Vinyl / PVC Fences
Low-maintenance vinyl fencing that delivers lasting beauty, durability, and value without the upkeep demands of traditional materials.
The Vinyl Fence Advantage
Vinyl fencing has revolutionized the fence industry by offering beauty without the maintenance burden. When Advanced Hurricane Fencing installs your vinyl fence, you get decades of worry-free performance. No painting, no staining, no rot, no rust. Just clean, attractive fencing that stays looking new year after year.
Your time is valuable. Why spend weekends maintaining a fence when you could be enjoying your yard? Vinyl gives you that freedom while enhancing your property with clean lines and consistent color that never fades or chips.
Key Benefits of Vinyl Fencing
- •Zero maintenance required - no painting, staining, or sealing ever
- •Weather-resistant material unaffected by moisture, sun, or temperature
- •Never rots, warps, cracks, or splinters like wood fencing
- •Color stays consistent without fading or yellowing
- •Easy cleaning with just soap and water when needed
- •Longer lifespan than wood with warranties up to 30 years
- •Insect-proof - termites and other pests cannot damage vinyl
Hurricane's climate can be tough on fences with intense sun, occasional wind storms, and temperature swings. Vinyl handles all of it without complaint. The material is engineered specifically to withstand these challenges while maintaining its appearance and structural integrity.
Understanding Vinyl Fence Quality
Not all vinyl fencing is created equal. Quality varies significantly between manufacturers, and installation expertise makes a huge difference in long-term performance. We use only premium vinyl products designed for our climate and back them with professional installation.
Virgin Vinyl vs Recycled Materials
The best vinyl fences are made from virgin vinyl with UV inhibitors and impact modifiers built in. This prevents the yellowing, brittleness, and cracking that plague cheaper products. Some manufacturers use recycled materials that save money but compromise quality and longevity.
We specify high-grade virgin vinyl from manufacturers with proven track records. The slight price difference upfront pays for itself many times over through decades of maintenance-free service. Your fence should last at least 30 years, and cheap materials simply cannot deliver that kind of performance.
Wall Thickness and Reinforcement
Vinyl fence panels and posts come in different wall thicknesses. Thicker walls mean greater strength and wind resistance. We use appropriately thick materials for Hurricane's conditions, with reinforcement where needed for gates and high-stress areas.
Many installers cut corners with thin-walled vinyl that looks fine initially but flexes and sags over time. Our installations use proper gauges and internal reinforcement to ensure your fence stays straight and strong year after year.
Color and Style Options
While white remains the most popular vinyl fence color, you have other options. Tan, gray, and various wood-tone colors are available, all with the same maintenance-free benefits. The color goes completely through the material, so scratches or cuts don't reveal a different shade underneath.
Style options include privacy fences, picket fences, ranch rail, and semi-privacy designs. Decorative touches like lattice tops, scalloped edges, and post caps add character. We can match almost any traditional wood fence style in durable vinyl.
Professional Installation Makes the Difference
Even the best vinyl fencing fails if installed improperly. Posts must be set deep with adequate concrete. Panels need proper spacing to allow for thermal expansion. Gates require heavy-duty hinges and precise alignment. These details separate professional results from amateur installations.
Our installation process follows manufacturer specifications exactly while adapting to site-specific conditions. We've installed hundreds of vinyl fences in Hurricane and understand what works best in our local environment.
Vinyl vs Wood: Making the Right Choice
Both vinyl and wood have their place. Wood offers a natural aesthetic and can be more cost-effective initially. Vinyl requires higher upfront investment but costs less over time due to zero maintenance. The choice depends on your priorities, budget, and how you plan to use your property.
For homeowners who want set-it-and-forget-it simplicity, vinyl wins easily. If you enjoy working on home projects and don't mind periodic maintenance, wood might appeal more. We help you weigh the options honestly so you make the right decision for your situation.
Cleaning and Care
While vinyl is maintenance-free regarding painting and repairs, it does benefit from occasional cleaning. A garden hose removes most dirt and dust. For stubborn stains or mildew in shaded areas, mild soap and a soft brush do the job. The entire cleaning process takes minutes, not hours or days like maintaining wood.
Unlike wood, vinyl doesn't hold moisture that promotes mold growth. It dries quickly and resists mildew naturally. Even in Hurricane's occasional wet periods, your vinyl fence stays clean and fresh-looking with minimal effort.
