PVC a better fencing alternative

While a traditional timber fence looks splendid once freshly installed, unfortunately being constantly exposed to the elements it does fall victim to the accelerated ageing process.

With a substantial amount of love and tender care and, let’s face it, a lot of money in maintenance, a timber fence is unlikely to give you a lifespan of more than 25 years.

Splinters, flaking and peeling paint, warping, rotting, mould and the dreaded ‘T’ word, yes…termites are all a sad reality of what awaits. Cut backs on the maintenance and the ageing effects are accelerated even further.

As councils upgrade or add new facilities, a growing number are taking advantage of moving from timber to PVC for their fencing needs.

Not only does PVC never need to be painted but apart from the occasional clean, requires zero maintenance.

Unlike timber PVC will never warp, rot, flake or peel and is not susceptible to termites. What’s more PVC has higher tensile strength compared to timber.

Polvin Fencing Systems, ‘The PVC Experts’ is Australia’s most trusted name in PVC fencing. With over 30 year’s experience in PVC, Polvin manufactures PVC fencing products right here on Australian shores.

Councils across Australia have trusted in Polvin Fencing for several years, be it for parks and gardens, showgrounds, cricket ovals and sporting complexes or a custom PVC design.

With an initial purchase cost competitive to traditional timber without the ongoing maintenance and a 50 year warranty backed by an Australian manufacturer, it just makes sense!
