Vinyl / PVC Fences

The Vinyl Advantage

Vinyl fencing has revolutionized how homeowners think about fences. If you want a fence that looks great with minimal effort, vinyl is hard to beat. It never needs painting, staining, or sealing. You will never deal with splinters, rot, or rust. Just spray it off with a garden hose once or twice a year and it stays looking like new.

Vinyl fences are engineered to withstand the elements. The color goes all the way through the material, so scratches and scuffs barely show. The material will not fade, yellow, or become brittle in St. George intense sun. Modern vinyl formulations include UV inhibitors that protect against sun damage. This means your fence maintains its appearance for decades.

While vinyl costs more upfront than wood fencing, it saves money over time. You eliminate the recurring costs of stain, paint, and maintenance supplies. You also save countless hours of work. For many homeowners, the convenience alone makes vinyl worth the investment.

At HRC St George Fencing, we install premium vinyl fencing designed specifically for residential use. Our vinyl is thicker and stronger than economy options. Posts and rails are reinforced for extra strength. We use stainless steel hardware that will not corrode. These quality materials ensure your vinyl fence withstands wind, weather, and everyday use.

Vinyl Fence Styles and Options

Design Flexibility

Vinyl fencing comes in a wide variety of styles. You can achieve almost any look, from classic to contemporary. Here are the most popular vinyl fence styles we install.

• Privacy Fences: Solid vinyl panels provide complete privacy and security. These fences feature interlocking tongue and groove boards that create a seamless appearance. Heights typically range from 6 to 8 feet. Privacy fences are perfect for backyards where you want seclusion from neighbors.
• Picket Fences: The timeless appeal of a picket fence without the maintenance of wood. Vinyl pickets come in various heights, typically 3 to 4 feet. You can choose pointed, flat, or decorative tops. Picket fences define boundaries while maintaining an open, friendly appearance. They work beautifully for front yards.
• Semi-Privacy Fences: These offer privacy while allowing airflow and some light through. Options include spaced pickets, lattice tops, or shadowbox designs. Semi-privacy fences create separation without completely blocking your view or making spaces feel closed in.
• Ranch Rail Fences: Also called post and rail. This style mimics the look of traditional split rail fences but in durable vinyl. It defines property lines with a clean, open look. Ranch rail fencing works well for larger properties and creates a classic, pastoral aesthetic.

Vinyl fencing also offers color choices beyond white. Tan and gray are popular neutral options. Some manufacturers offer wood grain textures that mimic the look of painted wood. We help you select the style and color that complements your home.

We can also add decorative elements like lattice tops, decorative post caps, and coordinating gates. These touches personalize your fence and enhance your property appearance.

Vinyl vs Other Fence Materials

Choosing between fence materials depends on your priorities. Here is how vinyl compares to other options.

Compared to wood, vinyl requires far less maintenance. Wood needs regular staining or painting to protect it and maintain appearance. Vinyl stays looking good with just occasional washing. Wood can warp, split, and rot over time. Vinyl does not have these issues. However, wood offers more design flexibility and a natural aesthetic some homeowners prefer. Wood also costs less initially, though vinyl saves money long-term through eliminated maintenance costs.

Compared to aluminum, vinyl offers more privacy options. Most aluminum fencing is ornamental with pickets, offering visibility through the fence. Vinyl can provide solid privacy panels. Aluminum works better for decorative applications where you want an elegant metal look. Both materials are low-maintenance and long-lasting.

Compared to chain-link, vinyl looks more finished and provides better privacy. Chain-link is more economical and extremely durable, making it practical for large areas or when appearance is less critical. If aesthetics and privacy matter, vinyl is the better choice.

The best material depends on your specific needs. We discuss all options during your free consultation and help you weigh the pros and cons based on your situation. Our goal is helping you make the right choice, not pushing the most expensive option.
