Vinyl Fencing
Vinyl is quickly becoming one of the most popular fence types on the market. Its strength, durability and ease of maintenance make it a fantastic fence choice for almost any application. Here are a few of the advantages of vinyl fencing.
Strong and flexible
Vinyl fences are about five times as strong as similar wood fences,
and about four times as flexible. This makes them great for protecting
your pool, keeping pets contained or as a general-purpose backyard fence.
Be wary that cheaper vinyl fencing can become brittle when exposed to
extremes of heat and cold over an extended time. Paying a little bit
extra for higher-quality, sun-resistant vinyl will ensure your fence
stays in top condition forever.

Zero maintenance
Once it's installed, a vinyl fence requires almost no maintenance. It doesn't need to be painted, and will never crack, chip, peel or rot.
Under normal circumstances, the only upkeep needed to keep your fence looking brand new is an annual wash with soap and water. Any tough stains can be scrubbed off with steel wool and baking soda.
Graffiti-proof
Vinyl fencing is virtually graffiti-proof. Any unwanted paint-jobs can usually be scrubbed off with minimal effort.
A wise investment
While vinyl fencing has a slightly higher initial cost than other fence types, you will save money in the long run. The reduced cost of painting, repairs and maintenance means that a vinyl fence will end up costing about 1/3 of a similar wood fence over its lifetime.
A fence for life
Most vinyl fence products come with a lifetime guarantee. If you want your next fence to be the last one you'll ever buy, take a look at vinyl fencing.
