How it Works



Modular Fence REup-333.jpg

One

After annual harvest, we salvage vineyard cane, which is usually burned. Cane is cleaned of tendrils and cut to measure.

Two

Natural preservative treatments enhance its durability and organic beauty.

Three

The cane is woven onto wrought iron frames to create panels. Wire secures the cane to prevent settling.

Four

Panels are linked and installed to create a modern, woven, and sustainable fence.

Maintenance


Maintenance


While the vineyard cane inserts can last up to 10-15 years from time to time they will need to be replaced. The Modern Fence contemplates this and allows for a simple, component based replenishment process.


One

Replacement inserts are shipped woven onto recyclable PVC pipes.

Two

Remove old vineyard cane by removing the top rail of the existing frame. Old cane can be mulched, composted, or disposed of in any municipal yard waste program.

Three

With the top rail removed, the pipes allow the insert mat to slide easily into the frame.

Four

The pipes are then removed from the insert mat.

Five

The top rail of the frame is replaced and secured to the panel.

The now-restored panel will continue to provide years of practical and ornamental value.

CONSTRUCTION

A panel frame is connected by brackets. Vertical tension rods (picks) and a lateral brace keep the panels dimensionally stable. The mats are woven onto the tension rods and stabilized with copper wire.

Panel Installation

Panels are installed by sliding the iron stake on either side into PVC pipe sleeves secured into a concrete post hole footing. Panels are then connected to one another using brackets. The component based construction allows you to remove the entire fence if you ever decide to relocate.

Dimensions

Panels (W x H): 5' x 6’, 4’ x 6’, 5’ x 3’, 4’ x 3’
Rods: 36”
Weight: 55lbs

Custom dimensions and applications available.

LIFESPAN 

Frames outlast any wooden fence on the market. Inserts last up to 10 years. Replacement mats can be installed with minimal disruption to the fence.

Markets

The Modern Fence is currently available for installations anywhere in the United States.


Environmental Benefits 

The vineyard mat inserts in The Modern Fence require little to no “net new” water or energy to be consumed for construction because it is a vineyard byproduct and the wood does not require any kiln drying or milling. By utilizing vineyard cane you are helping to sequester carbon and other air pollutants that would otherwise be released in burning.    


Preassembled Panels

Assembled panels come with everything required for a qualified contractor to install them.


Component Parts

Component parts can be ordered by a qualified contractor for assembly and installation.
