May I purchase fence
materials to install myself?
-
Easter Fence, Inc. carries
nearly everything you need to install a fence. Easter
typically has wood and galvanized chain-link materials in stock. Those
customers who are interested in other fencing products (such as vinyl, aluminum,
Montage, steel, vinyl coated chain-link, or split rail) may order their materials
to be picked up at our location.
Contact Easter Fence for
more information.
Does Easter Fence sell
custom gates?
-
Yes. Unlike many other fence companies that
must order their chain-link gates and wait weeks for their arrival, Easter Fence
custom welds and wires any walk gate, double drive gate, or cantilever gate on
site to fit your desired opening. Gates can be wired with any type of wire
to match the rest of your existing fence. Barbed wire can be
added to gates for extra security, or privacy slats can be added to make an
attractive privacy system.
What styles of
fencing are available?
Whose responsibility
is it to mark the lines, and what lines will the Missouri One Call service mark?
-
Easter Fence will be happy
to contact the Missouri One Call service to mark the lines in the yard prior to
fence installation. The Missouri One Call System will mark underground public utility
lines such as electric, phone, water, and gas lines. The
Missouri One Call does not mark private lines such as sprinkler systems, invisible
fences, gas grill lines, or other customer-installed underground systems.
Customers should inform the estimator and/or the installers of any other
underground lines.
What warranties are available?
-
Easter Fence offers a
one-year warranty on materials and labor.
-
Our maintenance-free styles are covered by
manufacturers' warranties on the materials. In short, the manufacturers'
warranties ensure the vinyl, aluminum, steel, or Montage fence will not peel,
rot, split, flake, blister, corrode, or fade abnormally when exposed to normal
weather and use. Neither Easter Fence's one-year warranty nor the
manufacturers' limited lifetime warranties cover damage to fences incurred by
improper abuse or damage, flood, fire, or other acts of nature.
-
Vinyl fences are covered by
the manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty on the materials. For more information on the
warranty on the Legends Vinyl product, see the
vinyl warranty brochure.
-
The Montage fence is covered
by a manufacturer's 20-year limited warranty (1 year for gates). For further
information on the warranty for the Ameristar Montage fence, see the
Montage warranty brochure.
-
The aluminum fences are
covered by a manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty. The steel fences are
covered by a manufacturer's 10-year limited warranty. Additional warranty
information for these maintenance-free options is available in the brochures
found on the appropriate pages elsewhere on this site.
What does it mean for a
fence to meet pool code, and what fences can Easter Fence install that will meet the
code?
-
The United States Consumer
Product Safety Commission (www.cpsc.gov)
has released a set of pool code guidelines, but individual municipalities have
freedom to apply the recommended guidelines more or less stringently. In
general, fences around pools should be no less than 48" tall with no less
than 45" between horizontal rails. Alternatively, if the horizontal
rails are closer than 45" apart, then the fence can be at least 48" tall with no
less than 1-3/4" spacing between the pickets. All gates should be
self-closing and self-latching.
-
Every Easter Fence estimator is familiar
with the national code and the codes of local municipalities, and the estimator
will be sure to highlight the styles of fence that will meet your pool fencing
needs. Easter Fence can install pool code-compliant styles of all
varieties of fence.
