Vinyl Fence How To...
A. Check Building Code -- Before deciding on
your new vinyl fence, be sure to check local
building codes and neighborhood deed
restrictions to understand what types and
maximum height of fence you can erect on
your property as well as any property line
setback requirements. Your Shoreline Vinyl
Systems Authorized Dealer can assist you in
planning your new fence so that it will be
code-compliant.
B. Purpose of Fence -- Is your new fence for
safety, security, privacy, and/or beautifying
your property? Based upon the purpose of
the fence, decide if you want a privacy, semiprivacy,
pool, picket, or post and rail type of
fence. See pages 6 through 34 for examples.
C. Choose a Style -- Look at the fence styles
available for the category you chose. Decide
the style, options, and accent top(s) that best
suit your needs and unique preferences.
D. What Color(s)? -- Decide the color of your
new vinyl fence. Most styles are available in
White, Almond, Khaki, and Gray. Consider
mixing colors for a two-tone appearance; for
example, white posts and rails with almond

E. How Tall? -- Decide the height

your options. Post caps and
picket cap options can greatly
affect the unique appearance
of your completed project. See
page 35 for details.
G. Need any Gates? --
Convenient access to your
fenced-in area should be
explored. What type of access,

does it need to be for lawn-care
equipment? Shoreline Vinyl

most any size one-leaf and twoleaf
gates for your chosen style.
See gate details on pages 36-37.

you want to place your new
fence and draw a rough sketch
of your property, buildings, and where you want
to place your new fence.
I. Present your Ideas -- Meet with your Shoreline

your research, ideas and rough sketch. They will
