What are the advantages to a PVC Fence?

PVC fences are some of the most durable, long lasting, and best looking fences available to homeowners today. With a reputation like this, it’s easy to understand why PVC fences are a homeowner’s favorite fencing material in South Florida. And this is especially for homeowners in South Florida, as they don’t need to worry about severe cold weather, which with time damages PVC fences that were not treated with impact modifiers, used to increase the PVC’s strength.
The only down-side to PVC fences seems to be the lack of colors to choose from (few suppliers offer more than white). But if you are looking for a classic elegant look, white is the way to go.
Another advantage of having a PVC fence installed in your property is that PVC fences are maintenance-free. Perhaps this is the most convincing aspect of this fencing material. Except for the initial installation of your PVC fence, you’ll never have to pay money for any fencing expenses ever again! PVC fencing never needs touching up, treating or painting. And since most PVC fencing sold today comes with a lifetime warranty, you can rest assured that it’s the last fence you’re ever going to buy.
Besides being maintenance free, PVC fences are also one of the toughest fences you can buy. They are up to five times stronger than wood, and four times as flexible. And since they are made of a solid PVC material that is the same color throughout, that means scratches, nicks, and other blemishes won’t show (or will need to be touched up) like other fencing materials.
As the PVC fence installations grow in South Florida, so have the uses for this durable fence material. What started out as an alternative to split rail agricultural fencing, has now become a viable alternative for farmers, ranchers, and homeowners alike. PVC fencing is available in picket, wrought iron style, privacy, and pool fencing, just to name a few of the more popular styles. In fact, if you’re interested in purchasing PVC fencing for your home, you’re virtually guaranteed to find a fence design out there that fits the bill.
