Most often referred to as “vinyl” in the fencing world, PVC is a thermoplastic resin. PVC fencing was introduced to the consumer market in the 1980’s. It was seen as a cost-effective, longer-lasting alternative to wood fencing. In fact, according to the American Fence Association, PVC fences are five times stronger than wood fences, and their ability to bend instead of break make them ideal for homeowners where wind and weather are a concern. In addition, PVC fencing can be manufactured to mimic the look and texture of wood fencing for aesthetic purposes.

Durability

One of the biggest advantages to using PVC fencing is that, because it’s made of a plastic-based substance, it will not rot or warp with age. Because PVC contains ultraviolet inhibitors, it protects your fence against the sun’s rays. You no longer need to paint or stain your fence every year or two. Plus unlike metal fences, it doesn’t rot or warp.

Aesthetics

PVC fencing offers concealed fasteners, so nails are unnecessary. It also provides a seamless, secure transition between planks for a consistent look from panel to panel. Besides, PVC fencing comes with a huge variety of styles and textures, and looks range from wood to stone. It also comes in a large range of colors that will be easy to preserve as no painting or staining is necessary. Whatever your fencing needs, there is guaranteed to be an attractive vinyl option that will accent the beauty of your home.

Maintenance

PVC is easy to clean. The easiest way is to use a pressure washer to quickly and effectively remove mold or any other buildup and residue which may accumulate over time. This will make it look like new. Unlike wood, which cannot be pressure cleaned without damaging the outside layer, the plastic will not rot, deteriorate or become infected with termites or other insects. Water will not penetrate the surface at all like wood. And it does not rust. This makes PVC the best choice for decorative fences.
