Since the wood has deteriorated so badly, we have decided to go with Vinyl after much research on the merits of wood versus vinyl. We're getting estimates from fencing companies as to the cost to replace the wood fence. One of the people we interviewed for yard work also installs fences as an ancillary service. We'd need to buy the vinyl and he'd install it.

Two of the fencing companies we've talked to have said NOT to buy vinyl fencing from either Lowe's or Home Depot as the quality isn't as good as what the two claim.

I've done some on line checking, but have found very little to support this statement.

Has anyone used either HD or Lowe's Vinyl fencing and had any problem?

Thanks.

BORG's(Big ol Retail Giants) stock cheaper plywood than real lumberyards. But, their dimensional hardwoods/etc. are more expensive.

Plumbing fixtures, lighting, paint, appliances, and other areas are blamed as being inferior to 'real' products carried in single purpose stores. BORG's do carry less expensive models, but brand name products are the same no matter where the product is sold.

I've used HD fencing and it has done well with the proper installation and maintenance. Never used their vinyl, but there could be two different kinds---mainly due to the product thickness. That is true for vinyl siding.

So, check the thickness and if it is the same , it should be less expensive at a BORG simply because of the higher volume they move.

You better do some more research there. Not true. At least as far as Purdy paint brushes are concerned.

Here is what showed up when I did that---showing several hardware/paint/home improvement dealers.
