Is Vinyl Fencing Maintenance Free?

Vinyl fencing requires very little maintenance making it an increasingly popular fencing choice for homeowners, property managers and business owners. A vinyl fence does not rot, splinter, rust, become infested or need painting or staining.  A good cleaning with soap and water at least every 24 months may be all that your fence requires to function and look like new. Infrequently, mold, mildew or algae may start to grow on a vinyl fence. If this occurs, hose your fence, and wash your fence with dish soap and water.  Rinse the fence down, and the staining should be gone.

Do Vinyl Fences Weather, Fade or Discolor?

Vinyl fencing may lose a little of its shine over time, but vinyl fencing will not fade.  Environmental elements, such as sun, rain, humidity, and moisture, will have little impact on a vinyl fence. For added protection, ensure the vinyl fencing you select has been manufactured by companies that utilize SolarGuard.  The advanced technology associated with SolarGuard protects your fence from the sun’s harmful rays so the color you choose today will keep a bright, like-new finish for seasons to come.
