To get the most value out of your new fencing project, you must put a lot of energy into planning it. It needs to be more than just a fence. Sure any fence can delineate your property boundaries, but your fence will have more work than that: securing your property, confining your pets, protecting your privacy, and more.
Cedar and vinyl are two popular fencing options.
The right fence for you may be completely different than the right fence for your neighbor. If you’re at the point of choosing your fencing material and you’ve narrowed it down a bit, we can help you choose between cedar and vinyl!
Cedar Fencing
If you have your heart set on wooden fencing, cedar might be better than pine or a similar choice. Wooden fencing is a traditional and secure option that requires yearly maintenance. Wooden fencing usually has the lowest up-front cost, but upkeep increases the overall cost. For cedar, you will pay more up-front than other wood types, but not as much as you would for vinyl.
Cedar is also a lovely material, so it is a good choice if you’re looking for a boost in property value. This is especially true in very natural areas, where a vinyl fence would stick out. A cedar fence might complement it better than vinyl if your home siding is a natural material, like shingles.
Vinyl Fencing
Vinyl will fit the bill if you’re looking for the best material for your DIY fencing project. It comes in pre-fabricated panels that are easy to install. Vinyl has a higher up-front cost for materials, but you have to do so little maintenance that over the life of the fence, the cost difference becomes almost negligible.
Vinyl is a good fit for homes with vinyl siding since the two complements each other. Additionally, you may be able to get your vinyl fencing in a matching shade. On the other hand, if you replace your siding and change the color drastically, you will no longer have a matching fence, and while it can be painted, vinyl is not designed for it.
