I have been very pleased with my purchase of a Simtek fence. I give it an A+ for appearance, a solid A for performance and characteristics, and a B for affordability. Biggest downside is that it costs more than a regular vinyl fence so it's not for everybody. We paid around $60 per lineal foot installed. But if you can afford the upfront cost then you'll probably be thrilled with this fence like I am. It has a lifetime warranty which says a lot to me. My project was done by Lynden Premiere Fence Works in Ottawa and when I had questions I called the factory in Utah directly. They treated me politely and were a huge help in explaining what sets their product apart. Through the entire process I was treated very well. I get at least 2-3 neighbors per week who ask about the fence and where I got it. I even have people I have never met that drive or walk by and knock on my door to ask me questions. I'm happy to answer because I really like this product and this company.
