Choosing the best fence for your home can be complicated without knowing what works best for your home and your wallet.
At New Age Fencing Solutions, our vinyl fence options provide a long-term solution for your fencing needs, one panel at a time.
Choosing a privacy fence vs a semi-privacy fence comes down to your property’s size, your aesthetic preferences, and your lifestyle.
Below, we cover the difference between the two so you can make the best decision.
What is a Vinyl Privacy Fence?
There are two types of privacy fences offered by New Age Fencing Solutions: full privacy and semi-privacy fences. A privacy fence provides enhanced security and creates a complete backyard retreat. Privacy vinyl fences have interlocking panels and are a barrier against noise and sight. Elegant top sections, including lattice or spindle work, can be added for street appeal.
What is a Semi-Privacy Fence?
This type of fence can define boundaries in your yard but still have some openness to aid airflow and bring in some natural light to complement your property.
Do you have a corner lot that needs more protection against the elements and more privacy, or is less privacy just perfect – you want more light in your garden, and your pets enjoy the added airflow and the view on the other side of the fence.
Benefits of Vinyl Fences
Vinyl fencing stands up against time in many ways, including having the following pluses:
- Weather-resistant: built to withstand Calgary weather conditions (extreme temperatures) and wind-resistant.
- Greener option: non-toxic materials and safe for kids and pets.
- Low-maintenance: no sanding, painting, or staining required.
- Longevity: zero upkeep required.
- Long-term savings: minimal upkeep compared to wood fences.
- Appearance: UV inhibitors/high-grade pigments help prevent yellowing and fading.
- Lifetime Warranty: a manufacturer’s lifetime warranty is typically given.
Vinyl Wins Over Wood
Vinyl is naturally non-porous and resistant to mold, mildew, and fungus growth, which is definitely a plus compared to wood fences. Durability is another factor where vinyl sells itself: from frigid temperatures to hot summer days, your vinyl fence will look the same from one day to the next, no matter what the weather app says. No need to worry about how long your fence will last; it will be protected from all the elements (wind, extreme temperatures, insect damage) for many years to come.
Vinyl Curb Appeal
The appearance of your home and yard, its curb appeal, is important for a few reasons: your home’s value and your general sense of pride. While maintaining your property inside and out can be time-consuming, some long-term investments are worth it for years to come - whether you stay in your home or not. A vinyl fence enhances your home’s street appeal like nothing else can. While it looks sleek, customizations are available to make it your own; the low maintenance and durability will keep it looking like new for many years.

FAQs
What is the difference between privacy and semi-privacy fencing?
Privacy fences have secure privacy alternatives, with tight panels that block out noise and sights that may interfere with your seclusion. Semi-privacy fences offer more airflow and small, intentional gaps so your backyard is not fully sealed off.
Which fence style is better for windy Calgary weather?
Vinyl fences are best for a windy city like Calgary. Vinyl is the ultimate in wind-resistant material. New Age Fencing solutions professionals ensure posts are correctly anchored and panels are securely interlocked to handle the most brutal winds.
Are vinyl fences maintenance-free?
Vinyl fences are virtually maintenance-free: the occasional cleaning with a garden hose will prevent dirt from accumulating on the panels. Due to the material’s resistance to warping, cracking, or rotting, vinyl fences are easy to maintain and last longer than alternative fence styles, such as wood.

Our high-quality vinyl fences typically come with a manufacturer’s lifetime warranty. We also provide superior workmanship guaranteed.
