    Material Safety

    Material Safety Data Sheet

    (MSDS) contain information on the potential hazards (health, fire, reactivity, and environmental) in a given product. They also provide instructions on how to work safely with products that have hazardous chemicals. The data sheet available for Trex wood-polymer products designate it as stable with no significant physical/chemical or environmental hazards. As with any material, when working with Trex, take similar precautions as one would take when building with wood. Sawdust can be an irritant if inhaled or if exposed to eyes. Wear proper protection and use appropriate construction practices. Note: Trex Fencing has the same properties as the Trex Accents decking line that is denoted in the MSDS.

    Acoustical Sound Rating

    Acoustical Testing (External)

    Trex Seclusions was submitted to a sound transmission loss test to evaluate acoustical properties. Intertek, the world’s largest testing agency, performed the evaluation. While a masonry wall is superior for this specific function, Trex Fencing is frequently used as a barrier because it provides a level of sound abatement needed for moderate reduction without the cost, construction limitations, and lack of appeal inherent in a concrete or block wall.

    International Code Council

    ICC-ES VAR Environmental Report (External)

    The International Code Council (ICC) is a non-profit association responsible for the development of model codes and standards that are used for the construction process. The ICC’s International Building Code defines standards for designing, building, and compliance of structures for such elements as safety and sustainability.  This report evaluates the content of Trex composites to provide information on the recycled content of the material. The report contains details on the eligibility of Trex recycled materials to the U.S. Green Building Council criteria for LEED point contribution. Learn more about Trex and LEED point contribution.

    Trex Fencing materials are manufactured in the United States. Currently, all fencing is produced at Trex’s plant in Fernley, NV.

    Fire Rating

    Trex Flame Spread Bulletin

    Flame spread (also called surface burning) testing evaluates the tendency for a material to burn rapidly and spread flames. In performance tests for these characteristics, Trex Fencing achieved a Class B rating, which makes it superior to most wood fencing.

    Wind Rating

    6ft High Wind Load Testing (External)

    8ft High Wind Load Testing (External)

    Trex Seclusions has been submitted to wind load tests to evaluate its performance in high winds. Intertek, the world’s largest testing agency, performed the evaluation. The fence was tested for sustained winds at 130 mph and 147 mph in gusts for 6′ tall fencing. It was tested for sustained winds at 100 mph and tested to product displacement at 116 mph gusts for 8′ tall fencing. Trex Fencing performed successfully. Engineering data for wind loads demonstrates that Trex Fencing will exceed the testing criteria.  For general assembly information and footer requirements for higher wind loads, see our Master Plan Sheets.
    NOTE: The performance of Trex Fencing in the wind test is strictly intended to demonstrate product capabilities. While a controlled wind load test is an excellent gauge for overall performance, wind in a real world environment has multiple variables that cannot be replicated in a test. Wind load capacity is therefore not a warranted function of the fence product. For more information on what is covered in the Trex and FDS warranties, visit Trex Warranty.

    Creep Test

    Creep Testing

    Creep testing is a process of evaluating how a material performs under stress. The purpose of the creep test for Trex Fencing was to determine the amount the fence material might change after being subjected to constant high temperature and an applied heavy load over a 90-day period. The temperature in the testing chamber was set to +/-125 degrees Fahrenheit for the duration of the test and a 100 pound weight was hung in the center of the suspended fence panel during the same period. The deflection of the material was measured vertically and laterally. The test results demonstrated virtually no deflection in the fence material.
