PVC Vs. Wood. Which is Effective??

I've had it with my wood fence! Painting it is a huge investment of time. Besides, the paint only seems to last a few years or so.
Sound familiar? The chart below is just a preview of the cost of materials. It does not include your time. With our vinyl products, not only do you save on the cost of materials over time, but you also save a great amount of time - time that can be spent doing those things that you enjoy.




Homeowners' associations are quickly discovering the benefits of investing in vinyl fencing. The proven reliability and lasting performance of a quality vinyl fence makes it the superior choice for the long-term needs of your community.
• Vinyl fencing saves you money by eliminating your association's fence repair / replacement budget.
• Vinyl Fencing adds lasting beauty and privacy to your entire community and individual homes.
• Vinyl Fencing provides a safe and secure barrier for pools, spas and restricted areas.



How strong is vinyl fence?
It has five times the tensile strength of wood and four times the flexibility. It flexes under load making it strong enough to safely hold cattle and horses. Our manufacturers use impact modifiers to make our fence strong and forgiving for horses and riders as well as other farm animals.
How does vinyl fencing compare to wood?
It is stronger, lasts much longer, safer, looks better, and costs much less over time. It can cost the same as or more than wood initially depending local wood prices, type of wood and style of fence or deck but over its life it is about one third of the cost.
Is Vinyl Installation Similar to Wood?
Installation of a vinyl fence is similar to wood. The vinyl fence posts go in the ground 30 inches and are set in concrete. The major difference is that some of the styles use concrete and re-bar inside the posts for additional strength. Galvanized steel inserts are also used in some styles for structural support. The most popular applications with HOAs are privacy fencing, decking, railing and patio covers. Vinyl isn’t affected by sprinklers or swimming pool chemicals so swimming pool fencing is also quite popular.
