Murfreesboro, Tennessee · Rutherford County
Vinyl is the fence for people who never want to own a paintbrush. It doesn't rot, it doesn't need stain, and a garden hose takes care of most of the cleaning. HomeGuide's national guide gives it a 20- to 30-year life. The trade-off is the up-front price, so here's what you're paying for and where vinyl earns its keep in Murfreesboro yards.
Tongue-and-groove pickets locked between a top and bottom rail make a solid 6-foot wall with no gaps, now or later. HomeGuide prices a 6-foot vinyl privacy fence at $40 to $60 per linear foot installed nationally and an 8-foot fence at $60 to $85.
A solid lower panel with lattice or spaced pickets across the top 12 inches or so. Neighbors still can't see in, but the fence looks lighter, and it suits a patio better than a flat wall.
Alternating vinyl boards look the same from both sides and let wind through, which matters on open lots in new subdivisions where nothing has grown up yet. HomeGuide's national range is $40 to $65 per linear foot installed.
Shorter vinyl picket and vinyl rail fences for front yards are covered on our split rail and picket fence page.
Not all PVC fence is the same. ASTM F964 covers the material, dimensions and weathering performance of rigid PVC fence profiles, and ASTM F1999 is the standard practice for installing vinyl fence systems, gates included. We work from both. In practice, that means:
White costs the least. HomeGuide lists white vinyl material at $20 to $25 per linear foot, against $30 to $65 for black and $30 to $55 for wood-grain browns. A standard 4- to 6-foot vinyl walk gate adds $150 to $780 installed. If you're comparing vinyl with a wood privacy fence, the real question is how long you plan to stay. Wood costs less on day one, but it needs stain every year or two.
Vinyl privacy panels make a good pool barrier as long as the details are right. Rutherford County's pool barrier rules call for at least 48 inches measured on the outside, and when horizontal rails are less than 45 inches apart, they have to sit on the pool side so a child can't climb them. See pool fence and barrier gates before you pick a style.
