The long-lasting vinyl fence lifespan, in addition to its classic beauty and low maintenance, makes this fence material great for privacy, pool, pet, and front yard fences.<\/p>\n The average vinyl fence lifespan for a privacy fence is about 50 years<\/strong>. To make it even better, vinyl fences installed by Smucker Fencing come standard with a limited lifetime warranty. Of course, regular cleaning and gentle usage will help it look great the entire time, too!<\/p>\n While you may picture vinyl fences as having the traditional white picket style, 2019 has been a year of breakthrough and there are now several new vinyl fencing colors and styles<\/a>!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0 Aluminum Fence Lifespan <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s a lot to love about an aluminum fence \u2013 the sleek look, the maintenance-free luxury, and of course, the unsurpassed durability!
