Opaque or solid stains tend to need replacement every five years or so. A solid stain visibly fades in 3-5 years. However, if you are concerned about having a certain color for your fence then this may well be the way to go, as you can get creative with blues, greens, golds, roses, grays, and other colors.
Vinyl fences have become a popular alternative in the past few years to traditional fences such as wood and chain link fences. While vinyl fencing can be more expensive, it has some distinct advantages including: Durability. Vinyl is stronger than wood and doesn’t decompose. As a result, it lasts much longer. Low Maintenance. You don’t have to paint or finish vinyl fence and it’s easy to clean. Flexibility. You never have to worry about parts of your vinyl fencing splitting, snapping, or breaking off like you do with a wood fence.
