Vinyl / PVC Fences

The Benefits of Vinyl Fencing

If you want a fence that looks perfect without the work, vinyl delivers. No painting. No staining. No scraping or sanding. Just an occasional spray with the garden hose to keep it clean. For busy homeowners who'd rather spend weekends enjoying their yard instead of maintaining it, vinyl makes perfect sense.

Modern vinyl fencing looks fantastic too. Gone are the days of flimsy plastic fences that yellowed and cracked. Today's vinyl fences are engineered to withstand Minnesota weather, resist fading, and maintain their crisp appearance for decades. You get the classic look of painted wood without ever touching a paintbrush.

Vinyl Fence Styles and Colors

We install vinyl fences in styles that match any home aesthetic. Whether you prefer traditional or contemporary, we've got options that work beautifully with your property.

Popular Vinyl Fence Choices:

• Privacy fences with tongue-and-groove boards for complete seclusion
• Picket fences in various heights and picket styles
• Semi-privacy fences with decorative spacing between boards
• Ranch rail fences for open property boundaries
• Pool fences that meet safety codes without blocking views

White remains the most popular color, delivering that clean, classic fence look. But vinyl comes in many colors now. Tan, gray, and brown tones blend naturally with landscaping and complement different home exteriors. Some styles even mimic wood grain texture for a more natural appearance.

Quality matters with vinyl. We use heavy-duty vinyl with reinforced rails and posts. Cheaper vinyl cracks in cold weather and sags in heat. Our materials are engineered specifically for climates like ours, with UV inhibitors to prevent fading and impact modifiers for cold-weather durability.

How Vinyl Compares to Other Materials

Vinyl costs more upfront than wood, but over the fence's lifetime, vinyl often costs less. You'll never pay for staining, painting, or regular maintenance. Most vinyl fences last 30 years or more with almost no care beyond occasional cleaning.

Unlike wood, vinyl doesn't rot, split, or attract insects. It won't rust like metal. It's a true set-it-and-forget-it solution. For homeowners planning to stay in their homes long-term, the low maintenance and longevity make vinyl an excellent investment.

That said, vinyl isn't perfect for every situation. It can crack if hit hard by a lawnmower or falling branch, though quality vinyl resists normal impacts well. Damaged sections usually require replacing entire panels rather than just a board or two like with wood. We'll discuss all the pros and cons so you can choose what works best for your needs.

Professional Vinyl Fence Installation

Vinyl installation requires precision. The posts must be perfectly plumb and properly spaced, or the panels won't fit correctly. We've installed hundreds of vinyl fences and know exactly how to handle Minnesota soil conditions and weather.

Every post gets set in concrete below the frost line to prevent heaving. We use proper bracing and allow for thermal expansion so the fence performs well in both summer heat and winter cold. Our professional fence installation process ensures your vinyl fence stays straight and sturdy for decades. We also handle vinyl fence repairs if damage does occur. Exploring other options?
