Why Choose Trex Fencing
Over the years, increasingly sophisticated property improvement plans have added fencing aesthetics and other attributes into the overall decision-making equation. Aesthetic appeal is typically one of the most important factors in a customer’s process when choosing a fence. However, once a customer has decided that the design of a fence and the look of the material fits their needs, the selection process shifts into evaluating details such as longevity, maintenance, benefits of a particular material, and other attributes. A fence is not usually the largest purchase a customer will make for property improvement, but it is still a sizable investment. Therefore selecting the right fence is important to insure the purchase is worthwhile. So, how does Trex specifically factor into landscaping and design plans?
As you can imagine, the first impression many people have about Trex fencing is how unique and attractive it is. Beyond that, there are several significant reasons to choose Trex fencing. To help you to differentiate Trex from other products, this chart highlights major attributes of the fencing in comparison to common privacy fencing options.
