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.

Great. Take some photos of the box showing brand, part #, etc and post please.

When living in Texas we replaced our entire yard fencing. There were two parts of the job actually. We bought the fencing directly from Aluminum Fences Direct out of Raleigh, NC and they were great to work with. Then we brought in some general contractor to actually install it. Aluminum Fences has a large variety of fence styles and colors. Some that look exactly like your fence. You can by a panel or a yard full from them and tie right into what you have. There may be some more local suppliers that can be found on the Internet, but it may be worth looking at the job as two parts and you get the fence separately yourself then get a local general to replace it. Versus looking for a 'full service' turnkey supplier. Just a thought and hope this helps some.

Thanks in advance, this is so frustrating

Just google fence companies, it's a black aluminum fence, super easy to find.

No support from TV for these folks is unacceptable. Storm impacted live oak fell on their property from TV preserve. They build homes up against these areas, cash owners checks quickly, then fall silent when help is needed!

The Villages replaced a similar fence on Meggison that was damaged not long ago. It was not around any homes. Have no idea what hit the section. No trees near the cart path.

It’s Bronze, and no it’s not easy. There is a company out of GA that could be it. However it has to be the same manufacturer. Can’t replace with a likeness. Without manufacturer, model number. It’s NOT that easy. Sent pictures to 18 different sites, each came back with not ours, Bronze is not a color we use.

I thought that if a tree from your property falls on a neighbors fence, your insurance pays the damages. If I'm right, although I'm probably not, the tree fell from the preserve which is Villages property. Therefore, wouldn't their insurance cover it?
Otherwise, I would think any metal fence installer could find the same style somewhere. Worst case is a metal fabricator could take some measurements and fabricate a custom panel. That would cost a bit more for sure but it should match. Good luck.

Do best that you can. Only visible from your yard & the preserves. Document your attempts w/Villages. Sounds like too much hassle for whom you spoke with. Buy black & spray bronze?

[Johnsocat]

Did you try Google Lens to find the fencing?

OP, I see that you have tried a lot of fence suppliers, in case you missed 1 or 2, try a Google maps search using 'fence suppliers', if you zoom out there are lots of suppliers. Next take several pictures with a ruler or 2 the show the various dimensions of the existing fence, and a closeup that shows the color. With any luck you can send these to the various companies for a suitable replacement.

My final act of desperation would be to contact a lawyer and see if it would be possible to send a registered letter (or similar) to the developer indicating that their complete unwillingness to provide suitable information for a matching replacement will be taken as THEIR acceptance of you getting something SIMILAR, and any further replacement would be at their expense. While this may not be enforceable it just might get their attention.

Ultimately this will come down to your local ARC approving whatever fence you install. Having a record that you did the best you could with no help from The Villages might be important when they say you should have matched exactly. I do hope you have a written record, or recorded conversation of your failure to be informed of the original manufacturer/installer.

Perhaps a lovely archway or gate in that space which would differ from the original but be architecturally interesting might pass muster. I don't know if you can go to the ARC for ideas that might fly other than an exact match.

Since they will not provide a supplier (and actually I understand why they will not), try asking them to supply the specifications for the fence. Seems that they should be willing, and perhaps responsible, to give this info to ensure that the correct type of fence goes in.

[bobeaston]

Are there NO markings on any of that fence? Something stamped into the metal, maybe on the bottom rail? I find it odd that a manufacturer, even of commodities, doesn't mark their goods in some way.

The fence is actually aluminum. It appears to be 48" high two rail flat top panels. Any reputable fence company should be able to match your current panels and posts. BTW I owned a fence company for 8 yrs in NE Fla if you have any questions PM me.
