Why Vinyl Fencing Is the Perfect Choice for Your Property
When it comes to selecting the ideal fencing material for your property, the choices can be overwhelming. From traditional wood to modern aluminum, each material offers distinct advantages. However, vinyl fencing stands out as a top contender for many homeowners and property managers. Its unique blend of durability, low maintenance, and aesthetic appeal makes it highly attractive. Additionally, vinyl fencing offers excellent safety and security features. Here’s why vinyl fencing is the perfect choice for your property.
1. Durability
Vinyl fencing is renowned for its exceptional durability. Unlike wood, which can rot, warp, or be infested by termites, vinyl is impervious to these issues. It’s designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including intense sunlight, heavy rain, and strong winds. This means your vinyl fence will maintain its structural integrity and appearance for years to come, making it a long-term investment that pays off.
2. Low-Maintenance
One of the most significant advantages of vinyl fencing is its low-maintenance requirements. Unlike wood fences that need regular staining, painting, or sealing, vinyl fences require minimal upkeep. A simple wash with soap and water is usually sufficient to keep your vinyl fence looking new. This ease of maintenance saves you time, effort, and money in the long run.
3. Aesthetic Appeal
Vinyl fencing is available in a wide range of styles, colors, and textures, allowing you to choose a design that complements your property’s aesthetic. Whether you prefer the classic look of a white picket fence, the elegance of a privacy fence, or the charm of a ranch-style fence, vinyl offers versatile options to suit any taste. Additionally, vinyl fences do not fade or lose their color over time, ensuring that your property always looks its best.
4. Safety and Security
Safety is a crucial consideration when choosing a fence, especially for families with children or pets. Vinyl fencing is an excellent choice for providing a secure and safe environment. The solid construction of vinyl fences means there are no gaps for small animals to squeeze through or for intruders to exploit. Furthermore, vinyl is a non-toxic material, so you don’t have to worry about harmful chemicals leaching into the soil or posing a risk to your family and pets.
5. Eco-Friendly Option
Vinyl fencing is an environmentally friendly choice for several reasons. First, it is made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which is a recyclable material. Many manufacturers use recycled vinyl in their products, reducing the demand for new raw materials. Additionally, the long lifespan and low maintenance requirements of vinyl fencing mean fewer resources are needed for repairs or replacements. This sustainability makes vinyl fencing a responsible choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.
6. Cost-Effectiveness
While the initial cost of vinyl fencing may be higher than some other materials, its long-term cost-effectiveness is undeniable. The durability and low maintenance of vinyl fences mean you will save money on repairs, replacements, and upkeep over the years. Moreover, the value that a well-maintained, attractive fence adds to your property can offset the initial investment, making vinyl fencing a financially wise choice.
7. Ease of Installation
Vinyl fencing is designed for straightforward installation. Many vinyl fence systems come with interlocking panels that are easy to assemble, even for DIY enthusiasts. The lightweight nature of vinyl makes it easier to handle and maneuver during installation, reducing the labor and time required. For those who prefer professional installation, the process is typically quicker and less labor-intensive compared to other fencing materials, which can translate to lower installation costs.
8. Versatility
Vinyl fencing’s versatility is another reason it’s a popular choice. It can be used for various applications, from privacy fencing and decorative borders to pool enclosures and garden trellises. The adaptability of vinyl fencing allows you to customize your property according to your specific needs and preferences, providing both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
9. Resistant to Pests and Decay
Unlike wood, vinyl fencing is impervious to pests such as termites and carpenter ants. This resistance to pests not only prolongs the lifespan of your fence but also ensures that it remains structurally sound and attractive over time. Additionally, vinyl does not decay or rust, making it an ideal choice for areas with high humidity or frequent rainfall.
10. Increased Property Value
A well-maintained, attractive fence can significantly enhance the curb appeal and value of your property. Vinyl fencing, with its durability, low maintenance, and aesthetic versatility, is an excellent choice for boosting your property’s marketability. Potential buyers or renters will appreciate the added privacy, security, and visual appeal that a vinyl fence provides, making your property more desirable.
11. Weather Resistance
Vinyl fencing is highly resistant to weather-related damage. Unlike wood, which can splinter or crack in extreme temperatures, vinyl remains stable and intact regardless of the weather. This makes it an excellent choice for properties in areas with harsh climates, whether it’s scorching summers or freezing winters. Vinyl fencing doesn’t absorb moisture, so it won’t swell or warp after heavy rain or snow. This resilience ensures your fence will look great and function well year-round.
12. Variety of Designs
Vinyl fencing comes in a wide variety of designs, allowing you to find the perfect match for your property’s style. Whether you prefer a sleek, modern look or a more traditional design, there’s a vinyl option to meet your needs. From lattice-topped panels to decorative post caps, the customization options are extensive. This variety ensures that your fence not only serves its functional purpose but also enhances the overall aesthetic of your property.
13. Noise Reduction
Vinyl fencing can also serve as a noise barrier, making it a great choice for properties in busy or noisy areas. The solid panels can help reduce sound transmission, creating a quieter and more peaceful environment. This is particularly beneficial for homes near busy roads or commercial areas, where noise pollution can be a concern. A vinyl fence can help you enjoy your outdoor space without the constant intrusion of outside noise.
14. Privacy
Privacy is often a key consideration when choosing a fence, and vinyl fencing excels in this area. The solid, opaque panels of a vinyl privacy fence provide complete seclusion, blocking the view into your yard from the outside. This is ideal for creating a private oasis in your backyard where you can relax and enjoy your outdoor space without worrying about prying eyes. Vinyl fencing ensures your personal space remains personal.
15. Fire Resistance
Vinyl fencing is also fire-resistant, adding an extra layer of safety to your property. Unlike wood, which can easily catch fire and spread flames, vinyl is not combustible. This fire resistance makes it a safer option for areas prone to wildfires or for properties where fire safety is a particular concern. By choosing vinyl fencing, you’re not only protecting your property’s appearance but also enhancing its overall safety.

Its durability, low maintenance, aesthetic appeal, safety, eco-friendliness, cost-effectiveness, ease of installation, versatility, resistance to pests and decay, and potential to increase property value all contribute to its popularity among homeowners and property managers alike.
If you’re looking for a fencing solution that combines practicality with beauty, vinyl fencing is the perfect choice. Its long-lasting nature and minimal upkeep requirements ensure that you can enjoy a beautiful, functional fence for years to come, making it a smart investment for your property.

Wood Fence vs. Vinyl Fence: Comparing the Two
Why Wood May Not be the Best Option
The wood fence has been around since day one. Today, technology and new materials have changed the fencing world and now there are more options, than ever when it comes to your fence material. Don’t get us wrong, wood fences look amazing! We still offer a wood fence option but we recommend something else because of what hardships come with a wood fence.
Problems with Wood Fence
Wood fences are not easy. They are quite difficult to handle. Wood fences must be treated, painted or stained on a regular basis. We estimate that the owner of a wood fence is going to spend time and money painting or staining every few years to maintain the fence’s appearance and to protect the wood fence from weathering. Wood fencing that is exposed to the elements of California will eventually rot over time, creating a less stable fence with a short lifespan.
If you still decide you want a wood fence, that’s okay. We offer a very nice wood fence product. But we believe we have an alternative you will like more.
A Better Option
At Saddleback Fence and Vinyl Products, we want to provide you with the best fence solution for your project. If you are interested in a wood fence, we suggest you look at our Bufftech woodgrain vinyl fence also known as Certagrain vinyl. This fence eliminates the problems that are notoriously associated with a wood fence. Plus, it looks and feels like wood!
Bufftech woodgrain vinyl fencing material is virtually maintenance free. It won’t warp, rot, splinter, peel or blister like a traditional wood fence. It never needs sanding, staining or painting. Occasionally, it will need to be rinsed with a garden hose. That is all you must do to keep it looking its best.
Our woodgrain vinyl fence is stronger and more flexible than wood. To be exact it is five times stronger and four times more flexible than wood, allowing it to absorb the impact of everyday run-ins by lawnmowers or tree branches. Each woodgrain vinyl fence is built with precision-routed rails to ensure a safe, secure picket attachment and easy assembly giving you more support and security than a traditional wood fence.
Worried about the color of the fence? Our woodgrain fence is made and stained with ColorLast by CertainTeed. It is the only dark color fade protection, “an acrylic formulation that provides superior protection from the harsh rays of the sun.” (Certainteed)
What about pricing? Isn’t vinyl more expensive?
How Does Wood Compare to Vinyl?
If you look at the cost of a wood fence and a vinyl fence, the initial cost of vinyl is going to be a little bit higher. But in approximately 20 years, the cost of maintaining a wood fence will be 75% more expensive than the initial price of a vinyl fence. Look at this article by Bufftech.
In this same article, you can see the separation of performance features. The chart shows the features of differences between Bufftech (woodgrain vinyl) and wood.
The top reasons why vinyl is better than wood are its durability, low maintenance, and has a great warranty.

Everything You Need to Know About Vinyl
History of the Fence
Since the early days of human history, owning property has been a thing to be grasped. Most of the time the property would be secured and divided by a wood fence. There wasn’t a traditional wood fence we see today. Fences were most likely piles of wood strategically elevated on A-frame wood structures. We know a few ways people in history have utilized fences. Shepherds guarded their sheep, homes were secured, and estate boundaries were set. Much of the same happens today. But with the addition of technology, you have a few more advanced options to choose from.
In 2019, you can choose a classic wood fence. But it will need a lot of maintenance and the cost/benefit doesn’t translate positively. You can choose an aluminum or steel fence but these lack the privacy a home needs. Your next options are a vinyl fence or the new molded fence. Vinyl fence is the one we’re going to continue to focus on. It is a classic and we love all the benefits that come with it.
What is Vinyl?
Vinyl is a premium quality polyvinyl chloride or most recognized as PVC. PVC is a strong and durable plastic material made specifically for longevity in mind. Saddleback’s vinyl products provide excellent impact strength and UV resistance. It won’t rot, warp, split, or splinter. We also give you options to choose from. Saddleback has 2 smooth colorways and 12 more woodgrain textured colorways.

Saddleback’s White Vinyl Fence
We have gone through the process of testing many vinyl products. Most of the products we tested didn’t meet Saddleback standards, but one did.
When we started the process, we were looking for a product we could be proud of, one we knew our customers would love to see every day for a very long time.
The key points we were looking for were durability, low maintenance, and aesthetic.
Durability
Have you ever heard of “shadow fencing”? Shadow fencing is a fence built with material so thin you can see the objects on the other side of the fence. It isn’t completely transparent, but you can tell it’s thin.
At Saddleback, shadow fencing is unacceptable. We tested a batch of vinyl products to see if there was a better option than the one we chose.
Nothing compares.
Here are three reasons Saddleback’s white vinyl fence is the most durable fence on the market.
- Saddleback’s fence is going to last even in the California sun. Our white vinyl fence has a protective layer called ACCU-Shield to reduce oxidation. It also helps prevent sun damage.
- It’s thick. There will be no shadowing with our fence. You can feel the high-quality material.
- We take extra measures to secure your fence. In every vinyl fencing job, our customers will receive two longevity components. We install U-Channel, an additional piece of vinyl that holds the tongue and groove boards in place. And we also install an Aluminum Bottom Stiffener into the bottom rail to prevent your fence from sagging.
Saddleback’s vinyl fence is very durable and low maintenance.
Low to No Maintenance
Saddleback’s white vinyl fence boasts low or no maintenance. Depending on the area you live in, you may need a small amount of maintenance. By maintenance we mean you rinse it off with a hose because it’s a little dirty. Sometimes you don’t have to do anything! Doesn’t that sound nice?
The traditional fence is made of wood. Wood is great but it has its problems. Wood attracts termites. It dries out and rots. And you must stain it on a yearly basis. It is a pain.
We will write about the major differences in the future. So, stay tuned.
Simple, Yet Beautiful
Finally, Saddleback’s white vinyl fence will upgrade the look of your property.
The right fence can improve your property’s overall look. The look of a white vinyl fence is clean and classic. It isn’t gaudy but it stands out.
Our white vinyl fence matches every color home too. It looks great with grey, yellow, blue, black, purple, orange and any other color you can think of.
When we install a fence, we make sure it looks beautiful. Our professional installers have years of experience and a plethora of satisfied customers.
White vinyl fence is a classic.
Simple but beautiful.
