Vinyl suits a salty, sunny coast in one way: it won't rot or rust. The trade-off is wind. A solid vinyl privacy fence presents a big flat face to the breeze, so the posts and reinforcement do the real work.
What to ask
- How are panels locked into posts, and what reinforces gate posts?
- What does the warranty say about wind and UV?
- Is a semi-privacy style an option, to let some wind through?
- Can one damaged panel be replaced on its own?
Price
Angi's national range is $15 to $40 per linear foot.
