Why buy from USAVinyl?
USAVinyl's Fence and Outdoor products company was started in 1992 -our experience is the key for a successful and happy transaction! We are a family owned company and have family values. All of our vinyl fencing, vinyl railing, vinyl pergolas and vinyl gazebos - come from our facility - we are not a middle man like most of our competition - when you purchase from us - it comes from us. You can get the best price when you purchase direct. USAVinyl inventories and fabricates our entire vinyl fencing, railing, pergolas and gazebos. This is important because we can control our high quality standards, not try and rely on a third party.
A rule of thumb is to never buy vinyl fencing made by other countries or come on a "container". It is known that other countries extrude vinyl using lead - which is harmful to humans and cheaper to make. Also, you cannot control quality, the fence or outdoor structure may look the same, but it is whats inside that counts, it is easy to "cheapen the product" but using lower grade materials.
Also - you do not want a warranty from a foreign country because how do you collect if you have an issue? Some companies are selling foreign products that are new and unproven to our elements, you do not want to be the tester. At USAVinyl - we only sell the highest quality American made products. Always ask the country of origin not where they are being shipped from. Some companies say they are "American Products", but they are only assembled in America, which we feel is misleading.
Only buy materials from the USA!
For further assurances we have a price guarantee that guarantees our pricing is the lowest on the Internet!
USAVinyl is a member of the Better Business Bureau www.bbb.org, why is that important?
Simple, USAVinyl adheres to the standards of the Better Business Bureau and we have an A+ Rating. We will stand behind all of our products and you can buy with confidence that we have a proven track-record of satisfied customers. You never want buy from a company that is not a member of the Better Business Bureau!
Why purchase from USAVinyl instead of my local "big box" home improvement stores?
Usually, your local home and garden big box store carries only the lowest grade vinyl on the market that can result in multiple failures and unhappy customers. From our experience, the largest problem are styles that change from year to year. For example, if you installed a fence from a big box store and a year later a tree fell on a section, you are not guaranteed that the store will even carry the same style. Unfortunately, we get phone calls all of the time with people trying to "match up" a big box fence, which is impossible. The customer is then left with a fence that cannot be repaired with the same style. At USAVinyl, we carry all needed parts for all of our fences and they can be repaired if needed!
Why is USAVinyl's vinyl fencing the best in the business?
We manufacture all of our vinyl fencing, vinyl railing, vinyl pergolas and vinyl gazebos using an exclusive engineered tested process to make them the strongest and most durable products on the market. USAVinyl only uses top quality 100% Virgin materials in our extrusions. USAVinyl's vinyl fencing is typically a minimum of 20% stronger in impact resistance then that of our next closest competitor! (Tensile Strength of 6600 PSI and an Impact resistance of 22.5 Ft. lbs/in). The thickness of vinyl profiles separates quality vinyl products from poor grade vinyl products. Compare our vinyl profiles with any other company (posts .150" thick!) to see why our quality and price is the best on the Internet! Also, all of our vinyl privacy fence 6' and below can be installed to withstand 130MPH wind gusts. And our vinyl pergolas and vinyl gazebos can be installed to withstand 140MPH wind loads and 4' of snow loads. We have the engineer stamped documents to prove it!
Typically, your local home and garden superstore carries only the lowest grade vinyl on the market. That is why no professional fence company will install anything from your local home and garden superstore!
USAVinyl's vinyl fence is properly engineered so that all pieces lock together into pre-routed slots for strength and durability.
Why do some companies sell 5" x 5" - .135" thick posts and USAVinyl sells 5" x 5" .150" thick posts with concrete holes routed 12" from the bottom of the post?
.135" thick posts are cheaper because they use less vinyl and they are not as strong - period. USAVinyl does not handle .135" thick posts because they are inferior and could cause problems for you in the future. Never buy .135" thick posts they are cheaper for a reason.... The thinner wall thickness of the discount fencing is more likely to sustain a crack or break upon normal impact.
Concrete does not "adhere" to vinyl - USAVinyl custom routes a hole 12" from the bottom so the concrete can go into the post for extra strength for our vinyl fencing
Thickness of vinyl profiles does matter! (Vinyl extrusions have normal tolerances of + or - 10%)
USAVinyl uses co-extrusion technology - why is co-extrusion superior to mono extrusions?
Co-Extrusion technology is the more advanced technology; our product is made in two layers. USAVinyl only uses top quality 100% virgin materials in our extrusions. The outer layer contains a more concentrated amount of UV protection – 10-12 parts per 100 of TI02/Titanium Dioxide. The inner layer utilizes TRUFORCE - impact modifiers which are the toughest acrylic modifiers in the industry. This is a key reason USAVinyl consistently outperforms the competition in impact testing.
Mono-Extrusion is an old technology – the problem with mono extrusion is typically strength – you cannot utilize the same impact modifiers because those impact modifiers are different colors – so it is very difficult to have the same tensile strength as co-extrusion. If another company says they are mono-extuded, most likely, it is extruded in China.
At USAVinyl we only use the newest technologies to assure you have the strongest materials on the market.
Will USAVinyl's vinyl fence yellow over time?
No. USAVinyl's vinyl products contain titanium dioxide from DuPont (tiPURE) – The best U.V. protection available (TIO˛) and other chemical additives which prevent ultraviolet degradation.
What makes USAVinyl the best in the industry?
Our vinyl profiles use patented technology such as:
TRUFORCE - impact modifiers which are the toughest acrylic modifiers in the industry. This is a key reason USAVinyl consistently outperforms the competition in impact testing.
RESISTEX - a stabilizer to keep USAVinyl's fencing from looking chalky or grayed out over the years.
tiPURE - by Dupont - the best U.V. protection available.
HumiGard - a proprietary resin that makes USAVinyl's extrusions impenetrable to rain and humidity. The result? A fence that will never rot!
How long will USAVinyl's vinyl fencing, vinyl railing, vinyl pergolas and vinyl gazebos last?
Our sections are engineered to last a lifetime. All of our fencing carries our Lifetime Residential Non-Prorated Warranty!
Can I install the vinyl fence, vinyl railing, vinyl pergola or vinyl gazebo myself?
If you can use a level, a tape measure, a post hole digger and a string line- and are willing to take the time to do the job right- you can do the job yourself. USAVinyl supplies written instructions and has toll phone support! USAVinyl also has video installation instructions - CLICK HERE for vinyl fencing installation instructions.
Is Chinese vinyl fencing really cheaper and the same quality as vinyl fencing Made in the USA?
Another company who markets "Designed in the USA, Made in China" states that they had to manufacturer in China because it is too expensive to manufacture in the USA! Well, from our experience, it is not true.
Chinese Vinyl Fence extruders/companies have for years tried to break into the US market, but they have 2 major issues: Quality and Price! The quality has been poor in the last 10 years and from our experience, the pricing is not cheaper, remember PVC is a commodity and it is an extruded product. An extruded product is not labor intensive, so the cheap labor savings (as well as Americans losing their jobs) is not realized. Don’t sacrifice quality for a few pennies. Don't believe the hype - if Vinyl Fencing was like a television set or an ipod, all vinyl fencing would be made in China, but we are proud and nobody can beat the Quality and Price of our Vinyl Fencing - Made in the USA! Make sure you only purchase American Made Vinyl Fencing Products.
Speaking of Chinese products - there are some vinyl fencing companies claiming they are digless vinyl fence systems - do they work?
Well - some companies think you can just pound a round metal post in the ground and attach a vinyl post to it and like magic you are done sipping a cold drink enjoying your new lower quality Chinese Fence(yes - they don't advertise the made in China, but by law they have to print on each box the country of origin).
From our experience, if you want a lifetime product and have confidence in the installation, we recommend digging the posts and using concrete around each post. And we can debate if there really is a time savings on the installation, sure nobody wants to dig a hole in the ground, just like nobody wants to pound a metal post in the ground. But, if you are spending the time to install a lifetime product, don't you want to be 100% sure of the integrity of the fence? Be skeptical of someone telling you about a time savings using a digless systems, from our experience, any time savings is minimal if any. Most of these systems use a "screw" connection from the rails into the posts, which is a weaker connection.
Do your homework, but don't believe that the digless method is a faster install and has the same quality install as the normal installation. If the digless system was a quicker install with the same quality, EVERY professional fence company would use this method - period. The professionals know they want to do the job right the first time, and not have a bunch of call backs or customer issues. You cannot cut corners for quality, and be proud that you are purchasing an American Made Product!
Is vinyl fencing, vinyl railing, vinyl pergolas or vinyl gazebos more expensive then wood?

Vinyl is the most economical way to go, confidently saving you money year after year backed by their lifetime transferable warranty!
