The Pexco Fence Slat Difference: A Real-World Look
Sometimes, the difference between acceptable and exceptional is right in front of your eyes. Take a look at the two sides of the fence in this image:
On the left side, you’ll see cracked, brittle, broken slats from another fence manufacturer.
On the right, Pexco’s Bottom Lock Fence Slats standing strong, seven years after installation.
This side-by-side comparison of price vs. quality tells a compelling story about durability and long-term value.
The Pitfalls of “Other” Fence Slats
Lower-priced slats might save you money up front but what’s the real cost? Budget slats show their worth over time. The result is a fence that looks worn out, offers less privacy, and probably needs replacing far too soon. At Pexco, cutting corners to cut costs just isn’t our style. We believe that a good investment should last and look great doing it.
Built to Endure
Engineered with High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), infused with UV inhibitors, and supported with 2 internal “legs”, our slats are made to resist the elements of the outdoors, including:
- Harsh Sunlight: UV inhibitors extend the life of the slats, preventing the brittleness seen in cheaper options.
- Severe Weather: Rain, wind, salt, sand, our slats can handle it.
- Environmental Pollutants: From road grime to petroleum residues, PDS® slats shrug it off with ease.
Pexco doesn’t just make fence slats; we set the standard. With over 40 years of experience, our proprietary bottom-locking design not only provides a sleek and secure installation but also offers up to 75% privacy without sacrificing airflow.
The Verdict
When it comes to chain link fence slats, don’t settle for products that deteriorate prematurely. Choose the slats that stay strong, stay beautiful, and stay locked in—Pexco Bottom Lock Slats. The proof is in the picture.
