If you are planning on installing a San Diego vinyl fence you should know some of the options available to you. The following six vinyl fence designs are the most popular types of San Diego fence today:
Privacy Fence
The privacy vinyl fence is typically four to six feet tall and consists of solid panels in between posts that restrict anyone from viewing in our out of the fence. The panels can come in a wide range of colors and designs, some even come in realistic wood grain and stone and granite textures.
Semi-privacy Fence
A semi-privacy vinyl fence is similar to a privacy fence with one exception, the panels that are installed in between each post are made up of pickets that are spaced slightly apart enabling a person to view through the fence.
Shadowbox Fence
The shadowbox style of vinyl fence offers a measure of privacy like the privacy and semi-privacy fence, although it is more open and has a more neighborly feel to the design. These fences are typically six feet in height and come in a variety of colors.
Picket Fence
Picket vinyl fences are mostly used to set boundary lines and keep children and pets from leaving an area, like the backyard. They are not a good choice if privacy is your main concern as a picket fence typically stands around four feet high.
Chainlink Vinyl Fence
You can also get a chainlink fence with a vinyl protective coating. This enables you to install a chainlink fence in almost any color you desire. Chainlink is much like a picket fence, where is it used more to mark a boundary and keep children and pets in than it is for privacy.
Rail Fence
A rail fence is the kind of fence you would usually see in the country. It's a great fence to keep horses and cattle penned in. However a vinyl rail fence can add a very pleasing country style look to you home. They range in height from three to five feet.
Once you have decided on the type of fence that best suits your fencing needs, your next step would be to find a contractor or manufacture of vinyl fencing. Like most things you get what you pay for. Since vinyl has many advantages over wood you may never have to replace or repair your fence. Some of the advantages of vinyl fence are as follows:
1 - Vinyl fence will not warp, rust, fade or peel.
2 - Vinyl fences are easy to clean.
3 - There are no splinters when it comes to vinyl fences, which is great if you have children and pets.
4 - Because there are not made from wood vinyl fences will not rot or succumb to termites.
5 - Vinyl fences do not have to be painted or stained.
This is why it is a good idea not to skimp and go cheap. The cheaper the vinyl fence the more prone to damage and environmental wear it will have. If the company you are looking at offers a manufacture warranty, whether it is for a limited time or for the lifetime of the fence, it may very well be worth the extra money for that warranty. This is especially true when you are deciding to install the vinyl fence yourself.
