This is often a good design for the front garden of a home or for walkways in parks and recreational areas.
You can achieve the classic white picket fence look or select another design such as a scalloped vinyl picket or straight picket.
Not after the traditional vertical slats in your fence? You can also opt fort horizontal slats to provide a more unique look for your fence.

What are the differences between PVC and vinyl?
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a common form of vinyl used in many ways around the home: from plumbing and electrical insulation to fencing.
