Vinyl fence and railing is fast becoming the most popular material on the market, and with good reason!
Not only is a good quality vinyl fence and railing system up to five times stronger and more durable than wood it’s also four times more flexible and virtually maintenance free. Because it is one color through and through it won’t fade and will never need to be painted. This makes vinyl fence and railing products ideal for just about any application including fence for you yard, railing for your porch or deck or keeping your livestock at bay.
However, buyer beware: Some companies are selling vinyl fence and railing made in China that ships to the United States by container. Those products are inferior and will soon become brittle causing the vinyl to chip, crack and fade.
Also check on the length of the sections you’re getting. If your vinyl fence sections are more than six-feet in length, you will have a 33 percent loss in strength against both wind and sagging problems.
Most important is to check the wall thickness of your fence or railing, especially the posts. In addition to all of the facts listed above make sure your new vinyl fence or railing comes with a complete lifetime warranty.
Always ask for a sample before purchasing. You can’t go wrong if you do a little homework, check out the company, its products and their reputation.
