Your fence will always look freshly painted, so there is no reason to paint it except to change color. We do not recommend painting any Heritage vinyl product. Epoxy-based paint is the only paint that will adhere properly to the smooth vinyl surface. However, this type of paint damages the vinyl's surface and would void the Heritage Lifetime warranty. Basically, a Heritage vinyl fence is installed much like a wood fence.
Most components are precut and routed from the factory.
We even preassemble some styles into 6-foot wide sections. Posts are secured into the ground with concrete footings just like an ordinary wood fence. Rails are inserted into posts and pickets into rails. A properly installed Heritage Fence is a strong, durable, lifetime fence. Bottom planks are screwed onto the substructure and the top layer is rolled out and snapped into place.
