Vinyl fence installation Guelph, ON
A vinyl fence installation is less complex than a wooden fence one, but still requires care and precision. Our vinyl fence contractors will install your vinyl fencing so that you can enjoy its practical use and beauty for literally decades (vinyl fences can last 30 years if installed and maintained properly)!
Some home and business owners look for a material that can withstand the harsh and extreme Canadian seasons, temperatures and weather. Vinyl does that job wonderfully. Although this is a subjective opinion, many clients prefer wood for their natural beauty, flexibility in changing the colour with stains and its biodegradability, while others love the vibrant colours offered in vinyl fences. Let’s explore some commonly asked questions: How well does vinyl fencing hold up? Really well. It can last 30 years or so if it’s well taken care of. How much does it cost to put up a vinyl fence? The vinyl fence installation cost depends on a few factors, so give us a call for an estimate. Is a vinyl fence better than wood? |
|
That depends on the features you’re talking about. Durability - in general yes, but cedar’s longevity rivals vinyl in lifespan. But if there’s a torrential windstorm, vinyl fences may not fare as well as wood, since there is not much space between vinyl boards to allow air to flow through. Maintenance - yes, just wash the dirt off with a garden hose and you’re done. Appearance - the general consensus is wood, but again, this is subjective. Resistance to rot - yes, man-made materials like vinyl just don’t allow the bugs to penetrate the material easily. Price - vinyl material is more expensive than wood, but vinyl fence installations are simpler and take less time than wood, so may be less costly in that regard. Long-term costs may be higher for wood because on average, wood is not as durable as vinyl, but if the vinyl cracks, vinyl fence repairs are more expensive than that of wood.
How do I choose a vinyl fence?
First, don’t buy them for big box stores. The quality varies wildly and is questionable. Second, ask your vinyl fencing contractor about the product’s warranty. Ask your fencing company about the available sizes, thickness, design and colour. Finally, ask if the vinyl is recycled or virgin. The final may not play a huge role in your decision, but some clients choose one or the other due to sustainability, durability and price.
There’s a lot to think about, but the thing you don’t have to worry about when you contact our Guelph vinyl fence installers is the actual fence addition itself. You can pick the styles, the colours, the thickness and design (all the fun stuff!), but let us do all the hard work, from calling for locates (to make sure any existing underground infrastructure is properly labeled) to digging into the ground and installing the posts and boards.
If you like vinyl fence features, but want to incorporate some of the wood attributes as well, consider composite fences. Ask us about those options, and we’ll explain it to you in greater detail the pros and cons of each one.
