5 Minutes with Slat Warehouse on Demo Days

Episode Summary

In this short episode, Brian Frederiksen chats with Brian from Slat Warehouse about products, installation, and the company’s upcoming participation in Demo Days in Florida. The conversation opens with a recap of the Fence Show and Security Expo in Las Vegas, where the two last connected, and quickly shifts to slat product options that contractors use in the field. Slat Warehouse highlights its tube slats as the industry standard, available in multiple heights, colors, and order sizes for immediate shipping. The company also offers wing slats, called Solitude, and ridge slats, which are positioned as a more economical option. The discussion emphasizes the practical benefits of the ridge slat, including easier installation, lower cost, and compact shipping because the slats nest efficiently on pallets. The hosts also mention real-world durability in hot climates like Las Vegas. Looking ahead to Demo Days on March 26–27, the conversation focuses on making the event interactive, including a possible slat-installation contest and giveaways. The episode closes with event registration details and contact information for Slat Warehouse, reinforcing the company’s role as a reliable supplier for fence and gate contractors.

All right, we got Brian here with Slat Warehouse. How you doing, man? I am good. How are you, Brian? Good. I don't think we've seen you since uh the show. No, no, we have not. It was a great show, by the way. Thanks. Yeah. And the show we're talking about, everybody's listening was Defense Show and Security Expo in Las Vegas uh this last October. So, last month. So, it's uh Man, I swear just time just flew by since then. It feels like that was yesterday. I know. Holidays are right around the corner. I know. But hey, thanks for coming on. We do want to tell um everybody that uh you know, make an introduction, tell everybody you're going to be there at demo days, which we were super excited to have you guys sign up for the demo days uh in Florida. So, oh, look, you got slats falling. Someone's going to go install those. Looks like somebody somebody probably snuck those out. Those slats have just fell behind you and probably crawled them out from behind you, right? Well, you don't lean them up like that. So, I've got some of your slats behind me right now. Yeah. Yeah, you do. So, these are your tube slats. Tell me a little bit about these tube slats. I mean you we we use a lot of your products so uh we love these bottom lock slats. Tell me about these ones. Absolutely. And again thanks for having me on by the way. Um but uh yeah know the tube slot is the kind of the industry standard if you will. Uh everybody calls it bottom lock and we've got those in every height, every color uh every combination, every job lot size. I can ship them out immediately. Um but those are definitely the industry standard. Nice flat face panel. Um super, you know, pretty straightforward to install and slats in the background. Um, and that's not a real job unless you unless you've trip you're not really even in the fence business to tripped over a bag of slats yet, right? Exactly. Exactly. U, but yeah. No, that's that's one of our three profiles. The tube slat, and then we also have the wing slat, we call it solitude, and we have the riged slat. Uh, which is um kind of the uh we'll call it the budget slat, I guess, is maybe a good way to put it. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, the ridge ones, I've seen those before. And it's just kind of like one-sided, but it's got like a it's got like a wave to it, right? We've seen some It is. Absolutely. In fact, here I've got a couple samples here. If I can put them up in front of the camera, you can kind of see, but it has a Yep. uh kind of a riged kind of a Wshape Mshape to it. And uh these are actually easier to install. They're less expensive by the bag, and they are the cheapest to ship because they nest, and so they take up very little space on a pallet. Yeah. And don't underestimate those if you're listening because uh we've used those a bunch of times and we've never had any problems. No one's ever called and said, "Hey, these things are falling apart. They're breaking or anything like that." They hold up, you know, even out here in the height of the heat and the climates that we have in Las Vegas. Yeah. Same durability, but a great option if you haven't tried them before. Yeah, the slats we have behind us was an order for Las Vegas fence. Um, everybody that listening probably knows that, uh, you know, we I also we run a Las Vegas fence company. So, uh, a pallet of that those came in and I luckily snagged one. I think it was like the last one on the pallet. Must have been, you know, the order little 10% extra for a project. So, went in pretty quick. You know, love slats. But in um we were just talking a second ago off camera about possibly over at demo days uh you guys bringing in some slats and us timing some people opening a bag and putting them in. Yeah. Yeah. Well, since it's more of a hands-on approach type of an expo, that was where my brain was going. So, I think what I'm going to do is bring out some uh a bigger gate panel, maybe a 4 foot, 5 foot, whatever I can get it on a pallet and uh have a competition at the booth, see who can come by and put them in the fastest, and we'll give away free shipping or I'll come up with some really good prize for it. And yeah, make it fun.

Yeah. I'll tell you what, um whoever wins, whoever's the quickest at putting in them slats, they get to pull them out and keep them. That'll be uh and take them home with them on the plane. Exactly. Anybody Anybody that installs them gets to take them home. That's the prize. That's what you free of charge. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. So, we're we're jazzed about demo days uh coming up. It's coming up quick. It's only like a good four months away. March 26th to the 27th. So, you can still go to fencow.com.
