When it comes to choosing vinyl fencing, some companies push the idea that only "virgin" vinyl, or new vinyl, is suitable. They claim that recycled vinyl is somehow inferior or less durable for fences. However, these claims are myths that can lead to unnecessary expense, environmental harm, and even a less durable fence in the long run. At Fencing Direct, we are committed to providing customers with strong, high-quality vinyl fencing that stands the test of time. Here’s why recycled vinyl is actually the superior choice.

Virgin Vinyl: More Prone to Breaking and Costly

Virgin vinyl may sound premium, but it's often less effective for fence longevity. Pure, unprocessed vinyl lacks the structural resilience added when recycled materials are carefully blended into the mix. In fact, virgin vinyl is often more brittle, making it prone to cracks or breaks over time, especially when exposed to changing temperatures or physical stress. So, while you might be paying a premium for "new" vinyl, you're likely getting a fence that’s not as durable as a carefully engineered, American-made vinyl blend.

Recycled Vinyl: Stronger and More Cost-Effective

The strength of recycled vinyl lies in its structure and regulations. Because all of our vinyl products are manufactured in the United States, they are subject to strict quality and durability standards. One of these standards includes a specified thickness for vinyl used in fencing. This thicker material provides added strength and resilience, making recycled vinyl a reliable choice for withstanding daily wear and outdoor elements.

Another benefit is cost-effectiveness. Recycled vinyl is more affordable to produce, which means you get a high-quality fence without the inflated cost of virgin vinyl. It’s a win-win: better value and a longer-lasting fence that you can rely on.

Environmentally Friendly Choice

Choosing recycled vinyl is not only practical but also environmentally responsible. Producing virgin vinyl requires new resources and generates more waste, adding to the environmental impact. By selecting recycled vinyl, you’re helping reduce waste and energy use—without compromising quality or durability. For those looking to make eco-friendly choices, recycled vinyl is the clear choice.

American-Made Quality You Can Trust

At Fencing Direct, we take pride in offering only high-quality American-made vinyl fences. Our products meet stringent standards that require specific thickness and durability, so you can rest assured that every fence panel we provide is designed to last. The myth that virgin vinyl is the only choice for quality fencing is simply outdated—recycled, American-made vinyl offers exceptional strength, longevity, and environmental benefits that virgin vinyl just can’t match.

The Real Value of Recycled Vinyl

Don’t be misled by the myth that only virgin vinyl is suitable for fencing. Recycled vinyl is stronger, more durable, and environmentally responsible. At Fencing Direct, our commitment to quality means we stand by our recycled vinyl fences as a smart, sustainable choice that homeowners can rely on for years to come.
