Styles

Popular Vinyl Fence Styles We Install

These are just a few examples. If you've seen a fence you like, send us a photo send us a photo. We can install just about anything.

Every style below is available in several heights and colors, with matching walk and drive gates. See more examples on our fence styles page.

Solid Privacy

Full 6′ privacy panels for backyards, patios, and pools. The most popular vinyl style we install.

Privacy with Lattice or Spindle Top

A solid lower panel with a decorative open top. Softens a long fence line and lets some light through.

Shadowbox / Semi-Private

Alternating boards on both sides of the rail. Looks finished from either side, which neighbors appreciate.

Picket

Classic 3–4′ picket in straight or scalloped tops for front yards, gardens, and borders.

Ranch Rail

2, 3, and 4-rail post-and-rail vinyl for larger lots, pastures, and long property lines.

Woodgrain Vinyl

The look of cedar or redwood with vinyl's low maintenance. Available in privacy and rail styles.

Heights, Colors & Options

Heights: picket and yard styles are usually 3–5′; privacy fences are most often 6′. Your municipality sets the maximum height, especially in front yards.
Colors: white, tan, khaki, gray, and woodgrain finishes, depending on style.
Gates: matching single walk gates and double drive gates, with self-closing, self-latching hardware for pools.
Accents: decorative post caps, lattice and spindle tops, and scalloped or straight tops.
Pool enclosures: some vinyl yard and picket styles meet Pennsylvania pool-barrier rules. Solid privacy panels need the right gate setup. See our pool fence requirements guide.

Why homeowners choose vinyl

No painting or staining, easy to wash with a hose, won't rot or attract insects, and stays looking clean for many years.

Things to know

Vinyl costs more up front than wood or chainlink, and a damaged panel is replaced rather than patched. Color choice is permanent, since vinyl isn't meant to be painted.

What Affects the Price

Every fence is priced on its own measurements, so we don't publish one-size-fits-all prices. These are the things that move the number up or down:

Total linear footage and the number of corners and ends (each needs a heavier post)
Height and style: full privacy uses more material than picket or ranch rail
Color and finish: woodgrain and specialty colors usually cost more than white
Number and width of gates, and whether you need pool-code hardware
Slope: vinyl panels are stepped or racked to follow grade, which adds labor
Ground conditions: rock and roots are common in Central PA and slow down post holes
Removing and hauling away an old fence

We give free written estimates after seeing your property. Read our fence cost guide for more, or ask about financing.

How It Works

Free on-site estimateWe walk the property with you, measure, talk through materials and styles, and give you a written quote at no charge.
Permits & property linesWe can pull the permit with your municipality for you (or you can pull it yourself), check HOA rules if you have them, and work from your survey so posts go on the right side of the line.
Utility markingPennsylvania law requires a PA One Call (811) request before digging. We handle it, so underground lines are marked before we set a post.
InstallationOld fence removal before install, if you're replacing one. Then posts set to the right depth for Pennsylvania frost, sections set level or stepped to your grade, and gates hung and adjusted.
Walkthrough & cleanupWe walk the finished fence with you, clean up the site, and give you your warranty and care information.

Every install is backed by our 2-year workmanship warranty, with materials covered by the manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty. Warranty details.

Vinyl Fence FAQ

How long does a vinyl fence last?

A quality vinyl fence that's installed correctly typically lasts for decades. The posts and how they're set matter as much as the panels. Materials are covered by the manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty, and our installation is covered by a 2-year workmanship warranty. See our warranty page for details.

Is vinyl or aluminum better for my yard?

Vinyl is the choice for privacy. Aluminum is the choice for an open, ornamental look and for most pool enclosures. We compare them side by side in Vinyl vs. Aluminum: Which Is Better?

Do I need a permit for a vinyl fence?

Many municipalities require one, especially for 6′ privacy fences, front yards, corner lots, and pools. We can pull the permit for you, or you can pull it yourself. Read Do I need a permit for a fence?

Can vinyl handle Pennsylvania winters?

Yes, as long as the posts are set deep enough to resist frost heave. That's one of the most important parts of the install, and it's covered by our workmanship warranty.

How much does a vinyl fence cost?

It depends on footage, height, style, gates, and your yard. We give free written estimates after we see the property. Our fence cost guide explains what drives the price.
