One of the advantages of vinyl fencing is that it comes ready to use. No painting or refinishing is needed; just dig your holes, mix some cement and start piecing the fence together. Thanks to the UV inhibitors in most vinyl fencing, the color you choose will retain its luster and shine regardless of the climate and weather conditions.
The best and hardiest of vinyl fences are usually offered in lighter shades. White is definitely the most popular color, but you can also get light gray and a light coffee-like tan. All of these colors are consistent from one piece to the other, enabling your fence to blend seamlessly with any accessories you may wish to add.
On the Light Side
There are people whod like darker colors in vinyl fences, but most reputable companies dont offer them. The reason for that is purely scientific. Even when the vinyl fence has UV inhibitors, dark colors inevitably fade and deteriorate faster than light colors. Unfortunately, at this time, manufacturers have yet to concoct a vinyl formula that can protect and retain those colors as efficiently as they preserve the lighter tones. So, while there may be companies that do sell darker colors, they likely wont offer multi-year or lifetime guarantees on them.
Thats one of the main advantages of vinyl fences over wooden fences. Not only are vinyl fences practically maintenance-free, but their color never yellows or fades. Thanks to the use of titanium dioxide in the outer layer of the better vinyl fences, the suns ultraviolet rays wont affect their color and durability.
