At home depot they have www.Plastival.com PVC fences, and www.EONoutdoor.com Polystyrene fences in premade panels.

I also hear of www.Trex.com, www.VerandaPremiumFence.com and some others which are composites of sawdust and recycled plastic.

Is Plastival also this composite, or is PVC different?

I can't find many reviews of these products so I don't know how to tell the good from the bad.

Are they worth using in a wet climate to prevent rot? Do they warp/bend after winter freezing contraction/expansion? Is one recognized as better than the other? What criteria to use to compare them?


And is Home Depot a good place to get it and get them to install it as well?

Looking for more info, opinions, web links...
