Re: Cedar PVC fence

I don't have one yet - but I ordered it and am having it installed next month.

Pros - I like the way it looks and it's even lower maintenance than white PVC since it won't get grass/tree stains (well it will, but you won't see it as much)

Cons - quality. You must shop around and do homework on quality. Ensure the company has done long-term weather testing and ask them for local addresses to go to houses where it was installed 1+ years ago. Each section should be 7' instead of 8' because the color absorbs the heat more and could warp. You also want to find out if it's a paint mix in the color or the image 'stickers'. To be honest, I've heard pros and cons for both types so you have to just go with what makes you comfortable there.

HTH!

Oh wow - I love this fence! I usually go with wood because I really hate the look of a white PVC fence, but this is beautiful!

Let me know who you end up going with!
