Frequently Asked Questions
What type of fence is best for a backyard?
Composite and PVC/vinyl fences are strong low-maintenance choices for residential backyards.
Composite fencing is particularly suitable when you want a wood-inspired appearance, while PVC and vinyl are strong options when minimal maintenance and full privacy are priorities.
The best system depends on appearance, privacy, budget and project design.
What is a composite fence?
Composite fencing uses engineered composite boards rather than traditional lumber.
The system can combine composite infill boards with aluminum structural components to create low-maintenance privacy and architectural fence designs.
What is the difference between PVC and vinyl fencing?
There is generally very little difference in how the terms are used by consumers.
PVC means polyvinyl chloride, the material used to manufacture vinyl fencing.
For practical shopping purposes, “PVC fence” and “vinyl fence” usually describe the same broad material family.
What is a PVC aluminum-framed fence?
A PVC aluminum-framed fence uses PVC privacy boards inside an aluminum structural frame.
The combination provides the low-maintenance characteristics of PVC with a stronger architectural frame around each fence section.
Which requires less maintenance: composite or vinyl fencing?
Both are low-maintenance compared with traditional wood.
PVC/vinyl fencing generally requires very little ongoing maintenance, while composite fencing is also designed to eliminate routine staining and painting.
Normal cleaning is recommended for both materials.
Does composite fencing look like wood?
Composite fence products can use wood-grain textures and wood-inspired colours to reproduce the appearance of natural lumber.
This is one of the main reasons homeowners choose composite rather than conventional PVC.
Where can I buy fence materials in the GTHA?
