Has anyone here ever skipped the big-name stores and gone straight to a wpc fencing supplier? I’ve been checking prices and the retail markup seems ridiculous. A buddy of mine mentioned he bought some panels through a backchannel deal and saved a ton, but I’m not sure if that’s worth the risk. I know warranties can get messy if you don’t buy from the official distributors, but honestly I just want something that looks good and lasts a few years.

Anyone here tried the less official route with a wpc fencing supplier and actually come out ahead?
