Generally, vinyl cost is a bit higher than the wood. Per linear foot, vinyl, for instance, on average sells for between $25 and $40 while the same measurement for wood, sells for $10 to $30. Apart from the prices of material, even in installation, vinyl fence costs are much higher.

There could be many other reasons behind these price variations; however, because vinyl is highly durable, it is more expensive.

The decision on whether or not to repaint your timber fencing all depends on whether you have money to be repainting it after every 1 -3 years. Paint makes your fence beautiful. However, there is the disadvantage of cracking and peeling. There are other options you might want to consider… like applying a stain, or using vinyl.

The stain will give your fence a better look. It will also fade out with time, although not as soon as paint. But unlike paint, it will not require any scraping off for recoating, which will save a lot of time.

The most reliable option is vinyl. It is all-weather resistant, sturdy, and highly durable. The only maintenance needed is washing.
