Vinyl Fence Installation Company in Lexington, SC
and Surrounding Areas
Lexington Fencing's vinyl fences provide many benefits. PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is used to make vinyl fences. A vinyl privacy fence may last up to 50 years on average. They are fade resistant, so you won't have to sand, stain, or paint your fence to keep it looking great. You will never have to refinish your fence. Vinyl fences do not warp, break, or rot when exposed to water. Vinyl fences are easy to maintain and can be cleaned with only soap and water. Vinyl is safe for children and dogs since it does not splinter, crack, or split into sharp edges. Insects won't be able to chew through this substance. Privacy fences, picket fences, garden fences, pool fences and more are available in a number of colors and styles. Lexington Fencing's high-quality vinyl may be made to seem like real wood.

Design
Vinyl fences come in a variety of styles. Tall privacy fences with slats close together to restrict sight lines are available. Picket versions with slats that are more evenly spaced are also available. Accents like lattice at the top of the fence, a scalloped top, or ornate post caps are additional options. There are even vinyl fences with narrow, rounded slats with pointy tips that appear like ornamental iron fences. Most individuals choose a fence that is four to six feet tall, however there are higher and shorter versions available. Check for local limitations before beginning your project, since residential fencing regulations are common. Lexington Fencing can also install post and rail vinyl fences, also known as split rail fences. These are common for outlining property boundaries or for securing livestock or horses, when privacy is not an issue. Vinyl fences usually come in a variety of colors. Gray, brown, white, tan, and black are examples of neutrals. Blue, red, and green are among the stronger hues available in some models. Furthermore, vinyl may be textured to resemble other materials such as genuine wood or stucco. Vinyl fences may be used to divide a section of your yard in any location. For example, a tall fence may provide protection and seclusion in your backyard. You may even use one to secure a pool. Additionally, you may use short vinyl fence to accent garden beds or other areas of your landscape
Installation
Depending on the area you're fencing, the process should take one to two days. First, make sure you have the right permits and utilities marked. Working around utility wires and other existing structures, such as trees, is one of the most difficult aspects of erecting a fence. That's why it's crucial to plan out your fence's exact path before you start. If you are replacing an old fence in the same location, then this shouldn't be an issue. |

Expense
One of the reasons why some individuals are hesitant to utilize vinyl fences is that they believe it will be more expensive than other options. Though this form of fence may be a little more expensive based on current wood prices, we feel the benefits will far outweigh the disadvantages over time. That is the general agreement among professionals. Since vinyl fences can last around 50 years, this is something you should really consider if you intend to stay in your house for a long time.

Repair and Maintenance
Vinyl fences are often low-maintenance. They never need to be painted or stained, and their surface is scratch-resistant and simple to clean. Because vinyl is nonporous, if your fence becomes dirty, you can just spray it with a hose to wash it. If you have dogs or children, you won't have to worry about splinters as you would with a wood fence. Mold, algae, and mildew can form on a vinyl fence, especially if it is located near a sprinkler system that keeps the area moist. However, removing the stain is usually not hard. Simply spray down your fence to remove the most of the stain, then scrub it clean with a water and dish soap solution. The stain should be gone if you rinse the fence with your hose. |

Repairs might be difficult with a vinyl fence, but they shouldn't be expected with this durable material. Depending on how the components fit together, you may have to replace the entire fence panel if a section of the fence breaks. With a wood fence, you can usually repair only one broken board or post rather than the entire panel. The cost of repairs varies greatly depending on the damage.
Vinyl fencing can be installed in the following styles: picket fence, semi-privacy fence, privacy fence, and post and rail fence (aka split-rail fencing) in many different colors.
Vinyl Picket Fencing: For decades, picket fences have been a popular fence type in the Lexington, SC region and throughout the Midlands. Vinyl picket fences are a long lasting alternative to the traditional wood picket fence. You will still get the charm with the added bonus of less maintenance and repair with vinyl. Vinyl picket fences are almost indistinguishable from the wood option. With pickets spaced up to 3 inches apart, picket fences are often a high visibility alternative. This spacing also allows for a smooth breeze to pass through the barrier. Front yards, gardens, and pool fences are all good candidates.
Vinyl Privacy Fencing and Vinyl Semi-privacy Fencing: A privacy fence is made up of vinyl planks with little to no gap between them. These are perfect for seclusion in backyards and for pool fences. If wind flow is still desired, a semi-private fence option is your best bet. The vinyl planks are set with a very small gap in between them to allow for some air flow. There is some visibility when look at the fence straight on, but it vanishes when looking at an angle. Using vinyl in the long run will save you money, as it lasts much longer.
Vinyl Split Rail Fencing: Split rail fences are commonly used to designate property borders, provide a beautiful touch to your land, or keep animals and horses in. They also contribute to the beauty of country living and add curb appeal. This form of fence, often known as post and rail fencing, can have two, three, or four rails. Constucting this style of fence with vinyl will ensure it lasts almost triple the amount of time that wood does.
