STRONG, TOUGH, RESISTS ABUSE. "REMEMBERS" SHAPE Because it's made of DuPont high density SCLAIR+ polyethylene resin. VEXAR is sturdy. It's made to withstand every type of normal abuse. Special built-in stabilizers help VEXAR fencing to resist ultraviolet damage. And, because VEXAR is made entirely of plastic, N returns to its original shape after crimping, crushing, , or stretching,. It "forgets" mistreatment within hours. 2. LIGHTWEIGHT FOR HANDLING EASE. VEXAR Is made of 100 percent DuPont polyethylene plastic. so each Soot roll weighs 53,percent less than traditional +drain link fencing. The light bulk of VEXAR means easier handling, less strain on hardware supports. Aluminum or steel posts may be. used. 3. ABSOLUTELY MAINTENANCE—FREE. VEXAR is not your garden variety fencing material. VEXAR won't fade or darken. Because it's all -plastic it can't rust. It has no outer coating to crack or peel; no finish to corrode or require repainting. 4. WEATHER RESISTANT. It won't become brittle or soften from tem- perature extremes. VEXAR stays new - looking.
