Best Fence Materials for Langley Properties — Wood vs Vinyl
Langley's wet winters and warm summers put fences through the wringer. Here's how the two most popular materials compare for Fraser Valley properties.
🪵 Wood (Cedar)
- ✅ Natural look, customizable
- ✅ Lower upfront cost ($25-40/linear ft installed)
- ✅ Easy to repair individual boards
- ⚠️ Needs staining every 2-3 years
- ⚠️ Can warp/rot in BC rain without maintenance
- 📅 Lifespan: 15-20 years with care
🏗️ Vinyl (PVC)
- ✅ Zero maintenance — no staining ever
- ✅ Won't rot, warp, or attract insects
- ✅ Handles BC moisture perfectly
- ⚠️ Higher upfront ($35-60/linear ft installed)
- ⚠️ Limited colour options
- 📅 Lifespan: 25-30+ years
Our Recommendation for Langley
For most Langley homeowners, vinyl wins on total cost of ownership. Yes, it's more upfront — but zero maintenance over 25+ years means you save thousands on staining, repairs, and eventual replacement. If you love the natural wood aesthetic and don't mind annual upkeep, cedar is beautiful. Just budget for maintenance.
