Vinyl fencing is an excellent low-maintenance, versatile option for your home or business. There are essentially three types of vinyl fences we install in the Greenville area: privacy fencing, decorative vinyl picket fences, and farm fences. Our information below tells you basic facts you need to know when making a decision about if you want vinyl fencing and what type to choose.

Two important questions to ask a vinyl fence installation company are: Does your fence come with a manufacturer’s warranty and Do you currently have access to vinyl fencing?
Why should you ask these questions? There is a shortage of vinyl fencing throughout the entire country. Many of our competitor’s suppliers are sold out and can’t get any vinyl fence products for months. However, since we are the largest purchasers of vinyl fence in the Upstate, we have white, tan, gray and wood grain vinyl fence in large quantities stocked at our warehouse in Greenville.
Keep in mind that there will still be a gap between an accepted quote and an installation date (usually just a few business days). This gap allows time for us to call in an 811 dig ticket and for our installation labor to become available. From what we hear daily, we are about the only installer with access to any vinyl privacy fence material. And our vinyl fences come with a lifetime limited warranty provided by the manufacturer.
As of today, we have thousands of feet of tan, white, gray, and wood grain vinyl fence in stock at our warehouse in Greenville. Don’t wait months for a competitor. In most cases we can quote this week and build in two to four weeks!
There is no one word answer, but depending on the style, color, length of fence needed, and lay of the land, you can figure somewhere between about $25 and $50 a foot, plus the cost of gates. Any quote just comes down to amount of material needed, digging conditions, and hours on the job. Vinyl fences are expensive, but you get what you pay for between the minimal maintenance and lifetime warranty.
There are two main reasons people select vinyl fencing (also called PVC and/or plastic fencing), even though it is more expensive than wood. The biggest reason is maintenance. Once it is installed, you don’t have to do any staining or painting. You aren’t going to see warping or sagging. What you see on day one is essentially what you are going to see ten years from now.
Customers also like that there is no “pretty” or “ugly” side of the fence. Two neighbors can equally enjoy a vinyl fence without having to decide who gets the rails and who gets the flat side. And while a vinyl fencing is more expensive than wood up front, once you stain a wood fence you usually have a similar cost into both fences.
A large majority of our fence installation business centers around white vinyl privacy fences. Some weeks we install a half dozen different vinyl fences throughout the upstate. White is the most popular because it is the least expensive color. We have a vinyl fence installation in Five Forks (Simpsonville). Today, a lot of the business in Simpsonville has moved from Five Forks out towards Fork Shoals and W. Georgia Rd.
There are five basic colors of vinyl privacy fence. White, tan, wood grain, and gray. Those colors are listed in order of price from least expensive to most expensive (with wood grain and gray being the same price). Tan, while more expensive than white, is still very reasonable. It is also sometimes called sand, almond, desert, or beige. We can also get slightly darker if you want to try a khaki or clay color.
This is one of the most asked about vinyl fences that we have installed. You get the look of wood but you have the lifetime warranty of a vinyl fence. We installed the one of these fences in the Chanticleer neighborhood in Greenville. We were the first company to bring this style and color of vinyl to the Upstate South Carolina marker. It was out of stock for about two years, but it is back and we have it in stock! While it is more expensive than white or tan, it is no where near as expensive as it once was.
This is the most expensive of the traditional six foot vinyl privacy fences that we typically install. For whatever reason, the darker the color of the fence, the more the fence costs from the manufacturer. Dozens of other colors exist, but they are all going to be more expensive than this. We did an install for this type of fence off Hudson Rd in Greenville fall of 2020. It turned out really nice! For the customers who have been wanting this color, it is back in stock and ready to install! Please contact us if you want to see this color in person. We have samples at our warehouse or we can give you addressed around town where you can see it actually installed.
There is a reason most large properties choose a vinyl split rail fence to define their boundary. They are affordable and there is essentially no maintenance. Definitely get a price from us if you are considering something like this. You will be pleased with the cost and product. We have used this black vinyl ranch rail in Pelzer, Campobello and near Paris Mountain. Contact us if you want the addresses to drive by and see in person.
All of these are actual different fences that we have installed around the Greenville area. These range from three feet to five feet tall. Consider if you want a flat top or a scalloped top. About the only other difference is between the picket styles. These are not cheap installs. You are likely looking at $45 a foot as a basic average.

Standard gates sizes are four and five feet wide. And you can use those gates to make double open eight and ten foot gates. We can make custom sizes smaller or larger, but they can get pricey. We suggest trying to make a combination of the standard sizes work. A 5′ gate is obviously 25% heavier than a 4′ gate and over time it can sag a little. If you or your lawn service has a riding lawnmower, then you should probably do a 60″ opening so a 54″ standard riding mower can get through.
These usually add several hundred dollars to a standard install, but they make a big difference.
We hear this a lot, especially from people moving to Greenville from hurricane prone areas. It has not been our experience that vinyl fences get blown down at a greater frequency than other privacy fences. We put 60lbs of concrete in a 8-10 inch wide by 22 inch deep hole. Our gate posts all get an aluminum insert. We would never definitively say that a fence can’t get blown over, but a vinyl fence is not more susceptible to wind damage than a wood fence.
All the six foot tall privacy fences shown above are going to be less expensive per foot than even the most common four and five foot decorative fences. This is because the fence manufacturers produce huge quantities of privacy fence daily and shorter fences are all special order.
