Living on the coast of British Columbia comes with stunning views, but also powerful storms, wind, and unpredictable weather. For homeowners like Gerry from Victoria, BC, durability and privacy aren’t just nice to have; they’re essential. That’s exactly why he chose SLEEKFENCE. And after years of use, he couldn’t be happier.
In this blog, we’ll explore how this coastal fence stood up to Gerry’s real-world needs: extreme wind, full privacy, and even pet safety.
Built to withstand very windy conditions.
Gerry’s backyard sits just steps from the Pacific Ocean. That means exposure to high winds and heavy storms is a regular occurrence, not just a seasonal worry. When other fences might lean, rattle, or even come apart, SLEEKFENCE doesn’t budge.
“The fence has been absolutely perfect and hasn’t shown the slightest possibility of moving,” Gerry explains. “So in that regard, I highly recommend it.”
That’s the difference structural-grade aluminum makes. Unlike wood, which can warp or crack, or vinyl, which may sag or pop out in harsh weather, SLEEKFENCE is designed to hold its shape for decades. It’s powder-coated for extra strength and zero rust, ideal for salt air and any coastal fence environment.
Designed for privacy and admiration.
Privacy is what many homeowners want most in a fence. For Gerry, the clean lines and solid panels of SLEEKFENCE deliver exactly that.
“We’ve had a few folks stop and ask us about the fence,” he says. “And we tell them, yep, private, so we can do whatever we want behind here with complete privacy.”
This level of privacy doesn’t come with compromise. SLEEKFENCE’s minimalist, architectural style adds curb appeal without sacrificing seclusion. It’s a coastal fence that feels upscale, not boxed in.
Easy to customize, pet-friendly and corrosion-free.
When Gerry’s family moved in, they quickly noticed a small issue: their tiny dog could sneak through a gap at the bottom of the fence. But instead of calling in a contractor, Gerry fixed it himself with extra panels from SLEEKFENCE.
“I was able to buy additional panels and attach them to the bottom of the fence without dismantling anything,” he says. “Altogether I added about 60 panels… Now our little guy is safely contained.”
This DIY solution was possible thanks to SLEEKFENCE’s modular design. Each panel is easy to adjust and install with no special tools or fence-take-aparts needed. And best of all, years later, there’s still no rust or corrosion to be seen. That’s the power of a coastal fence built to last.
The verdict: “It’ll probably outlast me.”.
Gerry wraps up his experience with confidence that only comes from living with a product that does exactly what it promises:
“I can only say that I recommend this fence for all the reasons I just mentioned. The longevity is probably going to outlast me. It’s aluminum, so there’s no chance of corrosion or weathering… Highly recommended.”
For homeowners in BC or anywhere coastal, Gerry’s story is a clear reminder: not all fences are built the same. If you’re looking for a coastal fence that handles storms, ensures privacy, and is built to last, SLEEKFENCE is the one to trust.
