Vinyl by Design

What Vinyl by Design does

Vinyl By Design is a fabricator and distributor of premium vinyl and aluminum outdoor products, including fencing, railings, and decking. Founded in 1996 by Doug and Nola Pyle in New Paris, Indiana, the company operates from a single facility at 67002 State Road 15 and supplies both residential and commercial projects in the Midwest. Its operational differentiator is custom fabrication: it stocks blank vinyl and aluminum profiles and cuts/assembles each order to project specifications rather than shipping pre-packaged fence segments. The product portfolio spans 12+ vinyl fence styles, aluminum fencing (Regis series), made-to-order vinyl railings (Birmingham, Birmingham T, Manchester, Tuscany T, hybrid), aluminum railings (Westbury, Veranda, Montego), and decking products (Clubhouse PVC, AZEK/TimberTech composite). Components are sourced from a network of vendors that includes DSI, LMT Mercer Group, Everstrong Profiles, TruNorth/Clubhouse, TimberTech/AZEK, and Westbury.

Vinyl By Design primarily serves commercial and residential contractors, builders, and wholesale buyers, with secondary exposure to retail homeowners routed through its sister sub-brand Nobility Fence. The go-to-market is sales-led: direct showroom sales at the New Paris facility, complemented by phone, fax, and email-based inside sales. Pricing is quote-based per project rather than per-foot or per-unit, reflecting the high degree of customization; no standard pricing is publicly disclosed. The company does not appear to run a software-enabled or e-commerce-led channel; ordering is human-mediated.

Since September 2021, Vinyl By Design has been a subsidiary of Fencing Supply Group, having been acquired and folded into the Sharon Fence brand. It now operates alongside sister brands Nobility Fence (consumer-direct) and Sharon Fence within a multi-brand portfolio. No financial data (revenue, headcount, valuation) is publicly disclosed, and the company is privately held with no external funding rounds documented.

Direct peers

• Freedom Outdoor Living: Vinyl fencing, railing, and outdoor products manufacturer competing in the same low-maintenance, premium vinyl/aluminum category. Comparable in distribution model (dealer/contractor network), product breadth (fencing, railings, accessories), and target buyer.
• Weatherables: Direct-to-consumer and dealer-focused vinyl fencing and railing brand offering custom-fabricated and standard fence systems. Comparable in product category and customization positioning, with overlap on contractor and homeowner buyers.
• Duramax Building Products: Manufacturer of vinyl fencing, railing, and outdoor building products sold through dealer and contractor channels. Comparable in materials (PVC/vinyl), product categories (fencing, railings), and customer base (professionals and homeowners).
• ActiveYards: National manufacturer of vinyl and aluminum fencing systems sold through contractor and dealer channels. Closely comparable in product category (vinyl fencing, railings), customer type (builders/contractors), and value proposition around low-maintenance alternatives to wood.
• Nobility Fence: Sister brand under Vinyl By Design / Fencing Supply Group focused on direct-to-consumer vinyl fencing for homeowners. Highly comparable in product mix and customer base, differing primarily in channel strategy (retail vs. contractor-led).
• Sharon Fence: Direct sibling brand under Fencing Supply Group that Vinyl By Design was folded into following the September 2021 acquisition. Both brands now offer overlapping vinyl, aluminum, decking, and railing product lines to similar contractor and homeowner segments in the Midwest.

Broad incumbents

• TimberTech (AZEK): National composite decking and railing brand that is simultaneously a Vinyl By Design vendor partner. Comparable in decking product category and premium positioning; competes for the same contractor and homeowner decking/railing spend at a much larger scale.
• CertainTeed (Saint-Gobain): Large diversified building products manufacturer whose CertainTeed Fence and Railing division competes in the same vinyl and aluminum fencing category. Overlaps with Vinyl By Design's product line but operates as part of a much broader building materials portfolio at national scale.
• Trex Company: Leading national manufacturer of composite decking and railing systems with strong contractor and homeowner brand recognition. Directly competes with Vinyl By Design's decking and railing lines (Clubhouse, TimberTech offerings) and represents the broader composite/PVC decking category incumbent.
• Ply Gem (Cornerstone Building Brands): Diversified exterior building products manufacturer offering vinyl and aluminum fencing, railing, and decking systems alongside siding and windows. Overlaps with Vinyl By Design on fencing and outdoor living products but competes from a national, multi-category platform.
