Vinyl and wood fences are the top names that appear in a list so far as fencing is concerned in Utah. Wooden fences have been in use for quite some now. Needless to say, these fences have garnered a lot of traction over the years. However, in Utah, the winters are dry, and the summers are wet. In such climatic conditions, wooden fences might not be the best fit. Rather, a vinyl privacy fence in Utah has risen to the occasion and has certainly become the talk of the town.
Duramax’s vinyl privacy fence has been proven to stand the test of time. However, many people are still inclined toward wooden fences just because of their appearance. To help overcome this roadblock and help people enjoy the best of both worlds, we came up with DuraGrain vinyl fences having the look of wood but the inherent characteristics of vinyl.
Here we will be looking at what makes our wood-grained vinyl privacy fences a far better option than the conventional real wooden fences and why you should vouch for vinyl fences in Utah.
The good things about vinyl fences
Vinyl wood provides better privacy: Duramax’s vinyl privacy fences sport exceptional durability. This top-notch durability will provide better privacy from pedestrians and neighbors. On the other hand, the poorly-maintained wooden fence has cracks and holes that can compromise your privacy. The slightest thunderstorm in Utah can wreak havoc with your wooden fence and leave you stranded with wrecked fencing.
Easy installation: It would take several days to set up wooden fences for a perimeter of about 100- 200 feet. This time includes the pre-installation prep and the post-installation clean-up. Structural adjustments and weather can, however, stretch the time. On the flip side, our vinyl fences come pre-cut and with every tool essential for installation included. As a result, there is no need to waste time on adjustments, unlike wooden fences. All these make the vinyl fence installation process a breeze. While installing a wooden fence is laborious and time consuming, the vinyl fence installation takes minimal time.
Wooden fences won’t last in harsh weather: Property damage can cause many issues, and needless to say, unforeseen expenditures will crop up out of nowhere. Keep those hefty costs at bay with our vinyl privacy fence. Our vinyl privacy fence is made from the proprietary DuraResin formulation that goes to great lengths to enhance the strength of the fences. This ensures that the fences can hold out against extreme weather conditions, which are common in states like Utah. Not just that, our fences have also passed the 105-mph wind test.
Wooden fences, however, are almost obliterated during a storm, and you will find yourself picking up those fence panels around your yard. Constant gusts of wind can alter the shape of wood, causing them to lean or shift toward your neighbor’s yard. Thunderstorms in Utah can destroy your wooden fence, so investing in a vinyl fence is ideal.
Vinyl is cheaper in the long run: The up-front cost might be a bit higher for our vinyl fences. However, you can get wooden fences at dirt-cheap prices. Although our specially designed DuraGrain vinyl privacy fence would cost you a bit more, they last longer and need fewer repairs. However, the maintenance of wooden fences is where the price skyrockets in gargantuan proportions. Wooden fences call for regular maintenance to keep them in top shape. The time and cost you need to invest in the maintenance of wooden fences will eventually catch up and even exceed the cost of vinyl fence installation.
On the other hand, our DuraGrain vinyl fences do not require much maintenance. A power wash here and there is enough to keep up with the aesthetics.
Our vinyl fences won’t warp: Wooden fences typically warp under the extreme climates of Utah. Treating the wood would maintain the pristine look, but its strength would diminish over time. The strength of our wood grain vinyl privacy fence comes from its flexibility. They don’t just hold their shape but can last longer as well. When exposed to the intense sun of Utah, vinyl fences do not warp, break, or sag, and they can remain strong for numerous years. Whereas under fluctuating temperatures, wooden fences will chip and lose their strength.
Wood finishes harm the environment: Wood rot is often combated with clear finishes like varnish or lacquer. The reality is that these artificial finishes consist of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) that can cause health issues and air pollution. Lacquers and varnishes are typically a mixture of harmful binders that adds to their durability. In addition, they contain petroleum-derived solvents that can harm you and the environment. Our vinyl fences are far away from these niggling issues. Vinyl fences are recyclable, lead-free, and non-toxic, and the durability of vinyl makes them an eco-friendly choice in the long run. So, instead of cutting down the trees and manufacturing wooden fences – choose the vinyl material now!
Insects and moisture hasten decay: Do you know what happens when wooden fences are exposed to moisture over a long period of time? Well, delignification occurs, which is a process of breaking the tissues apart. The process is further hastened by salt water. Another problem common to wooden fences is termites and beetles. They tunnel through wood and lay their eggs inside them. Once the larva hatches, they eat away at the wood, thus weakening the wooden structure.
We are proud to say that our supremely designed vinyl privacy fence is moisture-resistant, termite-resistant, and 100% waterproof. So, moisture, termites, beetles, and other elements do not stand a chance with our fences.
A lifetime warranty backs our vinyl fences: Wooden fences have a finite lifespan, and once the time is up, you need to replace them for good. Lumber is available in varying qualities. So, the exact date might vary to some extent. However, with proper maintenance, wooden fences in Utah can last as long as 10 years, but the maintenance cost is huge.
Duramax’s vinyl privacy fence in Utah can last as long as 30 to 50 years with minimal care. Thus, the longevity of these fences is simply unrivaled.
