Eco Building Products launches Eco D-Fence
Eco Building Products, Inc. has officially received its first order for Eco D-Fence, a new Advanced Framing Lumber solution for use on exterior wood fencing products.
Eco D-Fence uses Eco Red Shield technology with Stain Fire Break, and it also protects against mold, rot, termites and fire.
"This is an important milestone for the company in expanding its product line and aligning with major national distributors," said president and CEO Tom Comery. "We will use this first order to dial in the exact color desired by the client as well as the unique processes involved with the product. These refinements are minor and will not delay the follow-up orders, which are substantial."
Eco's Tacoma facility will be coating 1x6 cedar pickets and 2x4 rails with the product, with the first order to be coated the week of Nov. 30.
The initial order is expected to be followed by 173,000 board feet in December and 134,000 board feet in February.
"These initial orders for 1x6 cedar pickets and 2x4 rails are earmarked for the client's California and Pacific Northwest locations where fire raged for months this past year," Comery added, "however we are also in discussions with locations in the Mid-South which will be served by our Augusta facility. Wood fencing is a very large market and with the growing risk of fire in the west and concerns with mold, rot and termites in the South East, we expect Eco D-Fence to grow rapidly and become a primary product for us at all of our facilities."
