How long do privacy screens last?
The lifetime of a privacy screen varies depending on quite a few factors. Four big ones are 1) the material used to build the screen, 2) how it was installed, 3) the climate and natural conditions of the area, and 4) how well the screen has been maintained.
Wood, for example, looks beautiful but quickly depreciates over time.
Vinyl screens trade natural beauty for low maintenance. However, over time, vinyl becomes brittle and does not stand up well to extreme weather conditions. It may last forever, but it won't look pretty while it does.
Masonry walls are effective and durable, but unless you're building a castle, they may seem a bit foreboding as a privacy screen. And if they do crack, they are a beast to repair.
Trex Fencing has been used by many customers as a privacy screen because of its low maintenance and it's durability over time. Trex Fencing sports a 25 year warranty, which means it is built to last. What's more, Trex was designed to be a DIY product, so you can tackle it as a summer project, saving you on installation fees. The fence can easily be installed in the ground, or as a screen on top of your deck or patio. Our website provides detailed Installation Resources for both our Seclusions and our Horizons fencing styles, and our team of product experts can be reached during normal business hours Monday-Friday at 877-700-8739.
The Virtues of Trex Fencing extend well-beyond its durability and ease of installation, however. For one thing, it is a beautiful fence. Our 3 rich colors complement any landscape, providing a natural wood aesthetic. The product is dyed during the manufacturing process, which means you'll never have to paint or stain your fence.
Trex Fencing has a unique board-on-board design that will not only set it apart from other fences in your neighborhood, the neighbors themselves will love the fact that the fence looks the same on both sides. No one gets the ugly side of the fence, because both sides are beautiful.
As mentioned previously, there are many factors that go into determining how long a privacy screen will last. While no one type of material is perfect, you can minimize the effort needed to maintain your screen while maximizing its beauty and aesthetic by going with Trex Fencing,
