Advantages and Disadvantages of Vinyl Fencing



            Vinyl fencing has increased in popularity over the recent years. It has many benefits over traditional wood or chain link fences. There are pros and cons to vinyl material that you should consider before purchasing a fence. There are varieties of styles and colors to choose from to create the fence you envision. A vinyl fence can make your property more aesthetically pleasing and increase its value.

Advantages

• Durability. Vinyl is a much more durable product than wood. It doesn't rot or rust and resists all types of weather. It is a great choice for areas of high humidity and salty air.

Low Maintenance. Unlike wood, vinyl does not need to be painted or stained to be preserved. It is a plastic material. It is easy to clean; just look at our previous posts for cleaning tips. Vinyl will maintain its original conditions for years to come! See the chart below for cleaning tips.



• Green. No it is not the color green to the eye, it is an environmentally friendly material. Vinyl fences from Best Fence of Jacksonville are made from non-toxic chemicals, both beneficial to your family and Mother Nature. In addition, vinyl requires less resources to manufacture, utilizes less energy to produce, and has low emissions.

Disadvantages

• Cost. Yes, vinyl does cost more money up front. It is more expensive than wood or chain link, however, it will end up being cheaper in the long run. With little to no repairs, replacements, or painting needed, you will actually spend less over time compared to other materials.   
    
• Difficult to Repair. If part of you fence does endure damage, it may be more difficult to replace the damaged area. A professional may be required to replace the damaged posts or even a small section of the fence. Visit http://www.bestfencejax.net/contactus.asp for a FREE estimate.

Ideas to Create a Dog Friendly Backyard



Fence. Install a fence to keep your dog in sight and to help keep other critters out of your yard. A fenced in yard allows Fido to roam free without going too far, all the while adding style to your outdoor design.

Water. Add a water feature to the backyard. It will provide your little pup with all the water he or she needs. Hire a professional to install a small fountain, stream, or waterfall. It will give your yard a sense of tranquility too!



Shelter. Snoopy loved his dog house and your dog will too. Dogs tend to seek shade during the warmer months to keep cool with all that fur. Dogs can even get sunburn and dehydrated. Have some fun and build an unordinary, creative design.


Safe Plant Life. Do not plant any vegetation that has thorns or spurs. In addition keep the yard poison ivy and toxin-free. Dogs tend to eat whatever may peek their interest.

Ground Material. Grass is probably a dog’s favorite type of terrain. If you decide to put rock, pavers, concrete, or wood decking in the yard, be mindful and use a lighter colored material. You don’t want the pup’s little paws getting scorched by the hot sun.
