July 2014 Here are some articles and items that were being covered in the July 2014 issue of World Fence News, 5 years ago this month. • Cover story: A North Carolina homeowner is sold on low mainte- nance vinyl fence, but bucks tradi- tional white color for more natural stained-wood look. Due to the requirements of home- owner associations (HOAs), smooth white vinyl fences are practically the only vinyl fences seen around the af- fluent homes of North Carolina and South Carolina's coastal plains. However, some homeowners are wanting a change. After reviewing different in- stalled vinyl fence samples at Creative Fence Concepts's showroom in Myr- tle Beach, S.C., one homeowner chose Bufftech ® 4-rail post and rail Fence and Bufftech Chesterfield vinyl pri- vacy fence – both with CertaGrain ® Texture in Sierra Blend. The identical color and texture makes the transition from post and rail to privacy a smooth one. Photos courtesy Creative Fence Concepts, Inc.
