Vinyl / PVC Fences
Low-maintenance vinyl and PVC fencing that delivers lasting beauty and durability without the upkeep of traditional materials.
The Advantages of Vinyl Fencing
Vinyl fencing has become increasingly popular among homeowners who want the look of a traditional fence without the maintenance hassles. Unlike wood, vinyl never needs painting or staining. It will not rot, warp, or split even in harsh weather. Vinyl resists insects that can damage wood fences. The color goes all the way through the material, so scratches and dings are far less noticeable than on painted surfaces.
The durability of vinyl means your fence maintains its appearance year after year with minimal effort. A simple rinse with a garden hose or occasional cleaning with soap and water keeps vinyl looking fresh. You will never spend weekends scraping, sanding, and repainting. This low maintenance makes vinyl ideal for busy families or anyone who would rather enjoy their yard than work on fence upkeep.
At Elite Alexander City Fencing, we install premium vinyl fencing products that stand up to our local climate. The vinyl we use is engineered to handle temperature extremes without becoming brittle or fading significantly. Proper installation is crucial for vinyl fence performance. We ensure posts are set correctly, panels fit properly, and all components are secured according to manufacturer specifications. A professionally installed vinyl fence will serve your Alexander City property beautifully for decades with virtually no maintenance.
Vinyl Fence Styles and Options
Privacy Vinyl Fencing
Vinyl privacy fences are our most requested style. These fences feature solid panels with tongue-and-groove construction that blocks views and provides excellent screening. Privacy vinyl fences typically stand six feet tall, creating a secluded backyard space perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or letting kids and pets play safely. The clean, uniform appearance of vinyl privacy fencing complements any home style.
Privacy vinyl fences come in several design variations. You can choose straight-top panels for a contemporary look or scalloped tops that add visual interest. Some styles feature lattice accents at the top that maintain privacy while adding decorative appeal. The most common color is white, but we also offer tan, gray, and other shades to coordinate with your home exterior. All colors are manufactured into the vinyl rather than painted on, ensuring long-lasting appearance.
Vinyl Picket Fencing
Vinyl picket fences bring classic charm without the maintenance of painted wood pickets. These fences feature spaced pickets in traditional or contemporary designs. Heights typically range from three to four feet, making them ideal for front yards where you want to define property lines while maintaining an open, friendly appearance. Vinyl picket fences never need painting and resist the fading and yellowing that can affect painted wood over time.
You can choose from pointed picket tops, rounded tops, or flat caps depending on your preferred style. Spacing between pickets can be adjusted to provide more or less visibility. Wider pickets create a more substantial appearance while narrow pickets offer a delicate, traditional look. We help you select the picket style and spacing that best fits your property and aesthetic preferences.
Other Vinyl Fence Designs
Beyond privacy and picket styles, vinyl fencing offers additional options:
- Ranch rail fencing for a clean, open look that defines boundaries
- Semi-privacy fencing with alternating wide and narrow boards
- Decorative vinyl fencing with ornamental caps and accent pieces
- Contemporary horizontal vinyl designs for modern homes
- Vinyl pool fencing that meets safety codes while matching your main fence
Vinyl fencing comes in complete systems with matching posts, caps, gates, and hardware. This ensures a cohesive appearance throughout your fence. We help you design a vinyl fence that meets your functional needs while enhancing your property's curb appeal. The combination of attractive design and minimal maintenance makes vinyl an excellent long-term investment.
Vinyl Quality and Installation
Not all vinyl fencing is created equal. Lower-quality vinyl can become brittle, fade quickly, or crack under stress. Premium vinyl contains UV inhibitors that prevent sun damage and impact modifiers that maintain flexibility. The vinyl thickness and internal reinforcement affect strength and durability. We use high-quality vinyl products from reputable manufacturers who back their products with substantial warranties.
Proper installation is just as important as material quality. Vinyl fences require specific installation techniques different from wood fencing. Posts must be set deeper and anchored securely since vinyl panels catch more wind than open designs. Panels must be properly secured in post channels while allowing for thermal expansion and contraction. Gates need adequate support to prevent sagging over time. Our installers understand these requirements and follow best practices for vinyl fence installation.
We also ensure your vinyl fence is installed level and plumb even on sloped terrain. Vinyl fences can step down slopes or follow the grade depending on your preference and site conditions. All hardware and fasteners are designed specifically for vinyl applications. Proper installation techniques combined with quality materials result in a vinyl fence that performs flawlessly for many years. We stand behind our installation work and the products we use.
