Aluminum Fences Direct is a new wholesale distribution company designed to meet the needs
of both, the home owner and small to mid-sized fence contractors. We are the
Premier Direct On-Line Dealer for Sentinel Fence, a US manufacturer
based in North Carolina that's a leader in the aluminum industry and is
committed to customer satisfaction as well as growing market share.
Other companies say that they're US companies but if you ask them where they're buying their
aluminum from, in just about ALL instances, you'll find that they're getting it from China.
Sentinel buys their aluminum from US companies and assembles it right here in North
Carolina, USA. Even the arched gates, estate and cantilever gates are manufactured
at their plant in North Carolina from materials purchased locally, so you can feel confident
that only the stringent US standards are applied... all without the use of any lead! Plus,
being a US wholesaler and using a US manufacturer helps to support more jobs here in the USA.
The products are also manufactured with an Environmentally Friendly Electrostatic Powder
Coating process. This powder coating not only leaves an extremely durable and weather resistant
coating on our products, it also doesn't emit the large amount of VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds)
that is common in liquid coating processes that damage the atmosphere. Our coating is
guaranteed to meet and exceed the stringent performance
requirements of the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA-2603) against corrosion and
fading, keeping your fence looking beautiful and Maintenance Free.
We started Aluminum Fences Direct because the larger fence contractors, with their
better pricing, are able to compete better for the aluminum and ornamental jobs leaving
the smaller guys to overcharge or just not get the jobs because they can't buy as low as
the larger guys. The larger fence contractors are buying in volume or buying from China
and assembling it themselves, whereas the smaller contractors don't have that capability.
We know this to be true as we had a small fence company that we started in 1999. We ended up selling
it in part because we saw this same competition which made it very hard to be profitable. The
large fence contractors had all the profit but only dropped their prices if a smaller contractor
tried to get aggressive. We know a lot about fencing, especially aluminum, so if you have any
questions in what you might need, please don't hesitate to contact us.
With our volume commitment and national coverage, we have contracted an aggressive discount structure
that we're able to forward on to you... the DIY home owner and smaller fence contractors.
As mentioned, all of our aluminum fence panels, posts and gates are made and assembled in
the USA which is why we can offer such a quick turn-around of just 5-10 business days.
Please contact us via e-mail with any
questions you may have about our materials, turn-around time, or special orders not mentioned on this
site.
Thank you for your consideration!
