Vinyl and Composite Fencing: The Pros and Cons

There are pros and cons to everything that is purchased and placed throughout the home. It is a fact of life, but knowing when the cons cross the line to going over the pros is when you decide which purchase would be the best to go with. Vinyl and composite fencing are both popular choices throughout the fencing industry, and they both come with many pros, and very little cons. However, in order for you to make the decision on which to go with, you have to know these for yourself. 

We will break down the pros and cons of vinyl and composite fencing for you…

Vinyl Fencing 

Pros - 

Just about maintenance free since you can wash it down every now and again with hose water and mild soap, while not having to worry about painting or sanding it. 

This material does not split, splinter or crack, no matter what the outside elements are or what it might come into contact with throughout the years.

The vinyl material is immune to insects, rot and a wide range of other issues that might happen.

Cons - 

Colors may fade with time, and may be limited depending on what colors you’re thinking of purchasing and then adding to the yard. 

Is more costly than other types of fencing materials on the market, for example: wood.

Composite Fencing 

Pros - 

Made from recycled materials that are resistant to rodents, rot and insects. 

It looks just like wood, or other materials but without having the cons of the other materials that you can get to fence in your home.

Usually is backed with a 20+ year warranty, allowing you to rest assured knowing it is covered. 

Easy to maintain and wipe down for the years that you have it, and it comes in many different colors so you can go with something that easily matches the home.

Cons - 

More expansive than other selections of fencing on the markets currently. 

The color may fade with time, especially in the areas where the sun hits the fence a lot. 

The material is more prone to stains than some of the others.
