Vinyl is a chemical compound made up of ethylene and chlorine. Combined these two materials create the synthetic Polyvinyl Chloride, colloquially known as PVC or simply vinyl. Vinyl is the second most common plastic resin sold in the entire world. It is commonly used in construction in a lot of different ways, including but not limited to fencing.

Vinyl fences come in many different designs and colors. Vinyl fences can be tall privacy fences with close slats that are designed to block sight lines. They can also be picket style fences with more spaced-out slats that are more for keeping pets or children in your yard, or even just for decoration. If decoration is the goal you have for your fence, then there are many options for accents and add-ons such as lattice, scallop tops, or decorative post caps that have a range of ornamentation.

There are also plenty of color choices with vinyl fencing. There are the neutral options such as whites, greys, browns, and black. Additionally, you could go with a more colorful green, blue, or red. There are also options that imitate wood and stucco with little empirical difference between the vinyl fencing and the real deal. Vinyl is incredibly flexible in its design and decorative effects.
