Vinyl Fencing: Pros & Cons
By ProMatcher Staff
Installing a Vinyl Fence
Vinyl fencing is durable and versatile. It comes in a variety of different colors, styles, and textures. From a distance, some vinyl fences appear to look like traditional wood fences. If you are looking for a classic white picket fence without the maintenance, a vinyl fence may be the right choice for you.
The Good:
- Strong and durable
- Minimal maintenance (no painting or staining)
- Wide selection of styles and colors
- Can replicate the look of wood
- Good weather resistance
- Lasts longer than wood or aluminum fencing
- Will not warp, rust, or rot
- No insect damage
- No splinters
The Bad:
- More expensive than wood
- Cannot fully replicate the natural look of wood
- Picket fences offer very little privacy or security
The Bottom Line:
A vinyl fence can last up to twice as long as a wood fence. Many manufacturers offer limited lifetime warranties. Although the initial cost may seem high, the extended life of the fence (in addition to the very low maintenance costs) will likely make it worth your investment. Vinyl fencing is both safe and strong, and it can be designed to match the look of your home.
