Vinyl fencing is available in a variety of styles. These fences are much easier to take care of as opposed to their wood counterparts. Manufacturers create vinyl fencing from durable, recycled plastics. High quality vinyl can stand up to harsh weather and they can block ultraviolet rays, meaning they don't incur damage from the sun. There are many different kinds of vinyl fencing, such as:
* Tongue-and-Groove Privacy Panels
* Textured
* Shadowbox
* Picket
* Chain-Link.
Tongue-and-Groove Vinyl Privacy Panels
Tongue-and-groove vinyl fencing panels are extremely popular with residential buyers. These fences are ideal at providing privacy. Many people prefer to use them as swimming pool enclosures. These fences consist of a tongue-and-groove interlocking system for easy assembly. The majority of vinyl panels measure from 4-6 feet in height and the panels will measure up to eight feet in width. Consumers have a wide range of colors from which to choose and the design choices are also numerous. Some of the most popular designs include:
* Woven Lattice
* Vertical
* Horizontal
* Crisscross.
Textured and Shadowbox Vinyl Fences
For people who want a realistic look for their fences, textured vinyl fencing fits the bill nicely. This type of fencing comes in wood-grain patterns, granite textures and stone textures. These fences also feature different accents and designs depending on the manufacturer. For semi-privacy, buyers can install fences that overlap in horizontal and wavy patterns. However, it is possible to glance through these fences, especially ones with lattice fencing attached to the top.
There are also shadowbox fences that are made from vinyl. These fences are relatively high at six feet; therefore, they provide the owner with plenty of privacy. Because shadowbox fences are more open, they tend to be more attractive than other types of standard vinyl fencing.
Picket Vinyl Fences
People who like the traditional look of picket fences, but do not like the maintenance work of wood, should look at picket vinyl fencing. This type of fence is ideal for created marked boundaries; however, they do not provide much privacy because they tend to be shorter in height. Usually, picket vinyl fences are not sold any higher than four feet.
Chain-Link Vinyl Fences
Chain-link vinyl fencing is starting to catch on with today's consumers. This type of fence is better suited for marking boundaries and cordoning off parts of a property instead of giving users privacy from neighbors. By using different colors and sizes, the buyer can customize the look of a chain-link vinyl fence. To really punch it up, decorative post cap can be installed and vinyl gates can be added. Some vinyl fence posts are made by either recycled or regular PVC.
Regardless of the vinyl fencing you choose, be sure it has all the pieces you need for assembly, such as:
* Screws
* Inserts
* Stainless Steel Fasteners.
And when purchasing the necessary supplies to install a vinyl fence, be sure to only buy products from a reputable manufacturer who offers some sort of no-risk guarantee. The industry standard for vinyl fence warranties is at least 20 years of coverage.
