Fencing Materials That Last, Even During Palm Beach Hurricane-Season

Hurricane Season is Looming

Vacationers know Palm Beach for its beautiful sunshine, but if you’re a long-time resident, you know that sunshine comes at a cost. Hurricane season is looming, which means you have to prep all your outdoor features, from bringing in patio decor to securing larger items. You have a lot on your plate. 

If you’re looking for a fence contractor in Palm Beach that knows the struggle, Superior Fence & Rail of Palm Beach is the contractor for you. Whether your old fence needs replacement before the new season, or you’re looking to start a whole new project, you need a team of fencing experts who know hurricane prep. 

Addressing Your Fencing Needs

You need a fence that can withstand greater wind loads and won’t be impacted by intense rainfall. While wood can be a great addition, it will require frequent maintenance to withstand the Palm Beach coastal storms. With all of the other things on your hurricane prep list, you need a fence that reduces your workload. Researching the best hurricane-proof fence in Palm Beach is just another task on your list, which is why we have provided this helpful overview.

Hurricane-Proof Fencing in Palm Beach

Here at Superior Fence & Rail of Palm Beach, we have one of the largest fencing selections. This way, you’re sure to find a style you like that will withstand the intense coastal storms and remain looking brand new year-round. While we take pride in our highly optimized installation methods, not all materials are made equal. Here is a brief overview of some of the materials you might choose from, so that you can make an informed decision about your yard’s fencing needs.

Palm Beach Aluminum Fencing

Our aluminum fences are a great option because their open picket design allows wind to pass right through, preventing wind-load damage. All our aluminum fencing products come standard with SolarShield technology to prevent fading. The powder coating we use can withstand 1500 hours of continuous salt spray testing. These features ensure that your fence does not rust and remains stable even in harsh winds.

Palm Beach Wood Fencing

Wood fencing is porous, which is concerning in a coastal environment, especially during hurricane season. There are ways to make this material work, such as staining it regularly to prevent wood rot and warping. But most importantly, a solid wood fence will need sturdy posts. That is why our wood fence posts are secured in concrete. This ensures your fence stays upright even during harsh storms. Our high-quality lumber is made to last. Just make sure you stain and seal it annually to keep it water-resistant. 

Palm Beach Vinyl Fencing

Our vinyl fencing is optimized with our StayStrong rails, engineered with 33% deeper grooves. This allows your fence to withstand higher wind loads, making it stronger. Our PrivacyLock vinyl actually locks together, eliminating wind penetration and substantially reducing the risk of fence failure. Vinyl’s non-porous nature will also protect it from rain. Overall, vinyl is a great option for mitigating weather damage during hurricane season.

The Best Fencing Material for Palm Beach Hurricanes

Ultimately, choosing the best fence for Palm Beach coastal storms is about deciding what factors matter most to you. If you want a wood fence, you just have to be willing to keep up with the maintenance that comes with it. If you’re concerned about water damage and warping, a vinyl fence might be a better fit for your project. But overall, during a hurricane, wind is your biggest threat. You’ll need to consider fencing styles that allow enough wind flow to avoid your fence becoming a giant sail.
