Does vinyl fencing turn yellow over time?

Modern vinyl fencing is UV-stabilized and does not yellow. The commercial-grade PVC we install is warranted against fading, yellowing, and discoloration. Cheap big-box vinyl can yellow — we only install professional-grade product.

Can vinyl fencing handle Indiana winters?

Yes. The vinyl we install is formulated for Midwest climates — it flexes rather than cracking in extreme cold. The main risk is a direct impact on a cold day (e.g., a snowplow hit), which can crack a panel. Standard weather and temperature swings are no problem.

What colors does vinyl fencing come in?

White is by far the most popular and most available. Tan/almond is the second most common. Some manufacturers offer gray, clay, and wood-grain textures at premium pricing. We'll show you all available options during your estimate.
