How to Combine Cedar and Vinyl for a Custom Look on Cape Cod

Mixing cedar and vinyl gives you the best of both materials. You get natural beauty where it shows and low maintenance where it matters.

Use vinyl posts with cedar boards. Vinyl posts never rot at ground level. That's where wood fails first. Cedar boards give you the natural look you want. This combination lasts longer than all-wood and looks better than all-vinyl. You cut your maintenance time in half.

Put cedar in front, vinyl in back. Your street-facing fence shows beautiful natural wood. Your backyard uses vinyl where nobody sees it but you need durability. You spend money on curb appeal where it counts. You save money where it doesn't.

Frame with vinyl, fill with cedar. Vinyl rails and posts create a maintenance-free frame. Cedar pickets or boards fill the space. You get the warm wood look without worrying about structural rot. The frame lasts 30 years. You replace cedar boards if needed, but the fence stays standing.

Use cedar accents on vinyl fence. A full vinyl fence works great but looks plain. Add cedar post caps, decorative tops, or a cedar horizontal accent board. You break up the vinyl monotony. Your fence looks custom, not cookie-cutter.

Here's the smart play: put cedar where you see it daily. Your deck area, your patio view, your front entrance. Use vinyl everywhere else. You enjoy the wood aesthetic where you spend time. You skip maintenance where you don't care about looks.

This combination works perfectly for fencing Cape Cod properties. Salt air is tough on wood. Vinyl handles it without problems. Cedar gives you that classic Cape Cod charm. Together, they give you a fence that looks great and lasts.
