Classic Vinyl Fencing Styles
Featuring “sophisticated styling in an elegant design,” Classic style vinyl fences are also “good neighbor” fences, meaning they appear the same on both sides.
Pickets protrude through the top rail and terminate at the bottom rail.

Selecting the Right Vinyl Fence Style for Your Home
The right accessory can pull your entire look together instantly. Outfitting your St. Louis home with the right vinyl fencing shouldn’t be any different. Choosing from vinyl fence styles takes more than just picking the first option in a catalog. You need to consider each fence’s color, design, and accessories to ensure it complements rather than distracts from your home.
From a traditional picket fence to a rustic post and rail to a contemporary design, vinyl fencing comes in a number of unique styles. In addition, Maintenance-Free Outdoor Solutions carries an array of in-demand colors, such as white, almond, and weathered gray.
It’s important to know which style and color would look best with your home. While white vinyl fencing complements any house, it’s particularly well-suited for Georgian and Cape Cod-style homes. A more modern or brownstone-style residence, on the other hand, may look better with a faux wood-inspired vinyl fence.
When Choosing Vinyl Fence Options, Take These Steps:
Determine Your Fence’s Use
Do you want to enhance your home’s privacy? Provide a barrier between your kids and your swimming pool? Keep your pets inside your yard – and pests out of it?
The variety of vinyl fence styles means you’ll need to choose an option that best fits your most pressing needs. A picket thru rail fence is aesthetically pleasing and stops your kids from running out in the road. However, it offers little privacy and easily allows a smaller dog to slip through. A privacy fence offers enhanced security but can block the view beyond your yard.
Select the Right Height
The first factor to consider is whether or not your municipality or homeowners’ association has restrictions regarding the height and placement of a fence. A higher fence may require a permit or variance for installation.
Once you get the “okay” from your city and/or The Homeowner’s Association, choosing the height is next. If you have a pool, for instance, the International Code Council (I.C.C.) recommends that your fence should be at least 48” tall with spacing between pickets limited to less than 4” to prevent kids from sneaking over or through. If you have a large dog that’s prone to jumping, such as a Labrador or Golden Retriever, you may want to consider a fence style that’s 5-6’ high.
Have a Conversation With Your HOA
Before making the big move, find out the regulations in your community. Homeowners Association (HOA) rules vary from neighborhood to neighborhood. For instance, one HOA may require all homes to have vinyl privacy fencing of a certain height and fence design, while another may not allow you to locate your fence beyond the back corners of your home. Knowing what’s expected of you can quickly limit your choices. Learn more: “Requesting HOA Approval with Smart Communication Tips.”
Coordinate with Your Trim
For an easy choice, stick with a fence color that matches the trim of your home. For instance, if you have a dark gray house with white trim, a white vinyl fence makes the gray look less severe and adds the perfect level of balance to your property.
Go Big and Bold
Just like a statement necklace kicks up a simple dress or a patterned tie dresses up a basic suit, one option is to go for a fence that attracts attention.
Choose a privacy fence with eye-catching design options like concave tops and decorative posts or a contemporary fence in an unexpected shade, like Arctic Blend blue. You can even choose one color for your fence sections and a deeper, bolder color for your posts.
Consider Your Home Design
A white privacy fence to guard a traditional Cape Cod or Colonial style home can look stark. It may be better to go with an airy picket fence style or a privacy fence in gray to play up the darker roof and shutters. A Post & Rail or darker colored fence pairs perfectly with a ranch house, especially with the rustic accents and porch posts so popular these days.
Enhance Your Landscaping
While coordinating your fence to your home is important, so is complimenting your landscape. If you’re proud of your colorful English flower garden, a white fence as a backdrop can make the colors pop. If your property backs up to the woods or a park, a vinyl fence in a rich wood shade can extend your living space into nature.
