The phenomenon known as the Purple Paint Law is rapidly spreading across various states turning what was once a localized tradition into a powerful legal standard. For decades property owners relied on traditional metal or plastic No Trespassing signs to protect their boundaries. These signs while effective in theory were often plagued by practical issues.
They were frequently stolen by vandals shot at for target practice or simply worn down by the unrelenting forces of wind rain and sun. A landowner might spend hundreds of dollars posting their property only to find that within a few months the signs had vanished or become unreadable leaving their land vulnerable to unwanted intruders. The purple fence was born out of a need for a permanent weather resistant and cost effective solution to the age old problem of property protection.
