Building a fence wall requires many considerations. Most customers look for a fence that is decorative and will install quickly. People want a wall that will last a long time, is structurally sound and causes as little disruption as possible in the construction process. Safety is also an important factor in the installation of the product. With so many different options available today, a quick comparison between the most popular products on the market would be beneficial.

Wood and Vinyl Fence
These fences are the fastest to install, yet can be costly to maintain over time. A wood fence will fade, rot and deteriorate. Vinyl fencing looks clean and fairly attractive when new but can often become chalky, warp, splinter, sag and break over time.

Stone, Block, and Brick Walls
These fence walls are labor intensive to build requiring each piece to be individually installed on a continuous footing. Shifting and settling of the ground can cause unsightly cracks and fissures along the mortar lines, which can eventually weaken the wall and even cause its failure.

Conventional Concrete Fence Systems
These wall systems are supplied in separate columns and panels and there are two types of systems presently available.

• A smaller profile stackable system uses a 5 inch square concrete post which is installed every 5 feet. on center. A 1 foot high by 5 feet long concrete panel is then inserted into preformed slots in the concrete posts and stacks upon one another to build the wall. The concrete panel is approximately 1 ¾ inches thick.
  
  
• Traditional large concrete fence systems, use an 18 inch to 20 inch square column typically set every 12 feet on center. Once the columns are installed in place, a concrete panel is then placed between the columns and inserts into slots formed in the columns. The columns are secured to the footing using a grouted cell connection. Each column has a hollow center which is placed over rebar extending from the footing. The column is then filled with concrete completing this labor intensive installation.
