[column-half-2]When a job calls for posts and columns for support, you have more to choose from than you might realize. Depending on the project’s needs, you can select posts according to their load ratings and the styles of their attachments.

Either vinyl or aluminum posts could make a good choice for your projects.[/column-half-2]

Here’s some additional info about each:

[column-half-1]Structural vinyl posts are hollow vinyl shells with aluminum pipe inside to

• provide strength. These posts require very little maintenance and stay looking good
  for years. To meet a project’s style requirements, you can choose from a variety of
  vinyl column wraps to create the look your customer wants.
• Aluminum posts are a lightweight option that come in various styles, including
  square (3.25” or 4”) or round (6’’). Typically a lower-cost alternative to other types
  of posts, aluminum posts can help you provide stability while staying within budget.

[column-half-2]They come in two forms:

• Hollow—Aluminum posts provide exceptional strength on their own.
  Generally, they’re adequate for residential and light commercial use.
• Structural—Aluminum posts that have an aluminum pipe inside to
  provide strength above and beyond that of a hollow aluminum post are
  an effective solution when a job calls for superior strength.

[column-third-1-2] With lives that are busier than ever, more homeowners are looking to make their backyards a place where they can relax after long days at work, enjoy catching up with their families, and entertain friends—without interruption and in privacy. According to Amos Kauffman, Marketing Director at Superior Plastic Products, privacy fencing offers a way to make that happen.

A vinyl privacy fence can help homeowners by:

• Making it easier for them to contain what they want in their backyards and keep out what they don’t want.
• Enclosing areas customers don’t want people to see (such as spaces where they keep trash receptacles, recycle bins, etc.).
• Enclosing a pool.
• Providing a private space that minimizes outside distractions and interruptions.
• Blocking an unpleasant view (like a neighbor’s uncared-for lawn) from
  sight.

But not all privacy fencing is created equal. “There’s a big difference in the level of quality out there,” explains Kauffman. “It’s important to look for privacy fencing that comes with a reinforced bottom rail to prevent sagging.”

You can expect that your customers may need you to guide them in choosing the type of privacy fencing that will serve them best. When deciding on the best option, not only will quality be top of mind, but other considerations like style, function, and amount of maintenance required will also need to be a part of the conversation.

With an array of fencing choices available to your customers, you need to be knowledgeable about each option. Giving customers the best, not the cheapest, fencing solution is the way to provide the most value—and to ensure customers are happy for the long term.

Vinyl fencing, in particular, offers numerous advantages over other types of fencing for both residential and commercial property owners.

Why Install Vinyl Fencing

1. It’s built to last—Strong and durable, it stands up to the elements.
2. It’s low maintenance—Vinyl fencing requires very little attention. An occasional cleaning with a mild detergent, using a soft brush and hose or a light pressure washer, is all that’s needed to keep it looking great.
3. It has a clean, sleek profile—It’s an attractive option that enhances the landscape with its subtle appearance. Available in multiple colors (Superior Plastic Products offers five), it blends well with its surroundings.
4. It won’t rust or rot—That’s right. Customers won’t need to worry about their fence deteriorating under exposure to wind and weather.
5. No painting needed—This is a huge plus. Because vinyl fencing won’t peel or chip, it requires no painting—ever!
6. Environmentally friendly—Vinyl fencing is made of recyclable material. If a customer removes a fence, it can be repurposed and re-used rather than ending up in a landfill.

The Superior Plastic Products’ vinyl fence systems that we offer are also easy to install. That’s a plus for you, because it saves you time and money.

If you want to learn more about its advantages and the many variations available in picket, yard, privacy, and post and rail styles, call us for more information.

A job well done isn’t the only thing customers consider before recommending contractors to their friends, family, and neighbors.

Here are some quick tips for adding value and gaining customer confidence:

• Sweep up—Clean up after yourself, so you’re not leaving unsightly debris on your customer’s property.
• Stay off the lawn—Do your best to minimize where you tread on your customer’s landscape while you’re working on a project.
• Wear booties—If a job takes you indoors, protect your customer’s flooring and carpet from dirt and mud by wearing shoe covers before entering the house.

Pay attention to the little “extras” and you’ll better your chances of standing out from your competition.
