What Is a Vinyl Fence?

A vinyl fence is a PVC plastic fence. It is entirely constructed, aside from what fastens the pieces together, of polyvinyl chloride plastic, a manmade substance that is an excellent building material for all kinds of indoor and outdoor structures. For vinyl fencing, protective additives enhance its performance.

How Is It Made?

The fence material starts with PVC plastic. The manufacturer adds a UV-inhibiting chemical to the PVC plastic, as well as titanium dioxide and acrylic impact modifiers, to make it as resistant to fading, cracking, and other damage as possible. You can read more about it here.

Types of Vinyl Fences

Vinyl is an incredibly flexible material; you can create any shape with it. You can technically create any kind of fence you want with vinyl, but the standard options have their stand in the market for great reasons, too. Types of vinyl fences include:

  • Picket
  • Privacy
  • Split-rail
  • Paddock
  • Lattice
  • Grid

Each of these fences plays a role in protecting a property. The Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence blog has many blog posts regarding types of fence styles and their pros and cons. If you would like to see the options for yourself in central Maryland, Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence has a showroom you can visit on Route 3 South in Gambrills, Maryland!

Vinyl Fence Maintenance

It is easy to maintain a vinyl fence! All you have to do is inspect it for damage and wash it down occasionally. A garden hose or pressure washer should be enough, but if you need to remove stuck-on stains, mold, or mildew, you can use mild dish detergent or a commercial vinyl fence cleaner and some elbow grease.

Vinyl Fence Costs

The cost of the fence will depend on its style, length, height, and complexity. It will also depend on your area. Request a free estimate from Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence to find out how much it would be for you!
