Top 4 Reasons Why Property Owners Choose Vinyl Fencing
by Kevin Smith AuthorThere is a large
variety of fencing materials available on the market, but vinyl fencing in St.
George is quickly becoming the most sought-after type of fencing for both
residential and commercial properties.
Durability
Vinyl fencing is
manufactured from a synthetic plastic resin called PVC, an acronym for
polyvinyl chloride. This material is weather-resistant in even the harshest of
conditions and holds up to wide fluctuations in temperature year round, as well
as wet and windy conditions. Unlike wood, vinyl is non-porous, so moisture
cannot seep in and cause it to degrade, and it won't warp or bend due to harsh
weather exposure. Some manufacturers claim that vinyl fencing is 5 times
stronger than a wood fence, and will last from 10 to 20 years before needing to
be replaced.
Maintenance-Free
Wood fencing,
depending on the type of wood, requires restaining or painting to maintain its
appearance and to protect it from the elements. Chances are, at some point,
those wooden panels or posts will require replacing to maintain the fence’s
structural integrity. Vinyl fencing requires no maintenance and no painting to keep
it beautiful. An occasional spray with the water hose will remove any dust or
dirt that has accumulated. No painting is required for vinyl fencing, because
the color was added during the material’s manufacturing process, and it won’t
peel, chip, or fade.
Customization Options
Vinyl fencing
offers a wide array of colors and textures to create the look you need to
enhance your property’s curb appeal. Vinyl fencing installation professionals
provide customization options for privacy, garden, decorative, and
security-type fencing, available in a variety of stains and finishes, as well
as post and panel choices. Additionally, the fencing company may also offer
vinyl landscaping enhancements such as gates, pergolas, gazebos, and awnings.
Pest-Resistant
Termites and
other pests love wooden fences. And because wood cellulose fibers are their
source of food, there is no real prevention for termites. They will burrow into
the wood and live there, feasting on your fence, and leaving behind a honeycomb
of hollow sections filled with moist soil. Rodents can chew through wooden
fences, or damage them severely requiring replacement. Vinyl does not attract
termite. In fact, its impermeable surface deters pests and is resistant to
external damage from pets and wildlife alike.
If you're
considering an installation of vinyl fencing in St. George, choose an established
and experienced company who can offer examples of their completed work.
