Fence Upkeep
The maintenance on Vinyl Fencing, much like its decking counterpart, is virtually nonexistent. Vinyl doesn’t require painting or staining, doesn’t rust, and shouldn’t require any refinishing either. It withstands harsh weather like a pro, and if it does get dirty it can be cleaned easily with everyday household cleaners. So if you are a busy homeowner that is looking for a fencing solution that is low maintenance, vinyl is your material!

Environmentally Friendly
You heard right, Vinyl decking, fencing, and most all other vinyl materials and items can be easily recycled. In fact, recycling of vinyl has been happening for decades. Because it can be recycled and reused, vinyl is one of the most Eco-friendly options when choosing household materials. It is estimated that in the U.S. Alone some 1 billion pounds of pre and post-consumer vinyl are recycled each year! Not only is it recyclable but it is also non-toxic and isn’t treated with chemicals.

It’s Flexible
Unlike wood, vinyl doesn’t rot, break, or crack in most cases. In fact, it’s nearly 5 times as strong as wood, and much more flexible. This makes it an excellent choice for Maryland in particular, with our harsh weather and cold winters, the flexibility that vinyl has will make it less susceptible to collapse and break. This is why you’ll find it in many sea-side communities as well, the salt air won’t ruin it over time.

Animal Safe
If you’re putting up a fence to protect your pets or livestock, vinyl fencing is a great choice. Horses and other large animals can’t chew through vinyl, and it’s a strong option for dogs who like to dig under as well.
