Picket Fence

A white picket fence has always been emblematic of the American dream. Unfortunately, many homeowners use inadequate materials--like low quality wood or low quality vinyl--to install their picket fences. As a result, sun damage, wind erosion, and other environmental effects prematurely damage these fences, and homeowners are left to pick up the tab for repairs.

At Lifetime Vinyl, we strive to supply our clients with good information so that they can determine the most cost-effective ways to design their picket fences. We can even help you with installation. For instance, if you're putting in a vinyl picket fence, you want to make sure that the concrete posts are 24 to 36 inches deep into the soil, so that the apparatus stays stable and resists impact.

Choosing Vinyl for Your Picket Fence
Our quality vinyl is far superior to wood in terms of long-term cost, maintenance, pest resistance, and so forth. The only downside to setting up a vinyl fence is that paint won't adhere well to the surface. At the same time, this property of vinyl makes it difficult for graffiti artists to vandalize your fence. Indeed, this may explain why more and more apartment complex owners are choosing vinyl fences.

Finally, consider safety elements. Wood can chip, splinter, and crack. The paint used on wood is full of organic toxins, which can leach into the soil during rainstorms and poison your lawn. Conversely, our vinyl fences are made from nontoxic materials. Since there are no chemicals that can be leached into the soil, you can install our vinyl fences in practically any climate.
