The Fence That Surprises People Up Close
The first time I saw a vinyl fence up close, I was genuinely surprised by how solid it felt. I had assumed it would be lightweight and flimsy, the kind of thing that looks fine in photos but wobbles in a strong wind. That is not the case at all. A properly installed vinyl fence is dense, heavy, and built to hold its shape for decades without the maintenance that wood requires.
