While wood is a common fence material, vinyl fencing is starting to become more popular. It’s important to know the difference between them when looking to choose a fence material.

Vinyl fences are made from durable plastic and are known for their low maintenance. It doesn’t need painting and can withstand harsh weather without much wear and tear. They are also very durable and won’t rot, chip, or crack like wood can. With these added benefits, vinyl fencing will have a much higher installation cost. They can be as much as two times the cost of wood.

Wood is a natural material that offers a classic look that homeowners love and can be customized with paint or stain. While cheaper to install than vinyl, it does require regular maintenance. Wood fences need to be painted or stained to protect them from the weather. Over time, wood can rot, warp, or be damaged by insects. While it may be less durable than vinyl, wood fences are easier to repair.
