When choosing railings for your property, the decision often comes down to vinyl railings versus wood railings. Each material offers distinct advantages and drawbacks, depending on your aesthetic preferences, budget, and maintenance expectations. Here, we compare vinyl and wood railings in detail to help you make an informed decision that suits your needs.
Vinyl: Resistant to weather, insects, and rot, with a lifespan of several decades.
Wood: Prone to damage from moisture, insects, and UV rays, with a lifespan of 10-20 years depending on maintenance.
Vinyl: Requires minimal upkeep; occasional cleaning with soap and water.
Wood: Demands regular painting, staining, and sealing to prevent deterioration.
Vinyl: Offers a clean, modern look with various styles and colors but lacks the natural charm of wood.
Wood: Provides a warm, classic aesthetic with customizable designs and natural grain patterns.
Vinyl: Higher initial investment but lower long-term costs due to minimal maintenance.
Wood: Lower upfront cost but higher ongoing expenses for maintenance and repairs.
Vinyl: Made from synthetic materials but recyclable; long lifespan reduces waste.
Wood: A renewable resource, but treatments and shorter lifespan may offset its eco-friendly benefits

Recently bought a new home and I needed a fence. Wanted something with long life and low maintenance that looks great and a vinyl fence seemed like the way to go. Contacted Jerry at Vinyl-fence.ca and we are so happy with his product and installation. He took care to minimize damage to our newly sodded lawn and the new fence looks amazing. Jerry is very knowledgeable about his product and he has a great sense of humor and is an absolute joy to work with.

We recently had Jerry install a new privacy fence for us. We were super happy with the work that he did and the quality of the fence that he installed. If you’re looking to have a fence installed and Ridgeway, Fort Erie, or the Niagara region I would strongly suggest giving Jerry a call.
