17 Feb 2016
When a traditional timber fence needs replacing, Polvin Fencing provides a more durable solution with PVC fencing, an alternative that lasts longer and requires zero maintenance.

While a traditional timber fence looks splendid when freshly installed, 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 a traditional timber fence.

As councils upgrade or add new facilities, a growing number are taking advantage of moving from timber to Polvin PVC for their fencing needs. Not only does Polvin PVC never need to be painted but apart from the occasional clean, requires zero maintenance. Unlike timber, Polvin PVC will never warp, rot, flake or peel and is not susceptible to termites. What’s more, Polvin PVC has higher tensile strength compared to timber.
