Fence sales could build a continuousfence from Bangor, Maine to San Diego, California..... and back again..... and still have enough to go South to Miami, Florida. The company was founded in 1977 as Action Sales & Marketing and began doing business as US.Fence about 5 years later. In the early years, pre built woodfence panels made in the Canadian Province of Quebec dominated the business. This product line began with 60 frockloads made and shipped in 1977 to over 100 times that amount this past year. As the 1980's progressed, the company developed a pressure treated deck railing category under the "Creat-A -Rail" brand name. This product line greatly expands the styles of railings available to the consumer including a variety of fancy spindles. It also incorporates a patented center rail template that makes installation very easy and makes the finished job very strong. Create-A -Rail is the Dilly pre designed deck rail system that is approved by BOCA and the SEe for both strength and haluster .\pacing.

This demand reflects the "time starved" nature of today's society along with suffi(:ient disposable income for home remodeling. US. Fence developed a very broad selection of maintenance free vinyl fencing and deck railings that never needs painting or staining. The company also developed a new maintenance free deck surface known as Fiberon. Fiberon is a wood composite that does not warp, split, twist, or crack the way typical wood decking does over time. It requires no maintenance yet cuts, nails, and can be screwed just like wood. ' US.

Will vinyl fencing deteriorate like wood or metal.? o P.V.c. vinyl is formulated to meet Federal Government ASTM Standards, just like vinyl siding and vinyl window extrusions and will not yellow, rust, rot or decay, we guarantee it! Our Limited Lifetime guarantee is one of the best in the business. 2. Will I ever have to paint my white fence to keep it looking good'? o No, special U.V. (ultra violet inhibitors) in the vinyl keep it white. There is no maintenance. 3. Is our vinyl fencing available in other colors? o Right now the color is white only. 80% of the house trim paint sold today is white. 4. Can I paint my new vinyl fence? . o Your new white vinyl fence is a maintenance free product. Vinyl is a non-porous material and paint will not stick to its surface. Therefore, if someone vandalizes your fence by spray paint, in most cases a product like "goof off' will remove the paint. 5. My pre-built fence is fused together using a specially developed adhesive, can I replace a picket if necessary if one comes off? o Yes, replacement pickets, tops and adhesive is available, either, directly from the manufacturer or through your retailer. To replace a picket: Remove broken picket or board. Clean backer rail of old glue and dirt. Glue backer rail where new picket is placed. Clamp picket for a minimum of I hour. Then let it dry 24 hours for maximum adhesion. 6. Arc pre-built vinyl fence sections available in other styles not shown? o The pre-built vinyl fence styles shown represent the most popular styles requested by customers and retailers to date and are the only size and styles available. 7. Do I install these pre-built vinyl fence sections and posts any different than wood? o Laying out your fence job and installation of the posts is done much like a wood fence installation (see instructions}. The advantage of vinyl vs. wood is that vinyl is much lighter weight and easier to install with less help. Check your on center post spacing before you dig holes and install you posts. Vinyl fence sections install between the posts. 8. How can I contact U.S. Fence if I have additional questions or comments? o You may send your c-mail to clIstolllcrscrvice@lIsfcncconlinccorn or you can call us toll frec at 1-800-336-2383. htlp://www.L1slencconlinc.com/F.
