\"Iron<\/a>
Iron Fence that Replaced Cheap Vinyl Fence<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

We had a customer that bought our iron fence to use around a historic cemetery.\u00a0 It was replacing a cheaper vinyl fence that not only looked out of place, but did not perform well.<\/p>\n

While a cheaper vinyl fence helped fit the bill when they purchased it, the look wasn’t quite right for a 100+ year old cemetery and you can see several of the panels have damaged or missing pickets.\u00a0 The problem with using a light-duty fence like vinyl in a cemetery application is two-fold.<\/p>\n

The first is the look of the fence.\u00a0 From a distance, the fence doesn’t look too bad.\u00a0 However, once you get closer it looks out of place having a vinyl\/ plastic fence surrounding a historic cemetery.\u00a0 Vinyl\u00a0fence has only been around for 15-20 years, so it looks out of place surrounding a cemetery that is over 100 years old.<\/p>\n

The second issue is just general durability.\u00a0 Iron fence is perfect for cemetery applications because its so strong and durable.\u00a0 Cemeteries have heavy equipment and vehicles moving around them all the time.\u00a0 A light-duty fence is going to be easily damaged by equipment or errant door swings from mourners and family.\u00a0 There is also the issue of unattended kids or people in the cemetery.\u00a0 Those missing pickets in the panel at the beginning of that opening is likely the result of a situation like that.<\/p>\n
