We’re excited to announce our new partnership with Tryon Equestrian Center, the East Coast’s premier destination for equestrian events. We’ve collaborated with the venue to bring our superior steel board fencing to both Tryon Stadium and Derby Field—and we’re downright excited to share the final product.
This collaboration is a big deal for us here at Buckley Fence. Tryon Equestrian Center hosts some of the most prestigious equestrian events, drawing in top competitors and passionate spectators from all over the country.
Our fencing solution was the perfect match for their high standards and dedication to excellence. The new installations don’t just look good—they also offer a safer, more durable, and low-maintenance environment for both horses and visitors.
Anyone who’s had to deal with traditional wood and vinyl fences knows they’re high-maintenance and can be a real headache. Our steel board fencing, on the other hand, is built tough to withstand the elements and is virtually maintenance-free. This means Tryon Equestrian Center can spend more time doing what they love—hosting outstanding events and caring for their animals—while we take care of the fencing.
Below, we’ll walk you through why Tryon Equestrian Center picked our fences, the specific improvements made to their facilities, and all the benefits our fencing solutions provide.
The Improvements to Tryon Stadium and Derby Field
Here’s a closer look at the specific details of our installations and how they’re making a difference.
Tryon Stadium: As the heart of Tryon Equestrian Center, Tryon Stadium now features our premium steel board fencing. This state-of-the-art fencing encircles the main competition arena, providing a sleek, modern look that complements the high-caliber events hosted here. The installation process was smooth and efficient, and the simple nature of our installs meant minimal disruption to the Center’s busy schedule.
Derby Field: Derby Field now boasts our durable steel board fencing along its perimeter. This upgrade improves the area’s safety and security, guaranteeing that horses and riders can perform at their best. Our fencing’s design blends with the field’s natural beauty to maintain the peaceful, welcoming atmosphere that visitors love.
And here’s how the new fencing improves the facilities:
- Aesthetics: The sleek lines and modern design upgrade the visual appeal of the entire facility to create a more professional and inviting environment for events and daily activities.
- Durability and Safety: Steel is built to withstand the rigors of the elements. Our fencing promises long-lasting performance without constant upkeep. This durability translates to better safety for horses and riders with fewer accidents and injuries from worn-out, traditional fencing.
- Maintenance: Unlike wood and vinyl fences that require regular repairs and replacements, our fencing stands strong in all weather conditions. This means Tryon Equestrian Center’s team can focus more on their core activities—caring for their horses and hosting top-tier events—without worrying about the state of their fences.
- Horse-Friendly Design: Our fencing is designed with horses’ well-being in mind. The smooth steel boards prevent splinters and injuries, while the sturdy construction keeps the fences intact (even with spirited horses in the arena).
Challenges of Traditional Fencing
Traditional fencing options like wood and vinyl just don’t cut it when maintaining a premier equestrian facility like Tryon Equestrian Center. Sure, they can look nice at installation (and aren’t as expensive), but they lack the durability, safety, and low-maintenance promises of a steel board fence.
Issues with Wood and Vinyl Fences:
- Frequent Maintenance: Wood and vinyl fences require regular maintenance to keep them looking good and functioning properly. Wood fences are particularly susceptible to rot, warping, and splintering, especially in areas with high humidity or significant weather fluctuations. Vinyl fences, while more resistant to weathering, can still crack and become brittle over time, especially under constant exposure to the sun.
- Weather Damage: Traditional fencing materials don’t hold up well under severe weather conditions. Wood can absorb moisture, leading to rot and decay, while vinyl can become brittle and crack in cold weather. These issues mean frequent repairs and replacements (which can be time-consuming and costly).
- Aesthetic Deterioration: Wood and vinyl fences can lose their aesthetic appeal over time. Wood fences may need regular staining or painting to maintain their appearance, while vinyl fences can discolor and show signs of wear. This deterioration affects the facility’s visual appeal and overall impression on visitors and competitors.
- Safety Concerns: Damaged or deteriorating fences pose a serious safety risk to horses and riders. Splintered wood can cause injuries, and broken vinyl can create sharp edges. Guaranteeing the safety of horses and riders requires constant upkeep and prompt repairs, adding to the maintenance burden.
Why Tryon Equestrian Center Chose Buckley Fence
Given the challenges outlined above, equestrian facilities like Tryon Equestrian Center need a fencing solution that offers durability, low maintenance, and long-lasting performance.
Here’s why our steel board fencing is the perfect answer:
- Unmatched Durability: Our steel board fencing is designed to withstand the harshest conditions. Unlike wood and vinyl, steel doesn’t rot, warp, or crack. It stands firm against wind, rain, snow, and sun for a long lifespan without frequent repairs or replacements.
- Minimal Maintenance: One of the most significant advantages of our steel board fencing is its low maintenance requirements. There’s no need for regular painting, staining, or repairs—the steel construction remains intact and visually appealing with minimal upkeep.
- Consistent Aesthetic Appeal: Our steel board fencing maintains its sleek, polished appearance year after year. It resists fading and discoloration to help the facility always look its best. This consistent aesthetic appeal creates a professional and inviting environment for events and everyday use.
