The Big Box is the go-to for many home improvement projects but using them for fencing can be costly and self-defeating. Here’s why:
COST: The Big Box cut it’s teeth by being cheap – not so anymore. Fact is, apples-to-apples, many common fencing components cost less at FenceMart with a number of complete fencing packages priced substantially lower. *
* EXAMPLE: The Roseville, MI Big Box is today (May, ’26) offering a 204′ package of 4′, Green vinyl chain link priced at $3,519.12 (plus Sales Tax). They are currently “SOLD OUT” of Black. At FenceMart, 204′ of 4′, Green, Black or Brown vinyl chain link purchased as a similar package costs only $3,055.52 (plus Sales Tax), a $500.00 savings. Pocket the 500.00 or gift it to your local Big Box, your choice.
QUALITY: Some Big Boxes sell ONLY imported fencing components, leaving an impression that “buying cheap” is their sole criteria. At FenceMart, we take pride in saying all of our major components are American made to the highest standards, with only minimal, high quality, imported hardware. Here you “Buy American”, assuring both quality and equity by keeping our U.S. dollars home.
AVAILABILITY: Nothing will stop an install or repair quicker than finding the Big Box has run out of some or all material needed to bring a project to completion. Not the case at FenceMart. We stock enough to finish the job and when special orders are called for, they are available within days, not months.
SELECTION: The Big Box stocks only a very narrow selection of only the fastest turning items and only in a very limited number of styles and sizes. FenceMart handles a complete line of every fence component and, when needed, can customize an order to meet our client’s specific need.
CONDITION: At FenceMart, we’re sticklers for handling our materials with the utmost care…our boss insists upon it. If you’ve seen some of the material at the Big Box…..well…..you already know.
MATERIAL SELECTION ASSISTANCE: The odds of the Big Box floor staff having experience in breaking out a complete and accurate fencing material takeoff is quite slim. Having them assist in choosing the appropriate hardware in the correct sizes and quantities to properly complete a project slimmer still. FenceMart? We’ve been assisting both DIYers and contractors with exactly this personalized service for 81 years.
BUILD and INSTALLATION ASSISTANCE: The odds of the Big Box floor staff having adequate experience in fencing installation to offer meaningful advice is also quite slim. FenceMart? Again, we’ve been doing just this for 81 years.
CONVENIENCE: If all of the above doesn’t make it clear, FenceMart is just plain convenient. No quarter mile walk through a jammed parking lot. No quarter mile walk through the chaos that is the Big Box. No searching for questionable help before waiting in a slow moving checkout line. Every needed part, one store, one stop, expertly assisted with no minimum purchase; don’t buy 50 feet of chain link if you only need 12; don’t buy pre-packaged gate hardware when you only need two pieces; pay only for that which you need. The Big Box can’t say that.
At the Big Box, fencing is a minor sideline. At FenceMart, it’s our livelihood. As always, the choice is your’s but don’t you owe it to yourself to at least give us a call?
