Fencing & Decking

Since modern PVC is quite strong, the likelihood that your vinyl fence will need to be repaired is pretty low; however, a quick search of online forums shows that some homeowners do run into issues. A common experience is that of damaging a vinyl fence with a lawnmower or other tool, so be careful while working around your vinyl fence.
Additionally, baseballs and other projectiles may damage low-quality PVC. To avoid this issue, select a high-grade PVC manufacturer. (For more information, see the tips for finding strong PVC in the checklist at the end of this chapter.)
If you do find holes in your vinyl fence, your first response should be to check your warranty. The manufacturer may replace parts, which are often covered by a lifetime warranty. If your warranty does not cover such damage, you can repair the fence yourself by replacing the broken parts.
