Picture your home basking in the warm glow of a sunset, its silhouette enhanced by the impressive lines and enduring beauty of a vinyl fence. Imagine the peace of mind knowing it will stand strong against the elements, year after year.
Vinyl fencing, crafted from resilient and versatile polyvinyl chloride (PVC), offers a wealth of options to perfectly complement your unique vision. With a vibrant array of colors, sizes, and styles to choose from, you’re sure to find the perfect match for your home’s aesthetic.
And the benefits extend far beyond aesthetics. Unlike traditional materials, vinyl is inherently safe, boasting a child- and pet-friendly design that won’t chip or splinter. Additionally, its eco-friendly composition, crafted from sustainable and recyclable materials, allows you to minimize your environmental impact without sacrificing quality.
Ready to unlock the potential of your home’s exterior? Explore the world of vinyl fencing and discover the perfect solution for your needs. While Big Easy Fences offers expert installation and top-notch service, remember, vinyl fencing elevates any home, regardless of who installs it.
Just like any other fencing material, there are features you should consider to maximize the benefits you will get from installing a vinyl fence. From determining what your purpose of building your vinyl fence is to how you would install it, will serve as your road map to your satisfaction.
Why do you need to install a Vinyl Fence? Are you aiming for privacy or beauty or both? Knowing your purpose will help you know which design perfectly fits. Install a vinyl fence that has no gaps in between if you aim for privacy.
Choose a vinyl fence that is suitable for the layout in your yard. There are three primary types of vinyl fence you can choose from considering your yard layout.
A permanent type comes with a pipe and would need a deeper dig. This is recommended in areas that are windy and prone to tornadoes. Most of the vinyl fences are semi-permanent and do not need a deeper dig.
Choose a style that will conform to the layout of your yard and the design of your house. Post or rail vinyl fences are recommended for a large property because it creates boundaries without blocking the view of the home.
For aesthetic purposes, caps are available in various styles. Solar caps that absorb sunlight and work well with light bulbs are recommended for efficiency. If you opt for more lighting, you can choose LED solar caps.
There are vinyl-coated products which are much cheaper than the all-vinyl types or professional grade vinyl. Choose high-grade vinyl products made with virgin vinyl, UV inhibitors, and impact modifiers that make them weather-resistant and long-lasting.
Vinyl fences are usually tested for wind and changeable weather conditions. Areas prone to hurricanes may require a permanent vinyl fence that comes with a pipe. Choose a vinyl fence that is resistant to adverse weather conditions like cracking and chipping.
As you choose the design and match it with your purpose, you can very well estimate how much you have to spend on your vinyl fence. The area to be covered will also be a factor in the length of the vinyl fence you will have to build. Prices vary per state, but the average total cost which includes materials, post concrete installation, labor costs, supplies, and unforeseen material needs is $98 to $144 per linear foot. The national average cost of a vinyl fence is $3,594, but considering the cost of Low End to High-End Vinyl fences, it would cost $950-$7,800.
Permanent vinyl fences come with a lifetime warranty, which depends on the brand and the manufacturer. Always select a vinyl fence that comes with a warranty.
Both permanent and semi-permanent vinyl fences are easy to install. DIY methods often accompany the vinyl fence that you purchase.
The most popular vinyl fence in the industry typically comes in either 6’ or 8’ panels. Your needs will greatly determine which one is best.
If privacy is your priority, choose this type with its pickets placed next to each other. Since you will need more pickets, this will cost higher than the average vinyl picket fence. This style can be accentuated with decorative styled tops like:
Pickets are placed on top of each other or with only small gaps in between them, which allows airflow. This design provides a balance between privacy and unobstructed views.
This is one of the most popular designs. This regular design can be created in different ways with varying spaces. It can be customized to your look or feel. The pickets can be designed to look stepped, scalloped, arched, with reduced spacing, framed, staggered, and many more.
This design perfectly fits farms, ranches, and larger estates. It is also termed as “agricultural fencing”. The Rail design is for containing larger animals or pets while also allowing for views in the property.
Choosing a fence is a significant decision, impacting your property’s aesthetics, security, and long-term value. While the initial cost of vinyl fencing might seem higher compared to other options, several compelling factors make it a smart investment in the long run.
While the initial cost of vinyl fencing might be higher upfront, its minimal maintenance requirements, exceptional durability, and potential to enhance your property’s value make it a strategic investment that pays off over time. Consider these factors when making your decision, and you might find that vinyl fencing offers the perfect blend of aesthetics, functionality, and long-term value for your property.
