Default Need help finding fence replacement

Need to replace the metal fence that borders the preserves. TV Will Not or Can Not give us any idea on Who or Where to find the fence, or Who installed them. Any one have any idea where to find the Fence?

Thanks in advance, this is so frustrating

Isn't that The Villages responsibility? They don't require people repair the wooden fences or do they?

Note sure who you contacted, call property management and get the correct info, and double check your documents when you bought the house, if the fence is your responsibility, it should be stated there. There is a large company (Fence Outlet??) that may be able to match the fence and install. You might also contact the CDD where you live and see who is responsible for the fence.

Property Management is a District Dept. What they need is the Villages Warranty Dept.

Property mgmt should have info they were involved in the construction.
From District Property Management web site....

Who is responsible to repair the fence and/or wall on our property?
Your Declaration of Restrictions stipulates who is responsible for maintaining the wall or fence
on your property.
You can download them here: Declaration Of Restrictions
If you are still unsure, please call District Property Management (352)752-4022

So as I posted we are responsible for the damage of the fence and repair, of a tree not on our property fell on it. At least this metal fence is still being used on view CYV and wall view lots.

The Problem is TV property management WILL NOT tell me any information on:

What company installed
Who to contact for replacement
Or
Who makes the fence.

When I asked over phone and in person “we are not allowed to give any references or the company that Installed.”You need to do your own research.

So my hope is someone in the new area will notice the company installing this fence.
Other wise I will be spinning wheels finding a company.

Example, you a home that has that vinyl fence, and it’s discontinued, say the brown color. You must find you same fence somewhere, or find a company to paint the fence to match the exact color.
There is a neighborhood that has this problem right now. Brown vinyl discontinued. Fence the length of over 20 houses.

I'll reiterate what I stated earlier, be very careful where you buy in The Villages. You can be on the hook for many things.

Probably going to have measure and find replacement panels. Also determine if aluminum or steal?

One would hope, but NO, I have spoken to two different TV property management in house, and two different people who have come to the site. I was given the color Bronze, and that’s it. I have researched every Fence Company within 50 miles. Nothing close.

Ya know if it’s still being installed it’s available, I just need to ferret out the company that is installing, or making the fence to purchase.

On a worse experience friend and their neighbors have that not so lovely Brown vinyl fence, that the wind blew over in multiple homes, it’s discontinued, and they are Not allowed to replace with white, but must paint if needed. Their fence is about 10 years old. That’s really going to be a problem, painting a vinyl fence

It’s our 4th house in TV. Fence replacement was your responsibility in 2010, so nothing has changed, in 14 years, except in 2010-2014 you were given the name of a company to get a replacement and install. So easy phone call. Now hearding cats would be easier

Since you have had no luck dealing with the Villages representatives so far, let them know that you will be replacing this with some (insert ugly vinyl) fence of your choice, and if they have any concerns they can discuss with your lawyer. OK I am being a smart A$$, my point is you need to get their attention. You could also go to the design center and make enough noise that they actually will pay attention. IMHO, I would put up rope between the broken pieces, and when someone complains, send THEM to the villages representative. This is absolutely ridiculous.
Now that I have vented, contact your local CDD representative, and explain your situation that you need this information the get MATCHING fencing, they should be able to help.

Actually my warped sense of humor went farther than you. Because there is a 10 foot drop, tomorrow going to use all my rope tying skills.
I just got a PM from someone across their pond, that fences are being installed this week. Going to give me a heads up on arrival. Then I will hopefully get some answers from the box, or guys might give me a name.
