We are finally getting around to having a fence installed to provide greater privacy between our house and that of our backyard neighbor. We have sought three quotes; one guy didn't show twice so we may be choosing between two, or we may solicit another quote.
It looks like we need around 80' to 100' of fencing.
I thought all along that we would be getting a wooden fence of some sort, and I have some ideas based on other fences I have seen in town. But the two guys who have come out could not be more adamant about using PVC fencing instead of wood. One of them won't even do a wood fence; he only provided quotes for PVC. Still waiting on quotes from the other one, but both insist that wood is more expensive to install and more expensive in the long run because it will need to be replaced in around ten years.
I'm still leaning towards a wood fence because I like the look. I'm not sure I've ever even seen a PVC fence.
Anyone here have any recent experience, insights, thoughts, etc.? I am especially interested if anyone has a PVC fence (and if so, in pictures of the same if possible).
TIA
