Why PVC Is The Ideal Fence Material

14 November 2017 by Norman Beck

When it comes to fencing, you really need to think about the material. Whether you are building a small decorative fence for a home or a large security fence for your commercial property, choosing the right material is paramount. Some materials are very easy to keep up, while others need constant TLC if they are going to last a long time. Some people mistakenly think that practical and long-lasting materials, like PVC, are not good looking. But, this article explains not only why PVC is a stylish fencing material, but also why it is perfectly designed for fencing construction.

PVC is Light But Strong

First of all, PVC is strong but not too heavy. This is exactly what fences need to be if they are to stand up to the elements. The lightness of PVC is one of the reasons it is so affordable. It is also one of the main reasons that PVC is a top material choice for DIYers. If you want to build you own fence on your commercial property, PVC is a suitable material because there are many modular styles. These a designed for easy assembly, where minimal power tools and difficult construction are needed.

PVC is Water and Weather Resistant

PVC is a very weather- and water-resistant material. In fact, many of the pipes around your home are probably made out of some form of PVC. This is a material that water will not affect. It won't deteriorate the finish or even cause the colors to fade. A fence is going to get wet almost everyday, especially if it is near the sprinklers. So, you will appreciate having a material like PVC rather than a material like wood, which need to be treated with oil to shield against moisture.

But, Is PVC Stylish?

Many buyers are actually surprised how stylish PVC is. Not only that, but they are surprised that there are so many styles to select from. Most PVC products are one-tone with a rich, fade-resistant color. The more expensive PVC fences are printed with a finish that is then laminated. This printed finish is more authentic looking than you might imagine. For instance, the texture of the PVC even lines up with the fake wood grains in the print. The result is a product that looks quite like the real thing.

PVC is a material that is perfectly designed for use on commercial fencing. Talk to a fence company like Associated Fence to learn more.
