Compared to the laborious process of setting posts, installing the vinyl panels is pretty easy: It typically involves snapping pieces together by hand with minimal need for tools. If your vinyl fence panels are in individual pieces, check the top and bottom rails as you connect them to make sure each is level.

The average vinyl privacy fence is designed to withstand normal wind. Provided the fence is correctly installed and supported, it should hold up against winds of up to 100 mph.

Vinyl fencing is ideal for luxury homes, as it gives a clean and sleek look, and is also doesn't take much to maintain. So your home's value may not increase if you fenced it while in a neighborhood that doesn't have much fence.
