Some people worry that a vinyl fence won't stand up in the weather, particularly the wind, since it is so light. One of the reasons vinyl is a better choice than wood is that vinyl does withstand weathering so much better.
A pile of snow leaning against the bottom of the post won't cause it to rot, and the color should not fade from the sun. As for the wind, the posts are steel reinforced and cemented into the ground; any wind that will rip up this fence will rip up any other kind, as well.
A final reason some people choose wood over vinyl is that they want to use material that won't damage the environment. Wood is natural and degrades over time.
Vinyl, on the other hand, takes a bit longer to degrade. The vinyl used in the fence, however, is made of recycled material.
The bottom line is that a good fence is a free investment. Vinyl is the product of choice for many homeowners today because of its look and durability.
The extra cost put out for a vinyl fence will be made up through the years without having to paint, stain or repair it as well as being a selling point. Curb appeal is important, and vinyl fences are appealing. Vinyl fence is the choice to make.
