Precast Concrete

One of more popular products at Artisan Precast is our traditional WoodCrete® two, three and four Rail Picket Fence system.  This fence features durable construction and a maintenance-free design, and has even begun to emerge as a popular and versatile alternative for two, three, and four split rail wood fences.

A great benefit to the Artisan Precast WoodCrete® Rail fencing system is our fences have the authentic appearance of wood that is highlighted by an accentuated wood grain texture and pattern.  The posts are mitered top and provide the appearance of a custom-crafted fence.

Another reason customer’s love our Woodcrete® Rail is because it can be installed as pedestrian barriers, in particular along city parks and equestrian pathways attests to its beauty and maintenance-free attributes.  It is a popular and flexible product line for park perimeters, as well as along streets in master planned residential communities.

Overall, our WoodCrete® Rail offers a combination of artistry in design, functionality, durability and a low cost alternative to other fences. In this economy, when few things can save you money, why not go with a great appearance as well? Artisan Precast is the right choice.

One of the best ways to be prepared when asking for an Artisan Precast fence quote is to gather together all of the information you have on hand.  This includes asking yourself questions such as “how many linear feet do need,” “how high do I want my wall to be,” or “which of the Artisan Precast designs do I like the best?”  By being upfront with your Artisan Precast Sales Representative, you save both time and money during the entire purchasing process.  The time you put into your request in the early stages can save you aggravation and hours wasted on having to change your quote or actual fence because some small detail was originally left out.

There are many ways in which you can find out how many linear feet you want your fence to be.  The easiest and cheapest way is to purchase any form of measurement from a local hardware store.  This way you can feel confident about the numbers you are providing.  Once you know the amount of linear feet needed, the next step is counting off the number of openings required for your enclosure (i.e. doors or gates).  By predetermining how many openings you want, and how wide these openings are suppose to be, you will avoid problems later with cars or pedestrian entry ways. 

The last thing you need to know before talking with an Artisan Precast Sales Representative is the height of your fence and what type of design you are most interested in.  It is always helpful if customers have already looked into their community regulations, as certain communities only allow fences and walls to be put up so high.  Once you have determined the height, take a look at our website and browse one of our seven designs (Fencestone, ChiselCrete, WoodCrete, BrickCrete, WoodCrete Rail, SmoothCrete or CedarCrete).  After you have taken a look and made a final decision, you will be ready to go!  We at Artisan Precast look forward to speaking with you.  Feel free to call or visit our website with any additional questions you may have.

One of the biggest questions in today’s construction business is deciding what’s the better option; a concrete fence or a traditional block wall?  Both systems have many advantages however a precast concrete fence is superior choice!
One of the many reasons to choose a precast concrete fence is how the panels are leveled.  When you are working with a traditional block wall, all blocks need to be individually squared, leveled and true, or else your entire wall can be ruined.  Whereas with precast concrete fencing this type of leveling is only needed on the panels, and you level far few panels then you would individual blocks.
Another advantage is the aesthetics to consider when choosing between which type of fencing and walls to use.  With precast concrete fences, there are a multitude of different textures, designs and colors to choose from.  However, with a block wall you only have the choice of a square gray block, which in order to color or add texture you must do so after it is erected.  The beauty of Artisan Precast is our system uses a unique coloring technique available on all our concrete walls and fences. Formula is added into production process and any color desired can be created by using a simple computer system. Our system requires no additional staining to the products and has a fade rate of less than one percent over ten years.  We also offer numerous texture options resembling stone, brick or wood, and the fencing looks great without requiring any finish work.
As you can see, a traditional block wall can not compare.  For more information, please feel free to visit our website or contact us at 1.800.511.2747.

Many homeowners and businesses require high levels of security for their homes and business facilities.  Artisan Precast now offers the best solution: the installation of a precast concrete fencing enclosure.  Our walls and fences are available in numerous designs and colors, along with our system having the ability to attach access gates, making our walls virtually impenetrable.  Any non welcome guest would need heavy machinery to break through our steel-reinforced concrete panels.

Our system can even attach to an adjoining guardhouses or sentry shack. Whatever configuration your project requires, precast concrete fencing products are the premium choice.
