It also adds security to your property while the solid vinyl fence panels can use a slat design that mimics the effect of wood and be topped with attractive lattice designs.
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.
PVC is a popular type of vinyl and is a commonly used material because it is inexpensive and durable. This often leads to the two terms “vinyl fencing” and “PVC fencing” being used interchangeably.
However, many vinyl fences contain other formulations of vinyl to deliver the required performance over the long-term.
