Let’s talk about the number first, because most people calling about vinyl already suspect it: vinyl is our most expensive fencing material. We’d rather you know that going in than have it catch you off guard mid-estimate. What often gets lost in that sticker shock is what you’re actually paying for: decades of a fence that doesn’t need staining, sealing, or the periodic upkeep wood eventually demands.
What a Vinyl Fence Installation Includes
A Backyard Borders vinyl installation is built to last with almost no maintenance on your end.
- Solid privacy panels or picket-style vinyl: depending on whether you want a full visual barrier or a lighter boundary
- Reinforced posts: set to handle Tennessee’s weather swings without warping or leaning
- Matching gates: sized and hung to fit your layout, see our fence gate installation page for more
- White or colored panel options: so the fence matches your property rather than standing out from it
We quote every vinyl job based on the actual property, the run length, terrain, gate count, and style, not a flat per-foot rate that gets adjusted once we’re on site.
Why the Higher Price Tag Actually Pays Off
Wood needs periodic staining or sealing to hold up. Chain link is durable but doesn’t offer privacy. Vinyl sits in a different category: once it’s installed correctly, it holds its color and structure for years with essentially no maintenance from you. For homeowners who want privacy without a recurring weekend project, that trade-off is usually worth the higher upfront cost. We don’t mark up materials heavily on any fence we install, vinyl included, so while it’s still the priciest option on our list, you’re not paying an inflated margin on top of an already premium material. Our vinyl fence cost guide walks through real numbers, and our vinyl fence care and lifespan FAQ covers exactly what that low-maintenance promise looks like day to day.
Installation, Start to Finish
On-Site Estimate
We visit the property to measure and walk the fence line before quoting a vinyl job. Vinyl’s panel sizing makes an accurate in-person look especially useful.
Walkthrough and Sign-Off
We walk the line with you before we start and again once the fence is complete, and you sign off at both points.

Frequently Asked Questions
Vinyl is our highest-cost fencing material, priced based on your property’s length, terrain, style, and gate count rather than a flat per-foot rate. We’ll walk you through the real number during your estimate so there’s no surprise later.
Vinyl fencing is built to last for decades with very little upkeep, since it doesn’t rot, rust, or need repainting the way wood and some metals can over time.
Very little. Occasional washing to keep it looking clean is typically all that’s needed, with no staining, sealing, or repainting required the way there is with wood.
Yes. Every vinyl fence comes with a manufacturer warranty, and if a problem develops because of the installation itself, we’ll come back and fix it at no charge.
Solid vinyl privacy panels create a complete visual and physical barrier, making it a strong option for containing pets and keeping young kids from wandering toward a street or neighboring property.
