About Tahoe Slipfence

SLIPFENCE was specifically designed and developed by Canadian Entrepreneur Tom Rosicki back in 2013, as a solution to the pain points, drawbacks and failures of all-wood residential fencing.

While rebuilding his own residential fence back in 2009 Tom said to his neighbour, “there has got to be a better way to build a fence than to keep rebuilding it every 8 years”. The neighbour agreed, and it was at this moment that the concepts, drawings, and iterations of a new and better fencing system began.

After studying the residential fencing market in Canada and the USA, over the following 3 years, Tom discovered that all wood residential fences stay level and plumb only for about 2-3 years and then begin their journey to start to warp, twist and rot over the following 5-9 years until they are a neighbourhood eyesore or simply fall over. They also found that the critical component of any fence staying true and plumb over a long period of time is the fenceposts. Chain-link fences stay true and plumb sometimes for decades because the posts are metal and not subject to warp, twist or rot when set into the earth. However, Steel posts do over time tend to rust where the post meets the ground.

This is where the Slipfence concept was born. Tom’s Mission Statement was that: “If we can create a warm and private wood-style fence, but with the strength and endurance of an aluminum fence and if we make it simple to install, we could save homeowners a lot of time and money over the life of their house replacing their fences.

After numerous iterations, modifications, and test fences installed, the Team finally had a product to take to market call Slipfence. Why Slipfence? Because essentially with this new system a fence installer or homeowner simply sets the aluminum fence posts as you would any fence post, installs the aluminum framework onto the posts and literally slips either wood fence pickets, deck boards, 2 x 6 boards, composite boards, or vinyl boards right into the aluminum system creating a warm and private fence with the strength and endurance of aluminum. And because the boards are easily slipped in, if one is damaged, cracked, broken or rotted over the years, you simply slip the old boards out and new ones in for a brand-new looking fence again. But the aluminum posts and framework stay for good. This can be done over and over by any homeowner without the need for a professional to re-install fence posts again.

Slipfence has the look and feel of a warm, natural, wooden fence, but the framework including posts, stringers, channels, and rails are all constructed of 100% powder coated aluminum providing a fence that not only lasts a lifetime, but also stays true and plumb for the life of the fence. All the fastening hardware used to fasten channels to posts or boards to channels are all stainless steel so will never rust.

Slipfence was designed by a regular homeowner just like you who wanted to Build a Better Fence. The system was engineered by a top USA Engineering firm to provide years of safety and stability.

One of the critical criteria when designing the Slipfence was simplicity of installation so homeowners can install it themselves, or installers can construct it quickly and efficiently. We do however recommend having the posts set by a professional to ensure security of the posts into concrete. The rest is simple to install.

Nearly all the components of the Slipfence were not only designed and engineered here in North America by a Canadian, but also made in North America.

Aluminum is a natural resource of North America and as such, it keeps the revenue sharing here at home.

Slipfence being constructed from 100% Aluminum is recyclable and sustainable. The aluminum posts, stringers, channels, rails, and brackets if damaged, can be removed from the fence recycled, re-melted down to its raw form and potentially re-formed and re-used. We guarantee the stability and endurance of your Tahoe Slipfence for a period of 25 years, (please read Warranty information on website).
