Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation
Vinyl & PVC Privacy Fence Installation
Full-privacy PVC fencing that never needs paint — reinforced for Florida wind loads, not the big-box spec.
Vinyl is the most popular privacy fence in South Florida for good reason — it never rots, termites ignore it, and it stays white without paint. It is also the fence most often installed badly. A solid 6-foot privacy panel is a sail, and the difference between a fence that stands through a Category 2 and one that lies flat in the neighbor's yard is post spacing, post reinforcement and footer volume.
Every line we set is engineered around the Florida Building Code wind-load zones that govern this coast: 170–175 mph ultimate design wind speed in coastal Miami-Dade and Broward, 165–170 mph through most of Palm Beach County, with High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) rules applying county-wide in Miami-Dade and Broward. That is why our posts go deeper, our concrete footers go wider, and our fasteners are stainless or hot-dip galvanized instead of the zinc-plated hardware discount crews use.
What's included
- Virgin (non-recycled) PVC with titanium dioxide UV package — no yellowing
- Aluminum-reinforced bottom rails on every 6 ft and 8 ft privacy panel
- Post spacing tightened to 6 ft on center, not the 8 ft big-box spec
- Routed posts and tongue-and-groove pickets — no face-screwed panels
- Privacy, semi-privacy, shadowbox, picket, ranch rail and pool-code styles
- White, tan, khaki, adobe and woodgrain finishes
What separates a wind-rated vinyl fence from a cheap one
Two vinyl fences can look identical on day one and behave completely differently in a 110 mph gust. The variables that matter are invisible after installation, which is exactly why low-bid crews cut them.
- Wall thickness: we install .150-inch posts. Economy vinyl uses .120-inch or thinner.
- Reinforcement: galvanized or aluminum inserts inside gate posts, end posts and bottom rails.
- Footer volume: 30 to 42 inches of poured concrete, belled at the base, not a dry bag poured in the hole.
- Spacing: 6-foot centers instead of 8 reduces the load on each post by roughly a quarter.
- Drainage: in Broward and Palm Beach neighborhoods with a high water table, we case footers so wet sand cannot collapse into the pour.
Where vinyl is the right call — and where it is not
Vinyl is the best value for backyard privacy, pool equipment screening, dog runs and HOA-approved rear lot lines. It is not the right choice for a front elevation in a community that requires open fencing, for slopes steeper than roughly 6 inches over 6 feet where panels must be racked, or for high-traffic commercial perimeters where impact damage is likely. In those cases we recommend aluminum or ornamental steel and tell you so before you spend money.
Color, texture and how South Florida sun treats them
Full-sun exposure on a west-facing line in Homestead or Wellington is brutal on pigment. We specify virgin vinyl with a co-extruded cap containing titanium dioxide, which is the ingredient that actually blocks UV degradation. Darker colors and woodgrain textures absorb more heat, so we use manufacturers whose dark formulations are heat-stabilized rather than simply tinted.

Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation FAQs
How much does a vinyl privacy fence cost per foot in Miami or Fort Lauderdale?
Installed vinyl privacy runs $42 to $85 per linear foot in the tri-county market. Six-foot white privacy on clean, accessible ground sits near the low end; 8-foot panels, woodgrain colors, coral rock excavation and demolition of an existing fence push it up.
Does vinyl fence turn yellow in Florida sun?
Virgin PVC with a proper titanium dioxide UV package does not meaningfully yellow. Recycled-content vinyl sold at discount does. We only install virgin extrusions with a lifetime finish warranty behind them.
Can vinyl fence be installed on a slope?
Yes, but conventional privacy panels step down in increments rather than following grade. On South Florida swales we either step the panels with a mason-cut base, add a treated base board, or switch to a rackable style. We show you both looks before ordering.
How do I clean a vinyl fence?
Mild dish soap, water and a soft brush twice a year. For mildew shadow on the shaded north face, a 3:1 water-to-white-vinegar solution works without damaging the cap. Avoid pressure washing above 1,500 PSI at close range.
