subject: 3 Main Uses For Vinyl Fencing [print this page] Vinyl fencing is a popular solution for a number of different applications worldwide, and is a very cost effective, lightweight, and easy to install type of fencing. This makes it perfect for use in agricultural, boundary marking, and landscaping work.
Here, we'll take a look at some of the different pros and cons of using vinyl fencing in a given area, the areas in which it is used most appropriately, as well as some general information about the maintenance of vinyl fencing.
Vinyl fencing is used most often in agriculture, because it provides a cheap, easily installed, and durable solution for marking where the ends of parcels of lands and desired areas within properties are. It can also be used to contain small to medium sized livestock, and when reinforced with steel cable can even be used for larger livestock pens.
It is perfect for being used in areas with more intense weathering conditions, because it is very resistant to damage from sun, wind, and rain. It will never corrode, and will never lose its color to bleaching, because the color is digitally integrated into the material itself.
Vinyl fencing tends to be fairly flimsy on its own, however, and can be damaged relatively easily, especially if the damage is intentional. It is resistant to general force, such as pushing and pulling, because it is a little flexible. It can be cut or burned with ease, though, making it less than ideal for security applications.
Vinyl fencing is also frequently used in landscaping because it is great for marking boundaries of future gardens and other smaller areas. It is also a great temporary solution for an area where a future fence of iron or wood will be installed, and will keep animals and most casual bystanders out of the enclosed area.
Vinyl fencing is best used in areas where it will not be subjected to tampering or damage from humans, but can be safely used around most animals and in areas where it is subject to weathering. This makes it ideal for agricultural applications because human interference in rural areas is generally kept to a minimum, or for private landscaping projects (such as in one's backyard) where the vinyl fencing will be left alone.
It is a cheap, effective, and easy solution to marking off boundaries, enclosing small spaces and protecting them from animals, or keeping small to medium sized animals in a given location.
