440 Fence Survives Hurricane

I wanted to send pictures to show how well my fence survived Hurricane Rita in Beaumont, TX. My four-rail fence was to be completed the day Hurricane Rita came ashore. The western eyewall of the storm passed directly over our area with sustained winds clocked at 105 to 115 mph. There is evidence of significant tornadic damage on our property as evidenced by several twisted and uprooted trees. Several of the trees landed directly on the fence as seen in the photos. The fence sustained minimal damage to only the sections taking direct hits from the fallen trees!

Practically every fence in Southeast Texas was severely damaged or destroyed by the sustained winds. Every wooden or PVC rail fence in this area was either leveled or leaning and needed replacement or major repairs. Many cedar post and wire fences were leaning as well. My fence remained upright, level, and as good as new! This product withstood the third strongest Atlantic Hurricane in recorded history! This should speak for itself!
