vinyl fencing
PVC is a contractor favorite because it is easy to work with and is resistant to biological and chemical breakdowns. When installing a vinyl fence, PVC is the only type of vinyl used; therefore it is usually called vinyl fencing
This plastic-based material made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is generally low-maintenance and won’t crack or splinter like wood can. Buyers tend to like that it doesn’t rot, have problems with insects, or ever need refinishing. Plus, it comes in several colors and styles, from short picket fences to tall privacy fences. It can even be textured for a wood-like appearance.
Vinyl fences come in many designs. You can get tall privacy fences with the slats close together to block sight lines. There are also various types of picket styles with slats that are more spaced out. You’re also able to add accents, such as lattice at the top of the fence, a scalloped top, or decorative post caps. There are even vinyl fences designed to look like ornamental iron fences with narrow, rounded slats that have pointed tops. Most people opt for a fence in the 4- to 6-foot range, though there generally are taller and shorter options available. Check for local restrictions before planning your project, as regulations surrounding residential fencing are common.
