Many homes need fencing to create the desired level of privacy and security. Austin homeowners frequently need a fence to keep their pets in, intruders out, and to accent their backyard landscaping. Your first impulse may be to build a wood fence. Wood fences are beautiful, but they're also far from the strongest or most durable fence you can build. Vinyl fences are nearly indestructible, fire-resistant, pest-resistant, and stay this way indefinitely. This also makes them the most cost-effective option in the long run.
Vinyl Fencing
The one weak link in vinyl fencing is prolonged exposure to sunlight. As an Austinite, this should raise a red flag. Fortunately, adding titanium dioxide to the vinyl protects it from sun damage, making the fence almost entirely impervious to damage. Cold can also reduce the strength of a vinyl fence. This shouldn't be a big issue here in Austin, but using a slightly thicker vinyl should alleviate these concerns. In fact, cheaper, thinner vinyl is also susceptible to being cut, torn, or dented. One of the best reasons for choosing a vinyl fence in Austin is to build a fence that will last as long as you own your home, so don't cheat on these simple vinyl upgrades.
Residential Fences
You might be thinking if vinyl's so great, how come all you see is wood fencing? There's an easy explanation for this. Residential vinyl fencing has only recently come into its own. Ten years ago, vinyl fencing wouldn't have even made it on the radar of many Austin fence contractors. Each year, though, vinyl fencing continues to grab more and more of the residential fencing market. Part of this increased popularity has been a result of a targeted marketing campaign on the part of vinyl fencing manufacturers. Instead of just commercial applications, manufacturers have been developing a residential fencing product line. Picket fences, panel fencing, and wrought iron style fencing are just a few of the vinyl fencing designs available for today?s homeowner. Aesthetics are no longer any reason to avoid vinyl when choosing a fence for your home.
Cost
Vinyl fencing isn't cheap, and vinyl fences in Austin are no different. While the average cost of a wood fence is about $2,000 and the average cost of a metal fence is about $2,500, vinyl fencing typically runs around $3,000. Naturally, these costs are just an average and depending on the size, thickness, and design the exact cost of your project can vary widely. Remember, though, that wood fences need to be resealed and waterproofed every few years, and there's a good chance you'll have to pay a $500 repair once or twice during the lifetime of the fence, while your Austin vinyl fence will still be going strong with virtually no maintenance.
Project Length
The next question most homeowners ask is how long their fence is going to take to build. The answer is not long, probably somewhere between 1-3 days once construction starts. This doesn't mean you should have your fence built tomorrow, though. To get a quality vinyl fence for a reasonable price, you should talk to multiple contractors, get written estimates, and check recent references. Go with the Austin fence contractor you feel you can most trust to do the job right, but don't get lazy once you've decided who you're going to hire. Most of the complaints we hear stem from miscommunication between the homeowner and the Austin fence contractor. If you clearly explain the vision you have for your new vinyl fence, there's no reason your contractor shouldn't be able to build it.
