Vinyl Fencing Vs. Wood Vs. Concrete

Vinyl Fencing

• Vinyl fencing comes in a plethora of designs, but there are many pros and cons to this particular type of fencing. While it is maintenance free, it does cost more upfront for installation. There are limited color choices and it may collect mold. However, it is termite-free and will not rot.

Wood Fencing

• Wood fencing does not come in as many different patterns or textures as vinyl fencing. It is inexpensive and can be painted or stained any color desired. It is all-natural and easy to install. Unfortunately, it requires regular yearly maintenance and it may rot or suffer from termites.

Concrete Fencing

• Concrete fencing can be molded into nearly any shape, style or texture desired. It can also be painted or stained. It requires less maintenance than wood, but may discolor or suffer from cracks or chips if not properly made.

Alternate Options

• Though wood, vinyl and concrete fencing are all viable options, homeowners should also consider other types of fencing during the decision-making process as well. Other types of fencing include brick fencing, chain link fencing, wrought iron or metal fencing and plastic fencing.
