A white vinyl fence has all the attractiveness of a wood fence, but you don't have to worry about repairing weather-damaged wood or repainting the fence. White fences do show dirt sooner than other colors, but vinyl is easy to clean and is resistant to stains. Rinsing with the fence with water gets rid of surface dust and debris such as grass clippings, but the fence may occasionally require more in-depth cleaning to look like new again.
