Horse rail (RAMM fence, etc.) works pretty well. It does require tensioning about once a year.

Personally, I like the Hotcote wire. comes in white, brown or black and can be electrified if you choose to.

Unless it's a pedestrian gate, I use 14 ft. or larger gates.
Interesting. Was not familiar with this product but I like it. Will have to check price.
^^ Thing is, he's using this as a road facing front yard decorative fence and he doesn't think wire looks right. I get that even though it wouldn't be a factor for me.
Some plastics age better than others and technology may have changed in that 12 years so that the newer stuff is better in UV resistance. That would be a question for the fence company.
Good point about the change in technology. Perhaps the new stuff is longer lasting and not as brittle. Eddie did point out something I have experienced with vinyl siding and vinyl fencing in the past. Hit it with a weed eater or rock and some of it shatters over time.
Yes. I'm not opposed to a chain link fence. I really like the black chain link and if money were no objection I would pour a concrete strip the length of the fence to make it easy to cut the grass.Have you considered Chain link fence? Properly installed, it will easily last 40 years with very little maintenance.
I don't think there is any cost savings by going chain link over wood or PVC though.
