Oops! Sorry, I was busy resizing the pictures, so I didn't read your last post. Just ignore my post. :P

I didn't know if the area that is for the horse touched the area that is around the house. My mistake.

Hubby built the fence but it's not our property. He sometimes does "handyman" projects for a private plantation, and some other families.

He says that vinyl fencing is fine for your yard if you are careful with the weedeater, and if you buy the good quality kind. Good quality vinyl fencing is heavier and stronger but it's more expensive. Thin vinyl might get too brittle in cold weather. Sometimes wholesalers offer better quality selection than Lowes and Home Depot. It also depends on how much you want to spend.

It also depends on the style that you want. Are you using privacy fence, or picket fence, or estate fencing, etc.? Also, the style of your house, and what's popular in your neighborhood.

If you see a neighbor that has the kind of fence that you're interested in, maybe you can ask them how they like it?

Hubby's personal opinion:

He likes the easy cleaning of vinyl, and that it never shrinks shape.

He doesn't like the expense of repairing it. For example, if a tree limbs falls on a section and damages it, you have to replace the whole section.

If you do your own installation, vinyl takes more time and work to get perfectly lined up. Wood posts don't need to be cemented in (but can be), but vinyl posts should be cemented in.


It's really your personal decision. Compare the pros and cons, and decide what is more important to you (easy maintenance, appearance, cost, installation, etc.). Your climate is different from our's, so keep that in mind, too.

Thanks so much for more info post here !!!! ;):):)

I have plently to thinking about which choice vivly or wood fence till early before June!!! :D :D

Thanks for posting about fencing I was too thinking about the fencing on my property in the future. :D

I like the vinyl but I have to think about the crack in the winter time plus the snow plow into my fence that my biggest concern.
 
Vinyl fence

Yes , a good vinyl fence is maintenance free for the most part. I make and sell tools used for installation and vinyl fence installs. I can tell you do your research on the many many products available. If you need fence tools, please take a look at our site at http://www.toolguy.com

You know, HOA of these types should be illegal as they interfere with private properties.

People already knew what they were getting into when they moved into a neighborhood with HOA.

Sometimes, HOA is good. Sometimes, HOA is bad. It depends on the situation.

I have a few friends who live in neighborhoods without HOA. Some say it's nice because they don't have to follow rules. Some say they wish they had HOA because of what their neighbors are doing... cluttering their driveways with junk (boats, motorcycles, parking on the grass, etc), cluttering their front yard with lawn ornaments (pink flamingos, statues, etc), not maintaining their lawn (overgrown weeds, tall grass, etc)... anything that makes the neighborhood look bad.

You just have to know what you're getting into when you're going to move into a neighborhood.
 
I think the wood fence has more potential charm and is more durable. Plus, it will look pretty. Nice with the woods you were mentioning. I wouldn't trust vinyl because of the easy damage. If you live in a hot area (I live in Texas) then they are liable to melt and warp under the heat, too. Plus, the wood fence will last for years if the right wood is chosen and installation is done right.

We live in a hot climate (southern South Carolina), and many homes here have vinyl fences. Neither TCS nor I have ever seen or heard about one melting from natural heat.
 
There is house on my street that has a white vinyl fence and it not that old and starting to turn green . I guess you have to wash them to keep it nice looking and that would be cheaper and easier than having to paint it .

I meant distorting. Back in 2011 during that AWFUL heat wave , those fences were all twist and weird looking. However, I think they may have been the cheapo ones.

Yes, white vinyl fences need to be pressure washed because mold will grow on them in damp climates. It's common but easy to take care of. I would rather pressure wash than have to paint. Down here, even if you want to paint a wood fence, you have to lightly pressure wash with a bleach solution first anyway to clean off the mold, let it thoroughly dry, then paint it.

We have a pressure-treated wood privacy fence but we know other family and friends who have vinyl fences. Some neighborhood HOAs allow only vinyl for fences.
