Local Business Description
Meridian Fence Supply, based in Schenectady, NY, has been manufacturing and distributing vinyl, aluminum, and chain link fencing since 1995. Operating as a wholesaler, the company custom-fabricates each order in-house using partially recycled materials, ensuring precision and durability. Their products serve homeowners and contractors across the Capital District, Saratoga County, and beyond. For residents near landmarks like Proctors Theatre or neighborhoods such as the Stockade Historic District and Woodlawn, Meridian’s fences are built to withstand local challenges. Frost heave often causes fence posts to shift in Schenectady’s freeze-thaw cycles; Meridian addresses this by using deeper-set posts and reinforced concrete footings to stabilize structures. Sagging gates, another common issue, are countered with heavy-duty hinges and tension adjustments during installation. By employing local staff and supporting the regional economy, Meridian provides reliable fencing solutions tailored to the area’s climate and soil conditions. Their commitment to quality craftsmanship and community ties makes them a trusted resource for durable, weather-resistant fences.
FAQs
How does Meridian Fence Supply prevent fence posts from shifting due to frost heave in Schenectady?
Frost heave is a frequent problem in upstate New York, especially in Schenectady’s clay-heavy soils. Meridian Fence Supply combats this by setting posts deeper than the frost line—typically 48 inches—and using a concrete base that extends below the freeze zone. They also add gravel at the bottom of the hole for drainage, reducing soil movement. This method keeps vinyl, aluminum, and chain link fences stable through winter thaws.
What types of custom fence styles does Meridian Fence Supply offer for residential properties?
Meridian manufactures hundreds of custom vinyl fence styles, along with aluminum and chain link options. Their vinyl is made from partially recycled materials, and each project is fabricated to order. Styles range from privacy panels and picket fences to ornamental designs. They cater to both homeowners and contractors, with products available for distribution throughout the Capital District and Saratoga County.
Can Meridian Fence Supply repair a sagging gate on an existing fence?
Yes, sagging gates are a common issue due to heavy use or frost heave. Meridian’s repair service includes adjusting hinges, replacing worn hardware, and reinforcing gate posts. For aluminum or vinyl gates, they can realign the frame and add tension cables if needed. They also offer weatherproofing treatments to prevent future sagging caused by moisture and temperature changes.
