Manufacturing Process

Vinyl post and rail is manufactured through an extrusion process which is defined as converting powder or granules into a continuous uniform melt and forcing this melt through a die which yields a desired shape.

Freedom Fence Company uses a co-extrusion system with two (2) twin-screw extruders.

Material  is added to each extruder and fused with heat and pressure as it moves through the screws.

It is pushed through an extrusion die at the desired profile.

The profile is then pulled by a haul-off through a series of calibrators and cooling spray tanks to cool the product to the desired temperature.

It is then pushed through a cut-off saw and cut to the proper length.

The 1½” x 5½” Double Ribbed Rail is inspected for any defects and four (4) locking notches are added to both end of the rail.

The rail is then packaged into 80 piece bundles and is ready for resale.

The 5” x 5” post is inspected and stacked on racks and moved to a holding area until it can be routed by our CNC Router.

The CNC Router cuts the holes into the posts to receive our 1½” x 5½” double ribbed rail. The posts are then packaged into bundles of 54 pieces ready for resale.
