I used All Island Fence 516-442-0012. They were the cheapest and the best. Two of my neighbors across the street used them as well. But my idiot neighbor called the town on me cause he didn't like the fence (he had no room to move but it was on my property line). Check before you install.

Does anyone bother getting permits for their fences? What do you have to do to satisfy the town now?
If I'm not burning my PVC fence, or disposing of it in a landfill next to my house, then I'm pretty sure it's not a health hazard. The hazard for PVC in building materials is not in its use, but in its disposal, and as long as it's done properly it can be recycled with no residual health hazards. The link you posted is very, very misleading, and one side of a complicated debate. I agree that PVC should not be in toys and anything that can be ingested or put into or near the body given the toxicity if ingested, but the article doesn't say that it's a health hazard to use for building materials, such as a fence.
Is Europe the global standard for health and safety? I think not. Nuclear waste is far more dangerous than PVC and Europe gets most of its energy from nuclear reactors, which produce far more quantities of waste that needs to be disposed. Trotting out a ban in Europe to prove there is a danger because they always ban dangerous things is a specious argument.
The link below is the counterargument to the 'let's ban something completely because if not disposed of properly it can be a hazard' way of thinking.
News flash: The list of things that can be a hazard if not handled/used/disposed of properly is endless.

The posts for a fence need to be buried in concrete so if you're not 100% positive the installer is digging in an area where there are no gas or electric lines, call National Grid and PSE&G to come stake out where on your property those are. It's free, they do it within a few days and could save you a big hassle. If you get a permit, they'll make you or the installer do that. If the fence is on a property line, you better make sure it's on your property and not your neighbor's. Your town may make you have your property line staked officially by a land surveyor, which could add to the cost significantly I put one in the back of my house around my generator and AC units a few years ago and it was out of sight from the street so I didn't get a permit, but if i was doing it on a property line i would definitely have gone for the permit. Each town/viallge has their own rules on fences so check the code for height, opacity, etc.

Pvc fences while practical are an eyesore.
Perhaps, we should follow European standards, on an esthetic pov.
As far as nuclear waste, besides Chernobyl, there has not been any nuclear problem in Europe.
PVC fence is one of the worst inventions of the modern world, second only to Fuoco and Facebook. Soon everyone will drop dead from cancer because of the toxic off-gassing from the chemicals in the PVC.

So aesthetic is the new basis for utility? I'm sure some people say you're an eyesore - should we just euthanize you? Same logic. Just sayin.....
A little closer to home, comrade, there was such a thing as 3-mile island? Hear of it? What do you think they do with those spent nuclear fuel rods in Europe, which have a half life of about 20,000 years, minimum?
You're out of your depth for an intelligent discourse. Anyway, aren't you late for a Bernie Sanders rally?

I got a permit for it...its easier to get it now than after you have the fence installed. Plus if you have to get it after getting the fence installed - then the fees is 3 times the current fees.
Hi I just received a estimate for 167 feet of pvc fence and a single gate for 4000. Is this a fare price?
