FenceTrac with LuxeCore aluminum-core composite infill is one of the few residential and commercial fence systems to pass third-party impact testing. In lab testing at QAI Laboratories in Miami, the system absorbed three direct hits from a 9.25 lb 2x4 lumber missile...
FenceTrac's galvanized steel frame with aluminum or LuxeCore composite infill is engineered for the combination of salt air, sustained humidity, high winds, and intense UV that define coastal environments. The system has been tested to a 55.0 psf design wind load...
FenceTrac's LuxeCore composite infill uses an ASA (acrylic-styrene-acrylonitrile) exterior layer that is specifically engineered to resist UV degradation, making it one of the most fade-resistant fence materials available. Understanding how UV affects different fence...
FenceTrac powder-coats every steel and aluminum component in the fence system, including the frame rails, posts, post caps, and aluminum infill boards and gate kits. Powder coating creates a durable, bonded finish that blocks moisture and oxygen from contacting the...
FenceTrac's LuxeCore aluminum-core composite fence boards are built around a structural aluminum core encased in cellular PVC and ASA resin, with zero wood content. Wood fiber composite (WPC) boards blend wood flour or fiber with thermoplastic polymer, typically...
FenceTrac's galvanized, powder-coated steel fence posts are engineered to maintain their full rated bending strength for the life of the fence, while a standard 4x4 treated Southern Yellow Pine post begins losing structural capacity from the day it goes in the ground....
The direct answer is that most traditional wood fences do not have a wind rating. They are built to local convention rather than a tested structural standard, and their ability to handle high wind depends on a set of variables that are rarely engineered in advance....
A galvanized steel frame privacy fence will outlast a wood privacy fence by a significant margin. The difference is not small. It is typically two to three times the functional lifespan, with far less maintenance required along the way. The question most property...
FenceTrac's galvanized steel frame system is engineered to resist the most common causes of fence failure in high winds, including post rotation, fastener pullout, infill separation, and ground-line rot. The system was tested to 55.0 psf design wind load and 82.5 psf...
FenceTrac offers Western Red Cedar as an infill option within its galvanized steel frame system, giving buyers the natural wood look with a structural frame that outlasts the wood itself. A standalone wood fence built with wood posts and rails typically lasts 10 to 20...
FenceTrac's LuxeCore composite infill is engineered to last decades. The three-layer construction (aluminum structural core, cellular PVC, and ASA exterior) resists the failure modes that shorten the life of wood and vinyl fences: UV degradation, moisture absorption,...
FenceTrac's aluminum infill and LuxeCore composite infill are both engineered to withstand rain, humidity, UV exposure, salt air, freeze-thaw cycles, and high winds without degradation. When paired with the FenceTrac galvanized steel frame, which carries a 20-year...
FenceTrac's galvanized steel frame and maintenance-free infill options are specifically engineered to resist the two most common causes of fence failure: warping and rot. The system eliminates wood from the structural components entirely, replacing wood posts and...
FenceTrac was the original patented U-channel steel frame fence system, built around a 3-inch deep galvanized G90 steel top and bottom channel and a 2-inch deep side channel that accepts infill boards up to 1 inch thick. Since FenceTrac established the channel-frame...
FenceTrac builds its frame system from G90 galvanized steel, which carries 0.90 oz of zinc coating per square foot of steel surface. That is the highest standard zinc coating designation for hot-dip galvanized steel used in fencing applications, and it directly...
FenceTrac's galvanized steel frame fence system carries a higher initial price than a standard wood post-and-rail fence, but the total cost of ownership over 10 to 20 years is typically lower because the steel frame eliminates the recurring expenses that make wood...
FenceTrac's UltraBlend PVC fencing is a 1-inch-thick, ASA-encased board designed for the FenceTrac steel frame system. It outperforms standard vinyl fencing on thickness, impact resistance, and UV stability because of its reinforced internal web structure and...
FenceTrac's LuxeCore composite infill is a structural board with an aluminum core, cellular PVC layer, and ASA resin exterior that requires zero maintenance over its 20-year warranty period. Wood fencing, by contrast, needs repainting or restaining every 2 to 3 years...
FenceTrac manufactures modular fence systems using galvanized steel frames and engineered infill boards that require zero painting, staining, or sealing over the life of the fence. The most low-maintenance fence materials available today are composite, PVC, and...
