While vinyl fencing is now considered a superior product to its wood counterpart, it is only as good as its installation. If you are installing it yourself, adhere strictly to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Having it professionally installed is the best way to be sure the job is done right and the warranty is not voided.
The areas on an automatic gate that are under the most stress use are the hinges. Most automatic gates have zerk fitting grease joints which allows for easy and convenient administration of lubrication into the components of the hinges.
The process of making chain-link fence was first developed by British industrialist Charles Barnard in 1844. Barnard based his process on the cloth weaving machines ubiquitous in the Norwich textile industry. The American company Anchor Fence later bought the rights to the process.
