A good quality vinyl fence is virtually maintenance free and will last a lifetime. When initially shopping for a fence, you may be lured by the price of wood, as  it’s often quite a bit cheaper out of the gate.

Vinyl really is the least expensive option over the long haul. Need proof? Check out this infographic.
