How is vinyl fence/rail made?

The raw materials to make vinyl are mixed, heated and extruded into lineals that look similar to lumber.  Southern then purchases these lineals from suppliers. Many of extrusion producers make co-extruded lineals, with a capstock of roughly 15% to 25% of the product containing may additional additives and weathering ingredients.

Southern adds value by making-to-order. When we receive your order, we schedule for production. Southern cuts the lineals to size, routs holes for pickets, assembles the desired style ordered, packages the order and then ships. Southern's >order >make >ship >bill process is one of the most efficient in the industry.
