Great vid, short and sweet! The future is now with PVC. Looks good and doesn't rot!

One thing I've always wondered: With the recent upswing in massive wildfires occurring all across North America, why would you use a "probably" highly flammable plastic trim on your exterior instead of a fire resistant cement product like Hardie Trim or a wood trim covered in a protective metal sleeve? I know fire professionals say that a metal gutter is safer than a plastic one because the plastic gutter will melt in a fire and rain flaming plastic onto the ground at the base of the building so why use plastic trim that will probably do the same thing in a wildfire?

I square cut, pocket screw and glue my joints when using PVC. I’ve never had it pull apart. I’ve also never used Versatex though either. Here in VT I use Wolf, Kleer, and Azek depending on the supplier I’m dealing with.

Why isnt there any u.k installations of pvc trim and cladfing??

It’s great to try, but even welded steel fences break from expansion and contraction.

Well done tutorial series. The question I have is where to source the PVC glue you are using, especially in Canada. Do you have a local supplier in the Valley? There seem to be very few suppliers even online and of those, few actually have it in stock (none that I have found at the moment). Shocking considering the amount of PVC trim available at big box stores. I suppose most hacks just fill the gaps with caulk and call it a day...
