3 Reasons Vinyl Fencing May Be Right For Your Home

by Norman Beck

There are various types of residential fencing in today's market. While wood fencing remains a favorite, other options may work for your needs and that are easier to maintain. Vinyl fencing, in particular, has become more prevalent in recent years. Vinyl fencing is incredibly versatile and comes in various sizes, patterns, and colors. Vinyl is an excellent fit for any home. Here are three reasons why vinyl fencing may be right for your needs.

They Are Resistant

Vinyl is an incredibly durable material, making it a fantastic option for residential fencing. Vinyl holds up well to the elements and is not impacted by pests. Other types of fencing materials, such as wood and metal, require regular maintenance. Your vinyl fence simply needs to be washed off when dirty. No painting, staining, or other maintenance is required. If you live in an area with a lot of moisture or large temperature swings, vinyl will hold its shape without blistering or peeling. Vinyl also lasts much longer than many other types of fencing and will be around for decades with minimal maintenance.

They Are Cost-Effective

Vinyl fencing's longevity also makes it a cost-effective option. In terms of up-front costs, vinyl is usually less expensive than metal fencing but more costly than wooden fencing. However, since it will last for a very long time and requires little maintenance, vinyl is cost-effective over time. On average, vinyl fencing will cost between $19 and $35 per linear foot with professional installation. On the high end, you may pay up to $50 per linear foot. If you install your fencing yourself, you will see some savings.

They Work With Almost Any Home

Another reason why a vinyl fence may be right for your home is that it can match almost any style of home. Various styles of vinyl fence are available. It's an ideal material for homeowners who want the look of a wood or metal fence without the maintenance. Vinyl is also available in various fence styles, such as lattice, privacy, and picket. You can also easily find a color that suits the style of your home. Vinyl also offers plenty of opportunities for customization. 

If you are looking to add fencing to your property, vinyl may be the right material. Vinyl fencing is durable, resistant to the elements, and long-lasting. It's also a cost-effective option in that it lasts for a long time and requires little maintenance. Another benefit of vinyl is its versatility. It comes in various styles and colors.

About Me

Keeping Kitty Contained in a Fenced in Yard

I have loved cats ever since I was a child. My parents let our cat roam around the yard without a fence when I was a child, but when I adopted my first cat as an adult, I was much too afraid that she would run off to let her outside. After keeping her as an "indoor cat" for a few years, I decided to look into backyard fencing options that she might not be able to climb or jump over. I put a lot of research into those options, so I decided to start sharing what I learned on a blog to help other cat owners and anyone else who is looking for a fence for a specific need. I have been very lucky and my cat hasn't jumped over my fence at all and she now loves her fenced in back yard!
