Question 1

What is molded fencing made of?

Accepted Answer

Molded fencing is typically made from composite materials, combining wood fibers and plastic for a durable and eco-friendly option.

Question 2

What exactly is "molded" fencing, and is it a good fit for a Southern California property?

Accepted Answer

Molded fencing is manufactured using a process that casts high-density polyethylene  into molds taken from real stone, masonry, or deeply grained wood. It gives you the luxurious, heavy look of a stone wall or premium timber, but without the vulnerabilities. It is an exceptional fit for the beach because the material is entirely non-porous. It will never absorb coastal moisture, crumble from salt corrosion like real masonry, or attract termites, making it a highly durable, true lifetime product.

Question 3

Since molded fences are solid panels, will they blow over in strong coastal winds?

Accepted Answer

It is a great question, as solid panels can act like a sail in heavy gusts. However, high-quality molded fences are engineered specifically to handle extreme weather. The panels are reinforced with internal galvanized steel in the rails, and the posts are set deep into concrete. When installed to our strict coastal standards, many molded fence systems are actually hurricane-certified and can withstand sustained wind speeds of up to 115–130 mph. They also act as incredible windbreaks and sound barriers against crashing waves or busy beach traffic.

Question 4

Will blowing sand and dirt get trapped in the deep textures, and will the sun fade the color?

Accepted Answer

While the deep, realistic crevices of molded stone or wood textures can catch a bit of blowing sand or salt, maintaining them is incredibly easy. A quick rinse with a standard garden hose or a low-PSI pressure washer easily blasts away coastal grime and restores the look. As for the sun, you don't need to worry about the harsh beach rays bleaching the fence; the color is mixed completely throughout the material and heavily fortified with UV inhibitors to prevent fading and chalking over time.
