For many Central Florida home and business owners looking for a quality fence, hardscapes or retaining wall, there are many different materials to choose from. It can be a big investment and you want it to last a long time. You also want something that looks great all year long without having much maintenance or worrying about insect infestation.
Wood and vinyl were once popular choices, but exposure to our hot, humid environment makes wood split and become an open invitation for destructive bugs. While vinyl warped and fades in the hot sunny conditions.
How Durable Is Precast Concrete Fencing?
Precast concrete has become the smart choice for durable fencing in Florida. Consider Japan’s tsunami, though most of the coastal area homes were wiped out, the precast fencing was still standing.
Precast concrete can also stand up to hurricane strength winds and they are fire resistant. This means you won’t have to spend the time or money replacing the fence, like you would other materials.
“The primary ingredients of concrete -sand, gravel, and cement- are mineral based. When mixed with water, the cement chemically reacts to create a crystalline matrix with a high compressive strength. This matrix binds the sand and gravel together, creating concrete. Unlike other construction materials that can rust, rot, or otherwise degrade when in the presence of moisture, concrete can actually get stronger if there are unhydrated cement particles available to react with the water” according to Precast Sustainability
Precast fencing has the attractive natural look of masonry stone work, with a variety of colors and textures. Which stays beautiful for decades without fading or warping.
