Placeholder ImageHelping Your Vinyl Fence Last Longer Find out what you can do to increase the lifespan of your vinyl fence.

Getting the perfect fence for your house is no easy task. You have to consider the weather conditions your home faces, how much maintenance the fence will need, how the fence will look, and so much more. Many people like the idea of having a vinyl fence on their properties, and for good reason. They’re strong, low-maintenance, and nowadays, they even have many design options that help them look nicer.

If you’ve installed a vinyl fence already, you’re not going to want to replace it any time soon. The longer your fence lasts, the more value you get out of it. So how can you extend your fence’s lifespan? Find out what you can do to increase the lifespan of your vinyl fence.

Pick a Good Spot to Install Your Vinyl Fence

The spot where you choose to install your fence can significantly influence how long it lasts. Think about the environment when considering where you should get it installed. Places with many trees and swampy terrain aren’t as suitable for fences, and their lifespans can be shortened if you choose to install them in those conditions.

Instead, pick a location that has very few trees, and be sure there is solid ground. These conditions are more optimal for your fence installation.

Make Sure the Installation is Properly Done

A proper installation sets up your vinyl fence for maximum longevity. There are tips to follow to ensure the installation is done correctly. Firstly, fence posts shouldn’t be installed too closely to each other. This keeps the fence from being as flexible as it could be, which hinders its ability to endure strong winds.

Also, when digging holes to plant your fence posts, those holes need to have sufficient depth. A fencing company can give you advice on the appropriate depth for these holes.

Lastly, the corner posts should get installed before any other posts. Getting the installation done by a professional fencing company can be helpful to ensure you get the most longevity out of your vinyl fence.

Perform Inspections and Maintenance Regularly

Your vinyl fence will have to be given proper care to help it last longer. To start, make sure you’re washing it 2-4 times per year. A garden hose is all you require for the job.

You should also perform a minimum of two inspections every year so you can detect signs of damage before they get out of control. This way, you can handle problems while they are smaller and more manageable.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
