Vinyl Fencing - FAQ

What is this product made of?

The base ingredient is rigid PVC (polyvinyl chloride) homopolymer compound, with a high level of titanium Dioxide pigment for long term, ultraviolet (UV) light resistance and impact modifiers for superior strength. The formula is similar to that of vinyl siding and windows which have a twenty year history of providing long term durability and structural integrity.

How long will a Vinyl fence last?

Our components are engineered to  last a lifetime. All of our extruded components carry a fully transferable, non-prorated lifetime warranty. For warranty details, see the warranty section of this site.


How does vinyl versus wood compare on cost?

Although the initial cost of vinyl is slightly higher than wood, vinyl's long-term, maintenance-free durability more than makes up for that cost difference, and actually saves you money over time.

Will vinyl fencing yellow, chip or break over time?

Our Vinyl components use a high content (10 parts per 100 parts) of TiO2 (titanium dioxide) and ultraviolet inhibitors which have been proven to prevent yellowing. It is also engineered to withstand, chipping and peeling.  As a result, we can back our products with a lifetime warranty against yellowing.

Can vinyl fencing break?

Our Vinyl components use a high content of impact inhibitors which prevent breaking of properly installed fencing. Of course, a direct impact such as being hit by a car can cause damage, but are easilty replaced.

Will fencing become brittle in cold weather or expand in hot weather?

While plastic materials do become less flexible when it's cold, our fence is designed to accommodate normal temperature swings. The impact inhibitors we use to prevent breaking also help our components withstand cold weather conditions. In hot weather the fence will contract and expand.  This is normal and expected.
  
What kind of maintenance does vinyl fence require?

A mild detergent and water are all you should need to keep your fence looking new. For tough stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner. We recommend you wash your fence once a year.
