Frequently asked questions
Is vinyl fencing cheaper than wood?
It costs more upfront but needs no staining and lasts 25+ years, so the lifetime cost is often lower than cedar.
How deep do vinyl fence posts go?
At least a third of the post height and below frost line, set in concrete - vinyl posts rely entirely on the footing for strength.
