Vinyl Privacy Fences, the Durable Solution

Privacy fences have traditionally been built from wood, but modern homeowners have the advantage of using vinyl for their privacy and other fencing needs. Vinyl is an ideal material for fencing because it is durable and low-maintenance.

 

Vinyl fencing keeps its color, which means no more whitewashing parties. Since the color is embedded within the plastic material, the fence will not peel or fade. A few dark shades may fade slightly, but the color loss is imperceptible compared to the peeling ragged paint frequently found on wood fences.

 

There is virtually no maintenance of a vinyl privacy fence. Aside from occasional washing, the fence won’t need any other repair. The fence can be cleaned using ordinary household cleaning products. Because the material itself holds the coloring, a vinyl fence can be pressure washed.

 

Vinyl fencing is extremely durable and is five times stronger than wood. This means the fence is less likely to be damaged. Because vinyl is flexible, the fencing is unlikely to be blown over or harmed by strong winds or flying debris.

 

Unlike wood which deteriorates over time, or iron which can rust and need repainting, vinyl doesn’t age. With its durability and longevity, the vinyl privacy fence should last for the lifetime of the home. Installing a vinyl fence is one home improvement that is one and done. Once the fence is up, the homeowner knows that they can cross the fence off their home maintenance list.

 

Vinyl privacy fencing is available in a variety of attractive colors and styles. Most colors are lighter shades, since dark tones are more susceptible to a little fading. From solid panels to picket styles, there is sure to be a cost-effective vinyl privacy fence to suit every home’s style.
