Fencing & Decking

When it comes to fencing materials, vinyl is the newest kid on the block—and a popular new kid it is. Because vinyl fences are made of PVC plastic, they’re not affected by the weather, they’re hard to scratch, and they do not fade in sunlight. If they are tightly built, warping and other structural issues are nonexistent, as are insect infestations. So if you’re looking for a low-maintenance fence, vinyl is the way to go.

Vinyl is also easy to clean. A simple wipe-down with a soapy sponge or a well-aimed shot from a hose usually does the trick. Another advantage of vinyl fencing is that it is lightweight and easy to handle. Many manufacturers now offer vinyl kits that may be assembled with little more than a level and a drill. Alternatively, if you plan to hire a contractor, your installation costs will be quite low with a vinyl fence

One of the disadvantages of vinyl fencing is the higher initial material cost. However, this is one of those cases in which a larger up-front investment translates into savings over the long term. Reputable manufacturers offer lifetime warranties on all parts, so once your fence is up, you’ll be set.
