PVC fencing has become a popular option for residential environments where sturdiness and beauty are equally important. An increasing number of businesses are using PVC fencing due to its carefree nature and durability. In many areas, home and business owners are choosing it over chain link or wood to accommodate a variety of needs ranging from privacy to security.
Pros

- The fencing remains unaffected by weather and won’t fade from UV rays.
- It won’t peel, chip, rot or splinter.
- The fencing won’t stain or become discolored even when it’s exposed to salt water.
- PVC fencing is unattractive to insects and is resistant to unsightly fungus.
- There are over 30 different unique and decorative styles from which to choose, it’s available in a myriad of colors, and there are numerous options for customization.
- PVC fencing is nearly five times stronger than the average wood fence.
- The material is recyclable and environmentally friendly.
- It won’t burn in the event of a fire.
- PVC fencing is non-toxic.
- Best of all, PVC fencing is a more cost effective alternative than concrete, brick or stone.
Despite all of its advantages, no fencing material is perfect. PVC fencing does have some disadvantages.
Cons
PVC is more expensive than wood.
Despite the many textures and styles available that give the appearance of stone or brick, when viewed up close, people can still determine that it’s a synthetic material.
PVC does expand and contract with fluctuations in temperatures, which means it can begin to become brittle toward the end of its 20-30 year lifespan.
