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 (March, ’26) offering a 204′ package of 4′, Black vinyl chain link priced at $3,954.07 (plus Sales Tax). At FenceMart, 204′ of 4′, Black vinyl chain link purchased as a similar package costs only $3,055.52 (plus Sales Tax), a savings of 952.00. Pocket the 952.00 or ‘donate’ it to the 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, import hardware. Here you “Buy American”, assuring both quality and equity by keeping U.S. dollars here at 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 one or two styles or sizes. FenceMart handles complete lines of every fence component and, when needed, can customize an order to our customer’s own specification.
CONDITION: At FenceMart, all material is handled with the utmost care from reception to delivery. 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 list 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 parking lot. No quarter mile walk around the store. No searching for less-than-qualified help before waiting in a long, slow checkout line. Every needed part, one stop, one store, expertly assisted with no minimum purchase: – don’t buy 50′ of material if you only need 12; don’t buy pre-packaged gate hardware for a double gate when you only need one hinge; pay only for that which you need. The Big Box can’t do that.
At FenceMart, fencing is our livelihood. At the Big Box, it’s a minor sideline. As always, the choice is your’s but don’t you owe it to yourself to at least give us a call?
