Plastic Post & Rail Fencing
a beautiful alternative to split rail vinyl fencing
|
 |
| A farm in rural Pennsylvania with recycled plastic fencing |
|
| Benefits:
No more staining, painting, or rotting posts and rails. This unique & environmentally friendly product will maintain its beauty year after year. No need to replace fence rails or posts after only a few years of service.
Unlike pressure treated wood, there are no hazardous chemicals to leach out.
Our fencing is made by a high-tech process designed to make the posts and rails look like they were cut from actual redwood trees. Fence stock is cut and shaped to make uniformly fitting posts and rails. Standard woodworking tools can be used to easily cut, staple or screw into the fence. Insulators are not required for electric fence installation. Posts are virtually solid plastic and do not need timber or metal inserts.

The posts and rail fence and the vineyard poles are specifically designed and manufactured to give the appearance of being made from real trees. That is why these products have a nominally round shape. The diameters are specifically made to vary along the length of the product, and are made to be irregular. Stated diameters of these products are the target ranges used in the manufacturing process. Actual diameters will vary within and around these ranges.
Fencing may exhibit slight bending. This will not affect performance and is strictly cosmetic.

Easy Installation!
Our plastic wood fence is easy to install:
1) Lay out hole locations eight feet apart.
2) Dig holes at least three feet deep.
3) Insert the first post in a hole, fill the hole with dirt, and tamp down the soil. Make sure that the pole is vertical and plumb and the fence holes are aligned on the fence line.
4) Set the next post in the adjacent hole.
5) As with construction lumber, some rails will have a crown. Install the rails with the crown up.
6) Insert the lower rail into the lower of the holes of the two posts. Next, insert the top rail into the top holes of the posts. Make sure the rails extend through the posts about two inches.
7) Plumb the post, fill and tamp the hole.
8) Repeat to create your fence line.

He spent sixteen years with Mobil Chemnical Company in the plastic division where he worked mostly on the extrusion of blown film. The past 15 years he has spent starting up and operating his own plastics company, which makes post and rail type fencing. Pat has two patents for plastic products. His association with Northampton Community College began 12 years ago when he taught his first course in "Polymer Processing". Since that time he has also taught "Introduction to Plastics" as well as several levels of mathematics. Mr. Kelley is the past President of the local chapter of the Society of Plastic Engineers. |
