Vinyl Fencing Prices Compared to Other Materials

Vinyl fencing is a great alternative to wood fencing. Although it is more complicated to install; it lasts longer, doesn't require painting, and often comes with a warranty. The first versions of vinyl fences were poorly made and didn't last very long when out in the elements. The newer versions are made through a process called co-extrusion. This process slows the breakdown process on the plastic, as well as offers UV protection. Because of this complicated process the prices will often be double what wooden fencing prices are, but again, there are benefits which make the cost worth it.

It is possible to get vinyl fencing that looks remarkably like wood. It also is available in faux wrought iron. Vinyl fences come in picket, privacy, and cross buck styles. There are as many options in vinyl fencing as there are in all the other fencing options combined.

Vinyl fencing prices are expensive, but there is also virtually no maintenance required once it is installed. Since a fence has to be painted every two to three years a vinyl fence will actually pay for itself within a couple of years. Installation for vinyl is more complicated than other types of fencing. Posts and fencing must be placed accurately, there is little to no room for error. Weather also needs to be taken into consideration with vinyl fencing. Installation should happen on a relatively mild weather day since heat will cause expansion; and after time your vinyl can warp or sag if it is not installed correctly.

In terms of vinyl fencing, all warranties are not created equal. Before you make a final decision, make sure that your fencing has a good warranty. Not all of them are lifetime. Not all of them are transferrable. Make sure that you know the details of your warranty before making a purchase. Sometimes it is worth paying a little more for a great warranty.
