A professional installation of a durable, white vinyl privacy fence.
For homeowners and property managers seeking the aesthetic appeal of a classic wood fence without the perpetual maintenance nightmare of painting, staining, and rot, Vinyl (or PVC) fencing is the superior modern solution. Vinyl fencing provides unmatched resistance to the elements, a lifetime of low-to-no maintenance, and a clean, consistent appearance that boosts curb appeal instantly. It’s an investment in **durability and freedom from upkeep**.
At **Bell and Son Fence Company, Inc.**, we ensure that the vinyl we source is **virgin vinyl** (never recycled), which is essential for strength and color longevity. We empower you to choose smart.
A clean, finished vinyl fence line providing flawless privacy and boundary definition.
Vinyl fencing is made from Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), a durable plastic polymer known for its resilience:
Zero Maintenance: Unlike wood, vinyl never needs painting, staining, or sealing. Its non-porous surface makes it simple to clean with a hose and mild soap.
Weather Resistance: Vinyl does not absorb water, meaning it is impervious to **rot, rust, blister, or peel**. It is highly stable and can withstand strong winds and UV exposure (when properly sourced).
The Thickness Factor: The durability of a vinyl fence is often related to the thickness of the material, measured in inches (e.g., 0.135”). **Thicker material provides greater impact resistance** and structural rigidity. We always recommend the proper gauge for your regional climate and use case.
Interior Reinforcement: For maximum stability, especially on gates and large posts, high-quality vinyl fences may be internally reinforced with aluminum or galvanized steel inserts, combining the aesthetic of vinyl with the strength of metal.
Vinyl’s flexibility in design makes it a favorite for homeowners who want privacy and a polished look.
Full Privacy Fencing: The most common application, using interlocking boards (e.g., a **6-foot high tongue-and-groove white vinyl fence**) to create an uninterrupted visual barrier for backyards.
Semi-Private/Shadowbox: Offering a classic look with small gaps between boards, allowing for airflow while maintaining separation and boundary.
Picket Fencing: Providing the charming look of a traditional picket fence without any of the associated maintenance.
Custom Height and Color: While white is standard, vinyl can be sourced in various colors (such as tan or gray) or custom-cut heights to meet specific HOA or design requirements.
Pergola & Arbor Integration: Matching vinyl material can be seamlessly integrated into custom-built decorative structures like arbors or pergolas, creating a cohesive outdoor living space.
For commercial properties, vinyl is chosen for its low lifecycle cost and appealing presentation.
Dumpster Enclosures: Providing a durable, easy-to-clean screen for service areas, maintaining a clean appearance for businesses.
Condo & HOA Perimeters: Used extensively in managed communities due to the guaranteed consistency of appearance and the minimal cost required for long-term maintenance.
Sound/Visual Barriers: Along roadways or commercial boundaries, a tall, dense vinyl fence can serve as an effective, attractive visual and partial sound barrier.
Tenant Separation: Custom-designed vinyl partitions used in outdoor plazas or multi-tenant commercial spaces for durable, attractive separation.
Themed Park Fencing: Fabrication of custom post caps and rails to meet specific branding or architectural themes for retail and recreational facilities.
Use these comparison points to determine if vinyl is the right material for your needs:
Choose Vinyl If… Your top priority is no maintenance beyond a periodic cleaning.
Consider Another Material If… You enjoy the natural look and feel of wood and are willing to perform regular staining/sealing.
Choose Vinyl If… You are in a wet, coastal, or humid climate where wood rot and rust are significant concerns.
Consider Another Material If… Your area experiences extreme, prolonged heat, which can sometimes cause minor expansion/contraction (though modern vinyl is highly stable).
Choose Vinyl If… You need total visual privacy with a clean, classic, uniform look.
Consider Another Material If… High security (e.g., anti-climb/anti-cut) is the primary concern (steel or heavy-gauge chain link is better).
Choose Vinyl If… You prefer modular repairs (individual damaged panels are simple to replace and perfectly match the existing color).
Consider Another Material If… You need a continuous, monolithic structure (welded metal or masonry).
By choosing high-quality, virgin vinyl and expert installation, you are securing a beautiful, durable boundary that will look new for decades with minimal effort.
