The difference between wood and vinyl fence is that wood fences are held together with screws, nails, or bolts that require frequent upkeep. The veneer on a vinyl fence will eventually wear away and will need to be replaced. Vinyl fence is also much lighter than wood so it's ideal for outdoor installations. If you would like to use vinyl fencing and don't want to make the installation yourself, you should consider hiring a professional from a fence company in Seattle. An expert will ensure that your fence will look great and last for years. You can also protect your investment by adding a decorative edge or edging to the vinyl fencing.
