Vinyl Fences

Vinyl fences offer outstanding benefits. First and foremost, they are virtually maintenance free. They do not rot, fade, or rust and will save you money by eliminating your need for fence repair or replacement. Vinyl fencing is typically more expensive than wood, but it makes up for it by limiting your costs on repairs and maintenance.

Vinyl comes in a wide range of quality and styles. For a better quality, look for vinyl with higher amounts of titanium dioxide (TiO2) UV inhibitors and acrylic impact modifiers. As far as styles go, typically vinyl fences resemble the traditional wood fence or wrought iron designs for which they are substitutes. Also, you can choose between several colors and design accents to enhance your landscape.

In addition, vinyl fences do not split and will never need to be repainted. The color on vinyl goes all the way through the material. The only maintenance that is required is a simple spray down once in awhile, one in which is usually taken care of by Mother Nature.
