Vinyl is nontoxic. If you are a pet owner, or have children, and are looking for a safer alternative fence, vinyl is the way to go. Vinyl comes in a variety of assorted colors, textures and styles. Vinyl is a maintenance-free fence that does not warp, rot, split, or fade. Vinyl fencing is also easy to wash, so any surface dirt will easily come off with soap and water, or a periodic spraying from a garden hose. The most common vinyl we use is Ply Gem.
