Plastic Fencing, good or bad ?
Hi trying to get some ideas for my back garden, am aware of either timber or concrete post, standard wooden panel fencing or gravel boards as fences but not so pleased with the maintenance (painting/treating) or installation side (heavy lifting, no access on other side of garden etc).
Plastic or uPVC fencing seems to solve most of these issues, so is it actually worth it or better to stick with wooden fencing and timber or concrete fence post ?

I don't like the look of it, personally, it was here when we moved it.. but the entire neighborhood has nearly identical vinyl in slightly different patterns.. so it doen't look out of place or even that noticeable. It certainly does brighten the garden (blindingly so here).
Would you want to be stuck with the same hairstyle,clothes, carpet, curtains, sofa ,wallpaper for 25 years?
Can you screw trellis to it?
Does it get very hot in the sun and scorch plants that are resting against it?
Neighbour bought a plastic shed. Ghastly. It looked, well, plastic.
Am hearing frost can be an issue causing it to go brittle and crack during minus temps under snow/winter but others have suggested no real issues either so bit conflicting info.
I am reading its best to still use concrete with the pvc fence post to increase stability also.
Would be still great to hear pvc fence owners or anyone's opinions
We will be getting round to replacing it eventually, but as we have no pets or children other things have taken priority.

Sorry it's not the same angle.
It does not look to bad to me but can see the slope and angle of your back garden running upwards a bit, I have the same issue. Good to hear soap and water does the trick.

Thanks not considered those options but I think I need something a bit stronger and thicker for better security.
You can probably see the slope better in this photo
You have to work with what you have got.
