Built for Florida sun
Every Homeland fence profile contains titanium dioxide as a UV inhibitor, and the protective outer layer includes ACCU-Shield for impact resistance. The colors hold up better and the surface resists chalking.
Why we only sell Homeland vinyl
All of our vinyl is Homeland. See the difference side by side: thicker walls, real UV protection, stiffer profiles, American manufacturing and a limited lifetime warranty.
See the difference
Two simple tests show it. Hold a picket up to a light: thin vinyl glows through. Bend it: thin vinyl flexes and sags, while a Homeland profile stays stiff.
Homeland vs. common budget vinyl
What we look at when we choose a vinyl fence.
| Feature | Homeland | Common budget vinyl |
|---|---|---|
| Wall thickness | Thicker walls. 5 in posts reach 0.150 in, and thickness is published for every profile. | Thin walls. Some profiles let light through. |
| Florida sun | Titanium dioxide UV inhibitors in every fence profile, plus an ACCU-Shield outer layer. | Little or no UV protection. Can yellow, chalk and peel. |
| Stiffness | Thicker profiles. Metal rail inserts add strength on long runs and gates. | Flexes and sags, especially on long rails and gates. |
| Warranty | Limited lifetime for homeowners, 30 years commercial. | Often short, vague or hard to claim. |
| Certification | Fence and rail profiles are VMA certified. | Often not stated. |
| Origin | Made in the USA, in plants that include Winter Park, Florida. | Often unknown. |
| Cost over time | Costs a little more up front and lasts for years. | Cheaper on day one, but may need replacement boards and labor. |
Comparison based on Homeland's published information and our own experience. Details vary by profile.
Wall thickness by profile
Homeland publishes the thickness of every profile.
| Profile | Wall thickness |
|---|---|
| 5 in by 5 in post, Standard | 0.150 in |
| 5 in by 5 in post, Utility | 0.135 in |
| 4 in by 4 in post, Standard | 0.135 in |
| 1.5 in by 2.5 in rail, Standard | 0.090 in |
| Standard picket | 0.070 in |
Always check the current Homeland spec sheet for the profile you order.
Four things you can check for yourself
You do not have to take our word for it. Ask these four questions about any vinyl fence.
Who makes it?
Know the manufacturer. Homeland Vinyl Products has made vinyl fence in the USA for years and has a plant in Winter Park, Florida.
Hold it up to the light
Thin vinyl glows. Check light transmission before you buy.
Ask about UV inhibitors
Florida sun yellows cheap vinyl. Ask what protects the color.
Get the warranty in writing
A good warranty is specific. Ask for the written terms and read them.
Tested for Florida wind
In an Intertek lab test using the Miami-Dade protocol, a 6 ft privacy fence on 5 in posts with aluminum inserts held 1.5 times the Florida Building Code design load for 24 hours. This is a laboratory result, not a product approval, and the right build for your site still depends on your installer and your local code.
The warranty, in plain English
A limited lifetime warranty, in writing. This is a summary. The written Homeland warranty is the document that counts.
- Who is covered: a single-family homeowner for a limited lifetime, and commercial property for 30 years
- What is covered: manufacturing defects such as peeling, flaking, blistering, rotting and corroding, when the fence is installed to Homeland's instructions
- If you sell the home: the warranty transfers once to the next owner. Coverage is full for the first 10 years after installation, then steps down 5 percent a year
- What to do: inspect the fence and register the warranty with Homeland within 30 days of installation, with your proof of purchase
- Not covered: labor to remove or reinstall, normal weathering, bowing from heat sources such as grills or reflected sunlight, storm damage and improper installation
The real cost of cheap vinyl
Budget vinyl is cheaper on day one. Then come replacement boards, extra labor and a fence that looks old early. A fence that lasts is the cheaper fence over the years.
Built for homeowners, trusted by contractors
Homeowners get a fence that keeps its color and a warranty they can use. Contractors get fewer callbacks, because a stiff, thick fence is easier to install straight and stays straight.
Common questions
Why do you sell only Homeland vinyl?
Durability in Florida, UV protection and a warranty we can stand behind. Selling one good brand also means we know it and can answer your questions.
Is Homeland vinyl made in the USA?
Yes. Homeland Vinyl Products is based in Birmingham, Alabama, and makes vinyl in plants across the country, including one in Winter Park, Florida. We are an authorized Homeland dealer.
Does the warranty cover storm damage?
No. Storm damage, normal weathering, heat bowing, labor and improper installation are not covered.
Is the wind test an approval?
No. It is a lab test under the Miami-Dade protocol. Your installer and local code decide the right build for your site.
