Apart from being affordable, vinyl fencing is easy to install. Many homeowners prefer to install it themselves because it is easy to assemble the pieces. However, if you choose to hire a fence contractor to install your vinyl fence, the cost will still be significantly lower compared to, for example, the cost of installing a wrought iron fence.
