Vinyl / PVC Fences

Why Vinyl Fences Are Taking Over

Vinyl fences are becoming the smart choice for busy homeowners who want their fence to look good without constant work. You never have to paint, stain, or seal a vinyl fence. It will not rot, warp, or get eaten by termites. A quick spray with the hose once or twice a year is all the maintenance you need. That is a huge difference compared to wood fences that need attention every couple of years.

Here in Wilson, vinyl fences handle our weather like champs. They do not fade in the summer sun, and they do not swell or crack when it rains. Most quality vinyl fences come with lifetime warranties because they are built to last 30 years or more. The upfront cost is higher than wood, but you save money over time because there is almost zero maintenance. When our team installs your vinyl fence, we make sure every post is perfectly level and every panel locks in tight. A properly installed vinyl fence will not sag or lean like you see with cheaper installations.

Vinyl Fence Styles and Colors

Vinyl fences have come a long way from basic white picket fences. Today you can get vinyl that looks like wood grain, comes in different colors, and works for any style of home. Here are the most popular options:

• •Privacy panels in white, tan, or gray for complete seclusion
• •Semi-privacy with lattice tops that add style and airflow
• •Picket fences perfect for front yards and gardens
• •Ranch rail styles for an open, decorative look
• •Woodgrain textures that give you the wood look without the work

White is still the most popular color because it brightens up your yard and looks clean year after year. Tan and gray are great if you want something that hides dirt better or matches your home's exterior.

Vinyl vs Wood: Making the Right Choice

Both vinyl and wood fences have their place. Wood gives you that natural look and unlimited color options through stain or paint. Vinyl saves you time and hassle with zero maintenance. Wood costs less upfront but needs work every few years. Vinyl costs more initially but basically takes care of itself.

If you love working in your yard and do not mind spending a weekend every couple of years maintaining your fence, wood might be perfect. If you would rather set it and forget it, vinyl is your answer. Many of our Wilson customers choose vinyl for their backyard privacy fence and save wood for decorative front yard sections. We install both, so we can help you figure out what fits your lifestyle best. See wood fence options to compare, or check out aluminum fences for another low-maintenance choice.
