    Ornamental Double Swing Gate with Operator

    Are you considering the installation of a driveway gate for your home? If yes, Hercules Fence is here to help you identify what’s the best driveway gate for your property. Read to learn about the benefits of aluminum and steel automatic gates and access control for your residential property.

    Aluminum and steel gates look very similar but provide very different benefits for homeowners.

    Aluminum driveway gates are beneficial to homeowners because it  light-weight and puts less stress on gate openers than steel gates. If you need a low-maintenance gate for your home, aluminum is a perfect driveway gate selection because it doesn’t rust.

    Steel driveway gates are beneficial because they are tremendously stronger than aluminum and difficult to bend or break. If you are worried about your steel fence rusting, you can reduce that likelihood with advanced powder coating technologies. These coatings can make your steel driveway gate as rust resistant as aluminum fencing.

    If you need a high quality and affordable driveway automatic gate today, Hercules is here to serve you.

  • Hercules Fence Donates Dog Run Fence to Humane Society

    Happy Dog Enjoys New Dog Run Fence at Montgomery County Humane Society.

    It is a pleasure for Hercules Fence to do its part in making the community a better place to live and work. Recently, Hercules Fence donated a beautiful dog run fence to the Montgomery County Humane Society (MCHS).

    Hercules Fence received a message from Shari Kalina, a volunteer with the Montgomery County Humane Society in Rockville, Maryland about the shelter being very much in need of a local fencing company that could provide and install approximately 100 feet of chain link fencing on their shelter grounds so the dogs could have a place to exercise off-leash.

    Prior to the completion of the fencing project, the dogs lacked space to run around. The dogs need living space beyond their cages and a dog run provides the dogs a space to have fun and exercise while increasing their chances of getting adopted.

    Bruce and many other volunteers have said the dog run fence has made a tremendous difference lifestyle improvement for the shelter dogs. The Montgomery County Humane Society is thankful Hercules Fence has made this project into a reality. The Humane Society has created a plaque to thank Hercules Fence for this very important contribution to the well being of their shelter dogs. The plaque is mounted on the pen.

  • Temporary Fences: How To Benefit From Temporary Fencing

    If you are considering installing a temporary fence, Hercules Fence is here to help you install one that meets your needs without sacrificing style. Read to learn about temporary fences and the benefits they can provide you and your property.

    Temporary fences are often lightweight fencing designs composed of multiple pieces or sections put together to form different perimeter shapes and sizes.

    Temporary fencing is great for construction sites but can be used for any industry.

    The following are exceptional temporary fencing:

    Chain-Link Fencing

    This fencing consists of interwoven steel wires that create a distinctive diamond pattern. It makes for good temporary fencing because it is rot resistant, has a low risk of toppling, and makes it easy for construction managers to watch over work sites. The fence is beneficial for both safety reasons and protecting property from trespassers.

    Welded Wire Panel Fencing

    As for welded panel fencing, the wire mesh panel is welded between two posts. The units can be arranged in any orientation without unrolling, cutting, or attaching anything.

    This temporary fence is more stable than the chain link fence because the spaces are smaller between its wires. This fencing makes it challenging for potential intruders to climb welded wire panel fences. Potential intruders do not have enough space to a grip or a solid foot on the fence making it great for property security enhancement.

    Plastic Fencing

    If you need help with crowd control, plastic fencing is great for regulating traffic flow. Police, security companies, and concert managers use this fencing to set perimeters.

    The fencing comes in a wide array of shapes, colors, and styles. Some are stackable while others are folded up to make them convenient for carrying.

    Dog Fence Kits

    If you need temporary residential fencing, use a dog fence kit. A dog fence kit is easy to install with stakes and posts. Simply wrap around the fabric or plastic mesh material to setup this temporary fence.

    Hercules Fence will help you make the right decisions while keeping you in your budget.

  • PVC Vinyl: Choosing The Right Vinyl Fence For Your Home Remodeling Project

    Are you planning to install a vinyl fence for your home? If yes, you need to learn how to navigate through the brands and types of vinyl fencing in the market. Read now to learn some essential tips you should know before choosing a vinyl fence for your home.

    Pay attention to the materials used in making the PVC Vinyl fencing you desire. Vinyl fences are not created equal. For example, Professional grade vinyl fences are made of virgin PVC vinyl while consumer grade fences are often made of recycled plastics. There is nothing wrong with using recycled products or wanting environmentally friendly fencing products. But you need to consider what you really want out of your fence to know what type is best for you. Professional grade vinyl fences can withstand the weather elements, high winds and UV damage more than consumer grade fences.

    Vinyl fencing made of recycled plastics is more likely to become brittle, fade and warp prematurely. A professional fencing contractor will use virgin vinyl and a mix of UV consumer grade fence to create the perfect fit for your fence.

    Carefully Examine Your Vinyl Fence Component Sizes and Wall Thickness

    When estimating the strength of your vinyl fence, ask a fence contractor whether a vinyl fence must use a 4X4 wood fence post on the inside of the vinyl fence post. If the fence needs the wood fence post, this will signal to you the vinyl post is too thin and weak to hold the fence panel length of the vinyl posts.

    If your vinyl fence has thick walls, you will not need a wooden 4X4 posts to support its fence panels.

  • The Galvanized Chain Link Fence Versus The Coated Chain Link Fence

    Are you in need of a galvanized fence or a chain link fence, but do not know the difference between the two? If yes, we are here to help you make the right fencing decisions for your property by providing you a comparison of the two types of fences. Read to learn the differences now.

    The Chain Link Fences

    Chain Link fencing is often good for those whom have a home or a large yard. The chain link fence will assist you in keeping people and pets in and out of your yard.

    Chain link fencing can be fitted with privacy screens and prefect for home security. Chain link fencing can come in galvanized steel or in a coating. Each comes with its own unique advantages and disadvantages.

    Galvanized Chain Link Fencing

    Galvanized Chain Link Fencing comes in two types – woven and welded.  A chain link fence can be galvanized before being weaved or welded.

    If a chain link fence is galvanized before it is welded or woven, it is more likely to be more durable and long lasting. However, this type of fencing is challenging to find and comes with a higher cost than the average chain link fence. No matter welded or woven both galvanized fences will have the same finish.

    If you do not want a galvanized chain link fence, you can purchase a coated chain link fence. The best type of coated chain link fencing is one with vinyl coating.

    Galvanized Chain Link fences that are welded or woven can be coated in vinyl. Vinyl coating will protect your chain fence from both rust and corrosion.

    If you want an extremely durable chain link fence, the best chain link fence you can purchase is one that is galvanized before welding or weaving and then finally coated with vinyl.

    What is the difference between woven and welded links?

    Chain link fences are not created equally. When a woven chain link fence is assembled, pieces of steel are bent and threaded like fabric. The steel is not connected in any way.

    The welded chain link fence is more durable than the welded chain link fence. This type of chain link fence is woven together and then welded so that each section can be put together and welded.

    No matter your choice in chain link fencing, always weigh your need against your budget. If you need a heavy duty chain link fence, we recommend purchasing and installing a chain link fence coated in vinyl. This type of fencing will last longer than a naked galvanized chain link fence.

    If you need a chain link fence installed today, let Hercules Fence serve you.

    Hercules Fence will help you make the right decisions while keeping you in your budget.

    Hercules Fence has a superb reputation for quality service and products. For example, we installed a fence for Harrison Tyler, one of the living grandsons of the 10th President of the United States, John Tyler. Hercules Fence does not only install residential, commercial and high-security, high quality fencing but also Hercules Fence donates products and labor to charities, as well as, ABC’s remodeling project called “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition”.
