Why Vinyl Fencing


Wood Fencing in Buffalo NY

Alongside decking, the fence industry has also had its fair share of searching to find the ideal fence material. Previously, fence styles, most typically privacy fencing, had been composed of wood or a wood composite.

Initially beautiful and cost effective, wood quickly loses its luster, especially after years of costly maintenance, not limited to sanding, staining, and painting. Even with extensive care, all wood fencing will fade, turn gray, absorb moisture, warp, mold, and mildew, causing the wood to turn green. The aging of a wood fence also brings insects to feed off the mold and rotting wood, leaving you with an insect infestation dangerous to your family and pets when outside, and can eventually work into your home. 

Also, when it comes to wood fencing, most wood is pressure-treated with chemicals that are hazardous, and once moisture is absorbed, the wood loses strength and, after time, eventually rots and falls over.

Wood fencing is also a fire hazard, with the ability to carry a fire. Photos are worth a thousand words, and these photos speak for themselves.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions The Vinyl Outlet customers ask most often before booking a quote.

How much does a vinyl fence installation cost?
Every yard is different — most residential vinyl fence projects at The Vinyl Outlet land between $28 and $55 per linear foot installed, depending on style (privacy vs. picket vs. pool code), post spacing, gate count, and access to the job site. Get a free on-site measurement and we'll walk you through the itemized quote.
How long does a vinyl fence last?
Our vinyl carries a limited lifetime warranty against cracking, peeling, fading and rotting. Vinyl doesn't need paint, stain, sealant or replacement pickets like wood does — expect 30+ years of service with routine wash-downs and nothing else.
Do I need a permit to install a fence?
In most WNY and CNY municipalities, yes — permit requirements and setback rules vary by town. The Vinyl Outlet handles the permit filing for you as part of the install; we'll confirm the local code and any HOA restrictions during your quote.
How long does installation take?
Most residential fence installs finish in 1–3 days once we're on-site. Decks and porches typically take 3–7 days depending on size and railing complexity. Weather and ground conditions can extend the timeline slightly in winter.
Do you install year-round?
Yes. The Vinyl Outlet installs throughout the year, weather permitting. Ground freeze can slow post-setting on the coldest weeks of winter, but we still book quotes and start soil-suitable projects. Spring and fall are our busiest booking windows — schedule early if you want a summer completion date.
