subject: PVC Fencing for Your Horse Enclosure [print this page] These problems are not experienced with PVC fencing. It's stronger and more durable than wooden fencing and will not split or splinter, even at wet times of year. Ongoing investment of time and money in investment and repair is not necessary with PVC fencing. PVC fencing reduces the risk of injury to horses because it does not have nails. Although PVC fencing is the most expensive type on the market, the initial investment is offset by the longer term savings such as long life, lack of maintenance and time saved on repair and installation.
