How long does a vinyl fence last?

Vinyl fences or PVC fences are popular because of their durable nature. These fences are relatively maintenance-free. With proper care, vinyl fences can last up to 20 or more years. 

How long does a wood fence last?

He told me, the most common wood types for fences are spruce, cedar and pine. The life of the fence will depend on the material it's made from. To give you a rough idea, Cedar may last for 15-30 years, spruce may last for 4-7 years and pine may last for 5-12 years.

There are three types of metal fences: chain link, wrought iron and aluminium. I know that chain-link is the most inexpensive and long-lasting. These fences will last a lifetime upon proper maintenance.

How long does a fence last when it's treated?

When wood is treated, it becomes stronger and therefore lasts longer. Treated pine and spruce may last for 20 years and cedar may last up to 40 years. Though, you will need to protect your wooden fence from moisture and perform maintenance checks. 

This is all from my end on how long do fences last.
