Vinyl Fences in Kansas City FAQ

What is the lifespan of vinyl fencing?

The only natural change typically observed in vinyl fencing over time is a slight diminishment of its natural sheen. It is a more durable material than, say, wood and ornamental fencing, designed to last a lifetime.

Does vinyl fade as it ages?

No. Although modern vinyl still loses some of its natural sheen with time, it has been manufactured with a chemical formulation that functions similar to sunscreen. This means it permanently reflects the sun’s rays, retains the fence’s color, and thus fading is not an issue.

What is the strength of vinyl fencing? How about the cost efficiency?

One of the major distinctions between vinyl fencing and fencing made of ornamental steel or wood, built-in flexibility makes these fences resilient to impacts — from tossed balls to animals bumping against the fence.

Vinyl fencing is more price competitive compared to wood and ornamental fencing.

How susceptible is vinyl fencing to burning or breaking?

When it comes to the question of burning, the answer is a short and simple no. The flashpoint of PVC is approximately 900 degrees, so even on the hottest days, vinyl fencing will not catch fire. On the other hand, while vinyl fencing is highly resilient to impacts, it can become damaged if subjected to an unusually strong impact — say, an automobile crash or a rock thrown by a lawnmower. The good news is that damaged fence parts are rare when it comes to vinyl, and they can be easily replaced by our team here at AmeriFence Corporation of Kansas City.

What is the best way to clean a vinyl fence?

Constant exposure to the elements means vinyl fencing will become stained and dirty with time. Fortunately, cleaning is a simple process in most cases. Typically, all you require for a good cleansing is water combined with a mild detergent. For those more stubborn stains, we recommend Soft Scrub, baking soda, or green and steel wool. When it comes to graffiti, vinyl fencing isn’t fully resistant to this kind of vandalism, though it’s similarly to clean with pressure washers or paint thinners. If, at the end of the day, none of the above-mentioned methods pan out, you can try 400 grit sandpaper.

Do you cement vinyl fence posts in Kansas City?

Yes. All vinyl posts are set in pre-mixed wet concrete. Never dry mix with water added after the fact, as this generally does not provide 100% consistency. When setting vinyl fence posts, concrete needs to be placed under and around the fence post.
