO's first rate facility, and even lunches. Thank you to these and all the vendors and contractors that worked together to make this event possible!
For a first-ever event, it was remarkably successful, with excellent reviews from participants, which included ideas on how to make the next Operator School even better! Participation ran over 30% ahead of anticipated numbers. If operators are a part of your business, or you want to find out if they should be, there is no better value that NAFCA's Gate Operator Installation School.

New...Again, from Modern Fence Technologies


It's a fast paced world, and business is no different. Any small business that has survived the last five years has done it by adapting to the changing business environment. Modern Fence Technologies is in a constant process of reinventing itself to meet the needs of an ever changing market. In the past year we have worked to improve cantilevered gate systems, introduced an entirely new line of chain link and round to square hinges, begun analyzing the hard science behind how hinges support a load, and mounted a concerted effort to build markets in all areas of business. All of this has occurred as a consequence of serving our customers and listening to their needs.
In order to meet the demand of several customers, and to re-build a shrinking market, Modern Fence Technologies is reentering the vinyl router table market. Over the last several years trade organizations have made it increasingly difficult to remain a member in good standing, while serving our customers. Rather than leave our customers at the mercy of a few large fabricating companies, we are offering several styles of hand routing machines ideal for small to medium volume operators who want to keep the work in-house.
This allows you to control the quality and the timing of every job. Why wait for and pay for shipping when you can keep your skilled employees at productive jobs making posts, panels and gates during slow periods? Most importantly for the small businessman, you aren't paying someone else to do work you can do more efficiently. If you haven't seen what Modern Fence Technologies can do for you this month, look again.
