The Science Behind Big Sun Fencing: Durability and Weather Resistance

Here at Big Sun Fencing, we pride ourselves on offering top-quality fencing that can stand the test of time. We can claim that our fences are weather-resistant and built to last a lifetime, but we’d rather prove it to you! Our commitment to durability and weather resistance is backed by science, ensuring that your property remains protected and visually appealing for years to come. In this article, we’ll delve into the science behind the durability and weather resistance of our two primary fencing materials: vinyl and aluminum.

Vinyl

Vinyl fencing is engineered to withstand the harshest environmental conditions without compromising on strength. The science behind vinyl’s durability lies in its composition. Made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, vinyl fences exhibit remarkable resistance to rot, corrosion, and insect damage. This makes them an ideal choice for areas with high humidity, moisture, or salt exposure—the PVC resin allows it to withstand all that and more for decades.

The weather resistance of vinyl fencing, on the other hand, is attributed to its inherent properties and innovative manufacturing techniques. During production, vinyl materials are treated with UV inhibitors, which shield the fence from the sun’s harmful rays. Additionally, the molecular structure of vinyl allows it to expand and contract with temperature fluctuations, minimizing the risk of warping, cracking, or fading over time.

Aluminum

Aluminum fencing is known for its exceptional strength and longevity. The science behind aluminum’s durability lies in its alloy composition. By combining aluminum with other metals such as magnesium and manganese, our fencing materials achieve superior structural integrity while remaining lightweight and corrosion-resistant. This ensures that your fence maintains its strength and stability even in challenging environments.

Aluminum’s natural oxide layer provides inherent weather resistance, making it highly resistant to rust, corrosion, and deterioration. Additionally, our aluminum fences undergo advanced powder coating processes, further enhancing their weather resistance. This durable finish creates a protective barrier that shields the fence from moisture, UV exposure, and other environmental elements, leading to long-lasting beauty and performance.

No matter which material you choose, Big Sun Fencing offers fencing that is engineered to withstand the elements and stand the test of time. We are committed to providing quality craftsmanship, innovative materials, and rigorous testing to ensure that your investment in a Big Sun fence is one that will endure for generations.
