subject: Pros And Cons For Going With Vinyl Fencing [print this page] Vinyl fences are a common tool in various areas, including agriculture, boundary marking, landscaping, and any job that requires a temporary yet durable type of fencing. Vinyl fences have a lot of benefits and very few drawbacks, and are not subject to the same type of damage that many other fencing materials are.
Here, we'll go over some general information about vinyl fences, including why they are used in the applications in which they are commonly seen, what sort of maintenance they require, and how they can be best used.
The reason vinyl fencing is most often seen around agricultural areas is because it is perfect for performing in dirty, hot conditions where it will see a lot of wear and tear. Vinyl fencing is very resistant to most weathering effects, and will not lose its color or be damaged by extended use in sun, rain, and wind. It is great for using around small to medium sized livestock, because it is a cheap material but is durable enough to hold most smaller animals. It can be reinforced with steel cable in order to accommodate larger animals as well.
Vinyl fencing is also used in landscaping as a temporary fixture, in order to mark boundaries where gardens or other small areas will be, and to serve as a fence until the ultimate fence is installed (usually a wood or iron fence, or a stone wall).
Vinyl fencing is difficult to damage because it is flexible and slightly elastic, and its light weight and low cost make it perfect for setting up over large areas or hauling to job sites. A relatively roll of vinyl fencing can usually be comfortably carried by a single person.
Vinyl fencing has virtually no maintenance, except for cleaning if desired. Although it can be damaged fairly easily if the damage is intentional, it does not frequently get harmed in this way because it is not much of a deterrent to people.
It is also cheap and easy to replace, but it is best used in places where it will not be interfered with. When used properly, vinyl fencing provides a cheap, easily maintained, and easily installed alternative to wood and chain link fencing. It comes in a variety of colors that are digitally integrated into the material itself, making them retain their brightness for a long period of time, without bleaching in the sun or requiring repainting.
