Hillcrest Fences

It was a pleasure installing your vinyl fence in winter Haven Florida. Like we mentioned the beauty of having a PVC fence is that you can wash it with water and mild soap. You do not need and should not paint a PVC fence like the one you have in winter Haven Florida.

The fence posts holes that we dug in Lakeland Florida today are actually representative of our experience in running into obstacles while digging fence posts holes. On average, like for this PVC fence install in Lakeland Florida, we run into obstacles 2 out of 10 times. These obstacles are mostly pipes for irrigation and are not identified by Florida 811 so hiring a licensed and insured fence contractor like Hillcrest Fence is a great idea to asve you trouble!

The top and bottom rails in a PVC fence like the one we installed in Lakeland FL are the same. The only difference is that the bottom PVC fence rail has the slot oriented up and you direct the upper PVC fence rail with the slot towards the bottom. This way, you can insert your PVC fence pickets inside the slots and hold them in place.

You have to check the maximum PVC fence height in your city by calling Auburndale Florida. You also have to check if you have an HOA as they usually have their requirements. In general, in Polk County Florida, the maximum height for a backyard PVC fence is 6 feet and in the front if allowed is like 4 feet but you definitely need to check the heights accepted before you have your PVC fence installed in Auburndale FL.

With the Winter Garden Florida weather being so intense with heavy rain and strong winds and sometimes hurricanes, we recommend that all your fence posts whether they be PVC, aluminum, wood or chain link be strongly anchored with a solid amount of concrete. On the long run, you will not regret having solidified your fence posts in Winter Garden Fl with a good dose of concrete when mother nature tests it! .😁

A wood fence in Kissimmee Florida can add great value and beauty to your vacation home. Wood fences require more maintenance like regular staining or painting or even waterproofing.

To be more certain that your new wood fence in Kissimmee Florida is ready to be stained or painted, you can do a sprinkle test.

The longevity of your fence depends on how well you take care of it but in general, here is our answer: Aluminum will last the longest and requires little repairs and maintenace, Iron is second best and will require occasional repairs, Chain-link will give you solidity but may rust on the long run, Pvc might need pressure washing on occasions but will give you decades of worry-free fence, Wood is the kind of fence that will require the most maintenance with either paint, pressure washing, treatment, etc Eventually, the fence posts might also need replacement but you will still have a long time of enjoying your fence in Winter Garden Florida. Considering that most people live in the same house for 10 to 20 years, the overall durability fo your fence should be a minor consideration for you when you decide which type of fence you want installed on your property in Winter Garden Florida.😁

In order of resistance, even though every experience is different. Aluminum fences even though they are lightweight offer a good resistance to the florida climate. Iron fences are strong and classy and very resistant to wind and rain. They can be a little costly though. A Chain-link fence offers solidity and resistance to wind and rain in Polk County Florida. They do tend to rust over time. A PVC fence offers beauty and solidity but has a limited lifetime in decades. A wood fence does not tolerate well repeated moisture and wind. It tends to get molded on the long run. That said, Hillcrest Fences has installed many wood fences and their owners were very happy with their new fence. Any type of fence can offer good resistance against wind and Florida rain if isntalled properly like we do at Hillcrest Fences of Polk County Florida. We pay special attention to deep post digging and use a generous quantity of concrete! That being said, of course, no fence is guaranteed in case of a tornado!

As much as we hate those answers starting with "it depends" this is the case!🤣On installation, a wood fence in Lakeland Florida would cost less than a PVC fence. On the long run though, you have to take into account that you will need to treat the wood fence and/or paint it regularly and maybe change some posts that will have rotted in the ground. Overall, the decision to install a wood fence or a PVC fence in Lakeland Florida is really dependent on the owner's choice. What do you prefer?

If you are considering a fence installation in Davenport Florida, your fence's duration will depend on many elements.

That said, either fence will provide you security and beauty for decades unless there is a hurricane or tornado in the Davenport Florida area.

The short answer is that a PVC fence costs pretty much the same as an aluminum fence in polk County Florida. A wood fence would be less expensive to install but if you add the maintenance, paint, repairs, a wood fence ends-up costing close to a PVC or aluminum fence.
