Myths About Vinyl Fences

vinyl fence myths

Don’t believe these vinyl fence myths!

Are you considering buying a vinyl fence for your property? Vinyl fences are a popular choice because they look nice, are insect-proof, and come in a wide range of style options. However, there may be certain things you’ve heard that are holding you back from making the decision to invest in a vinyl fence. We’re here to bust these vinyl fence myths so you can make an informed decision!

Myth #1: Vinyl Fences Fade Over Time

Back in the 60s and 70s, many homeowners started to replace the wood siding on their homes with fancy new vinyl siding. The look was impressive and neat…until it started fading over time. Will the same thing happen to your vinyl fence?

While vinyl fences do face the extremes of outdoor weather, modern techniques of making vinyl have made the vinyl fence much more resistant to UV rays, rain, and snow. The vinyl of today doesn’t fade the way it did several decades ago.

Myth #2: Vinyl Fences Crack in Cold Weather

This is one of the most widespread myths about vinyl fences. While vinyl does loose a bit of its flexibility in the cold, the change is nearly imperceptible and definitely not enough to cause the fence to crack or break just because of the temperature.

Myth #3: Vinyl Fences Aren’t Strong

You want to invest in a fence that will hold up for many years. Afraid that vinyl fencing won’t do the trick? Vinyl fences are actually one of the most durable fences you can buy! They won’t rot, warp, or become infested with termites like wood fences can if not properly maintained. Since vinyl fences offer a little flexibility, they also tend to bounce back from regular impacts and wear and tear.

Myth #4: All Vinyl Fences Look the Same

When you think of a vinyl fence, you probably think of a white fence. While vinyl fences used to only come in white, today they come in a huge range of colors and styles, so you’re sure to find the exact fence that you’re looking for!
