May, 2009 -- Trex Company, the nation's largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking, railing and fencing products, is expanding the availability of its new picket-style fencing to dealers and homeowners nationwide. Initially stocked only at a limited number of retail outlets, Trex Surroundings™, which debuted in January at the 2009 International Builders' Show (IBS), has gained instant popularity among dealers and consumers alike, earning expanded distribution across the country.
"Following our introduction of Surroundings in Utah and Colorado, the product was well-received in the marketplace" said Lance Bunch, product manager of fencing and trim at Trex. "This collection is a strategic addition to our fencing portfolio and an ideal complement to our existing Seclusions line of privacy fencing."
Trex's Surroundings Wood-Alternative Fencing
In addition to being easy to install, Trex Surroundings features unsurpassed durability that can withstand winds of more than 100 mph. Hidden brackets create a sleek surface appearance and eliminate concern about fading and rusting hardware. Because Trex Surroundings stand-alone posts and pickets will not rot, the product also requires little maintenance and absolutely no painting or staining.
"In the current tough economic climate, Trex Surroundings is a smart fencing choice for those who want to beautify and add value to their homes," said Bunch. "Time- and cost-efficient, the familiar picket-style configuration comes with simple step-by-step instructions to ensure easy installation."
Available in the brand's popular natural brown Saddle color, Trex Surroundings may be installed in a variety of private and semi-private picket configurations. The collection's stand-alone 5'x5' post allows for installation on most types of terrain and may be racked down slopes to accommodate property lines and create a seamless look. Installing Surroundings is an easy summer project that contractors or homeowners can complete in a matter of days to beautifully frame an outdoor living space.
"We recently installed Trex Surroundings for a high-profile residential project in Charlotte, N.C., where it was specified for its durability and low-maintenance," added Bunch. "With the nationwide product distribution, we anticipate additional large-scale projects to follow."
Trex Surroundings is protected by a 25-year limited residential warranty. Visit Trex.com for more information or to find local dealers and distributors.
