FOUND: The motherload link for international fence product wholesale
Not sure how this website has been hiding for so long but the Fence Wizard Web Search Crew has uncovered a vast collection of International Fence Industry Links all on one convenient site:
EC21- The Golbal B2B Marketplace. The site is loaded with just about everything - so we ran a search for Fence and struck gold. Here is what we found"
These are worldwide companies manufacturing, selling, importing, and buying Fence Product on the World Market.
18 Companies involved with Vinyl Fence
29 Companies involved with Bamboo Fence
473 Companies involved with Chain Link Fence
493 Companies involved with Iron Fence
Follow your own nose from the Home Page if you want to explore importing or exporting product. We will be testing the links over then next couple of week and will add to this report soon.

FENCE WIZARD MAD. Online fence companies that suck!
The Fence Wizard is here to lend a hand. This time we would like to lend a finger. Today's rant is directed at two online retailers of fence prodcut.
First off - Do not buy chain link products online ever. You will pay far too much and get despicably lightweight specs. If you didnt know - such is the case at home despot and lowes as well. Where should you buy? Find a local fence company that offers retail sales - they are hard to find but well worth the trouble.
Here was my test quote from fencecenter.com.
I asked for 6' high x 100' of chain link fence. The spec they provided is less than pathetic, it includes 1 5/8" 17 Gauge Line Posts - the FENCE WIZARD would not bother pooping on this. Also included 11 Gauge Aluminum ties - I have never heard of anything weaker than 9 gauge until now. Remarkable. Total cost with shipping ran $8.16 per foot. A fence with appropraite specs should run about $6.50-7.00 per foot retail. Again with "appropriate specs".
What a nightmare, but it doesnt end there by any means. I next went to efence.com and priced out a basic 6' high cedar fence. Spec included 5/8" x 6" wide Cedar Pickets and 2 rails. Wood posts included "for beauty and strength". I had the online calculator run me a price for a 100' straight run - no gates. The price----An unbelievable $2,144.00 excluding concrete. This is far above what such a fence should install for with labor. Is anybody buying this garbage for these prices??? Once again - efence.com and fencecenter.com are complete rip offs. Sadly they are likely two of many.
