Vinyl fencing is an excellent choice for perimeter fencing. It is much more durable and low maintenance when compared to the alternative of metal perimeter fencing. Vinyl will not rust, pit or rot over the years and vinyl keeps looking brand new for years to come. The best vinyl perimeter fence meets all industry quality standards of ASTM F964. This ensures proper vinyl fence thickness, strength and color stability under the sun.

The cheapest fence is vinyl fencing that will outlast wood fences and never needs to be replaced. But not all vinyl is made of the same quality, so be mindful of the different grades of vinyl fencing available.

There are various grades of vinyl fencing from residential to commercial to imported products. Residential grade is typically the cheapest and thinnest fence material you can buy. Commercial grade vinyl fences are of higher quality and used by the contractor trade. Imported products are often suspect as manufacturers and industry standards are unknown. Quality vinyl fencing made in the USA that meets and exceeds ASTM F964 industry standards, which are set by relevant industry professionals, are the best quality vinyl fences you will find.

There are two important considerations when looking at the cost of a vinyl fence per foot. First, will the quality of vinyl last as long as you expect? Often cheap vinyl fences may just not perform over time. Second, when buying vinyl fences online, the prices are competitive for both contractors and for those who build the fence themselves because of separating the cost of the fence from the cost of the installation, which ensures you are buying the fence at the best possible price.

Over the past few years with the cost of production, fuel, and manufacturing, vinyl and wood are now very comparable in price. The initial installation of vinyl fence is a little higher in today's market, however the overall cost quickly becomes favorable over wood because of the lack of maintenance required over the years to keep the fence looking as new as when it was installed. Unlike a wooden fence, a vinyl fence doesn’t require staining or painting. That means vinyl fencing can look the same 10 years after it is installed.
