Why Fabricate Vinyl Fence?
In the age of packaged everything, we tend to crave the convenience of picking up just what we need to get the job done. Whether it's the burger deal at the drive through for lunch, or an Ikea entertainment center, it is just easier to let someone else “cook up” what we need. But is this the best way to maximize profit in your fence business?
There are fabricators and even extruders out there who market complete “kits” for fences. As an installer, you tell them how many line posts, end posts, top rails, bottom rails, pickets and channels you need, and at what dimensions, and they, in their own good time, whip up what you need, and either deliver it, (for a fee), or you pick it up, (on company time).
For those who seldom do PVC fence installation, this may be the most economical solution. Why invest in a truckload of extrusions and expensive routing machines for the 500 to 1000 feet of PVC fence you typically do in a season?
What if I told you that you don't have to buy vinyl by the truckload? What if I told you that you can get all the routing equipment you need to run a successful fabricating operation for a few thousand dollars, not tens of thousands?
Think of the advantages. No more waiting for the fabricator to get around to your job. No more paying someone else to do work you can do cheaper. No more waiting for a replacement post because the new guy backed over one in the yard. You can be master of your own fate, and set your own pricing on styles of fence that you create. You can offer something your competitor can't.

What do you think is the most economical choice for fences? I don't think I've heard of PVC fences before. How different are they from the more common vinyl fences? Is one of them more durable than the other?
ReplyDeleteVin, Whether you call it PVC fence or Vinyl fence, it is the same material. Regional variations in terminology occur, with people on the West Coast definitely preferring the name "Vinyl" over "PVC". In other areas of the country they are reversed, and in still others, there is no preference, and the two are used interchangeably.
ReplyDeleteAs for what is the most economical fence, the answer is not as straightforward as you might think, if all you take into account is the material it is made of. The purpose and expected lifespan of the fence as well as aesthetics will all play a part in the balance against cost to install and continued cost of ownership due to maintenance and repair.
When I am asked, I always try to point out that the most economical fence to put up is the best quality fence you can afford. Performance over the long haul will pay back the additional cost of better materials. The cost of installation of a given style or type of fence is going to be roughly the same, whether you use top quality American materials or cheaper imported materials. In fact it may cost a little more to put in the cheap stuff, so if the higher initial cost of buying quality fence is causing concern, consider the cost of repairs, early replacement, and dissatisfaction you will get with the cheaper alternative.
