As a homeowner, you have one very difficult decision ahead. It is a decision that has plagued the minds of homeowners for decades. It is a decision that can leave you utterly dazed and confused.

So what is this difficult decision? Do you go with a Vinyl Fence or Wood Fence? Unfortunately, there is no right answer; both fencing options have their pros and their cons.
