The Advantages of Building a Vinyl Fence

June 12, 2015

For more than 20 years, Future Outdoors® has been building and installing vinyl fences and shade structures throughout the DFW, Texas area. Often, we get customers asking us what makes vinyl fences so much better than fences built from other materials. Here are just a few of the things that make vinyl fences the best fence you can buy:

They Last Longer than Other Fences

The chief benefit of vinyl fences is that they are tougher and last far longer than fences built of wood or most metals. Vinyl stands up to outdoor elements like sun, rain, wind, and hail better than any other material, and it doesn’t fade or warp over time. Even if you have had your fence for decades, it won’t break down or age. That means that a vinyl fence offers a tremendous amount of value – once you buy it, you won’t have to replace or repair it.

Vinyl Fences Are Virtually Maintenance Free

Another major benefit of vinyl fences is the fact that they take far less maintenance than wooden or metal fences in order to keep them looking brand-new. Here is a comparison of some different fencing materials and the maintenance tasks they require:

  • Very occasional washing with a hose or power washer to remove dirt or grime.


As you can see, vinyl fence requires far less maintenance and upkeep than fences made of other materials. That means you’ll spend less money over time and perform less work to keep your fence looking brand new and beautiful.

Vinyl Fencing Comes With A Variety of Options

One of the most common misconceptions about a vinyl fence is that it all looks the same. In the past this was somewhat true – most vinyl fences came in only a few colors, and there was very little you could do in terms of customization. Today, however, the situation is very different.


With modern vinyl fences you can choose from more than 30 colors and styles, including vinyl that simulates the look and feel of real wood but without the need to paint or stain to keep the fence looking good.


We can also build a vinyl fence in a variety of styles, including privacy, semi-privacy, picket, and ranch rail fence. Plus, since we fabricate our own vinyl, we can customize your fence to your exact specifications including height, base material, color, and style.
