Stock the fence everyone
actually wants.

A patented interlocking metal privacy-fence system — modern looks, easy to install, and priced with the wood and vinyl it outlasts. Here's the case for carrying it.

01 The opportunity

Florida keeps buying fences. Sell the one you can market to everyone.

Every storm season, every new development, every fence that blew through last year. The buyer who just watched their fence come apart wants one that won't make them do it again — and that's a differentiated product, not another identical wood-and-post quote.

In storm-exposed Florida, non-engineered fences tend to get replaced on a short cycle as wind events take their toll — an industry observation, not a fabricated replacement figure. Market size plus that repeat replacement is the demand a distributor sells into.

02 The product advantage

A patented interlocking system — not boards on posts.

ecFence is a patented interlocking metal privacy-fence system (U.S. Patent 11,066,846 B1). The panels lock together into a continuous, rigid run rather than hanging as separate boards that rack, gap, and pull loose over time.

Built for the Florida environment

An aluminum-zinc alloy (Galvalume®) coating with a durable, factory-applied finish, engineered against the sun and moisture that age ordinary fence fast. No warping, no rot, no repainting season after season.

True privacy

A solid, continuous face — no slat gaps that open up as the fence settles.

Low maintenance

It stays looking installed, with no annual maintenance.

Clean, modern look

A finished architectural face, not a utility fence — it reads as an upgrade to the property.

25-year limited warranty

A written commitment your customer can hold — and one less objection when closing the sale.

ecFence is engineered to meet the Florida Building Code (2023) High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) wind and engineering requirements and is sealed by a Florida-licensed professional engineer; it has been permitted on that basis in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties (HVHZ). Wind performance is rated per height — 115 MPH up to 6 ft, and up to 175 MPH over 6 ft to 8 ft.

ecFence offers PE-sealed engineering to meet the Florida Building Code (2023) HVHZ wind and engineering requirements (wind ratings vary by fence height), permitted in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. HVHZ compliance applies only when the system is installed in accordance with the signed and sealed engineering drawings for the permitted configuration. Installation to specification is the responsibility of the installer/permit holder.

03 The comparison

Engineered metal, priced in the wood-and-vinyl range.

Against the full-privacy systems you already carry, ecFence competes on durability that wood and vinyl can't match — and lands at materials pricing in their range.

ecFence adds PE-sealed HVHZ engineering (see above) — its wind credential is its own; this table compares durability, not wind.

Like every other bar, it's a market range: theirs is supplier-to-premium, yours is the spread you'd sell it at. Competitor figures are directional 2026 national materials ranges (supply, not installed); colored vinyl carries the finish premium over white.

Container terms

Every order is a full container (6,276 LF ≈ 1.2 miles of fence), delivered ~60 days after order — 50% deposit, balance before shipping; terms confirmed on application. You set your own resale price; ecFence does not dictate distributor pricing. Each container also comes with a tool most fence products don't: ecCalc turns a fence layout into a complete, accurate bill of materials — panels, starters, posts, trims, fasteners — so you quote and order without hand-counting.
