FAQ

PVC fencing is made from polyvinyl chloride, a synthetic material built for outdoor use. You may also hear it called vinyl fencing or plastic fencing. The panels contain UV stabilisers and impact modifiers that protect against sun damage, moisture and general wear. Unlike timber, PVC will not rot, warp or attract termites. That is why it has become one of the longest-lasting fencing options on the Australian market.

30 years or more with minimal upkeep. PVC resists the most common problems that shorten a fence’s life: rot, termite damage, moisture absorption and UV fading. In practice, a well-installed PVC fence will outlast both timber and Colorbond alternatives.

All panels we supply come with a 30-year warranty covering UV discolouration, warping, cracking and structural defects under normal use.

Each material has its place, but PVC combines benefits that timber and Colorbond cannot match individually.

Timber is the most affordable upfront, but requires ongoing painting, staining and termite treatment. Colorbond is durable and low-maintenance, but has a more industrial look with limited design options. PVC delivers similar low maintenance to Colorbond, with a wider range of styles, no risk of rust, and a finish that stays consistent for decades. The upfront cost sits between timber and premium Colorbond, but the total cost of ownership over 20 years is typically lower because there is no painting, sealing or panel replacement to budget for.

Yes. PVC panels have smooth, splinter-free surfaces with no exposed nails, screws or sharp edges. The material is non-toxic and does not need chemical treatments like timber preservatives. For families with young children or pets, a solid PVC privacy fence creates a safe, enclosed outdoor space without the risks that come with ageing timber (cracking, splintering, exposed fasteners).

White PVC holds its colour extremely well. We manufacture our panels with titanium dioxide, an industry-standard UV inhibitor that prevents yellowing and fading. White PVC reflects sunlight rather than absorbing heat, which is one reason we supply our range in white only. The result is consistent colour performance across Queensland’s climate year after year.

In most cases, these three terms describe the same product. PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride, which is a type of vinyl. People searching for vinyl fencing, plastic fencing or PVC fencing are generally looking for the same thing.

The real distinction is quality, not terminology. We manufacture our panels from 100% virgin PVC with UV stabilisers and impact modifiers built into the compound. If you see a product marketed as “plastic fencing” at a much lower price, check whether it uses the same engineering-grade formulation. Cheap imports and recycled-plastic panels do not perform the same way.

PVC has a high ignition point and is classified as a self-extinguishing material. If exposed to a flame, it will char but will not keep burning once the flame source is removed. That makes it a safer boundary option than timber, which can ignite and sustain fire. For properties in bushfire-prone parts of Queensland, PVC provides an additional layer of passive protection. Check your local Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) rating and consult your council for any specific fencing requirements in designated zones.

More than most people expect. Because PVC lasts 30-plus years, it cuts out the cycle of manufacturing, transporting and disposing of replacement fences that shorter-lived materials like timber create. PVC does not need wood preservatives, stains or paints, so fewer chemicals end up in the soil around your property. The material itself is recyclable at end of life.

We use virgin PVC compound (not recycled plastics) to keep structural quality high and consistent batch to batch.

No fencing material is perfect, and PVC is no exception. Here is what to consider.

The upfront cost is higher than treated pine or standard Colorbond, although lower lifetime maintenance costs offset that difference. PVC is currently available mainly in white, so if you need a specific colour it may not suit. A heavy direct impact (a falling tree branch, for example) can crack a panel, though individual panels are easy to swap out without touching the rest of the fence. And it is a synthetic material, which may not appeal to homeowners who prefer natural finishes. For most residential applications, the durability and zero-maintenance benefits outweigh these trade-offs.

We supply five main types of PVC fencing across 13 models.

Privacy fences give full screening for boundaries and backyards. Picket fences work well for front yards and garden borders. Garden fences are a lighter, decorative option for landscaped areas. Hampton style fences deliver the coastal aesthetic that has become popular across South East Queensland. And we stock temporary PVC fence panels for events, construction sites and short-term boundary needs.

Browse the full range in our online catalogue.

Panels range from 1 metre to 2 metres, depending on the style. Picket and garden fences typically come in 1.2 m. Privacy fences are available at 1.5 m and 1.8 m as standard, with the Queen Victoria model standing at a full 2 metres for maximum screening. Need something outside those sizes? Contact our team to discuss what is possible.

Yes. We supply both sliding gates and swing gates in PVC to match your fence style. The gates use the same material and colour as our fence panels, so they sit flush with your boundary line. Gate hardware, tracks and accessories are also available. Check the gates page for specs, or get in touch for a custom gate quote.

A semi-privacy fence uses panels with spaced slats or boards. You still get airflow and filtered light through, but with a degree of screening. This style works well for front yards, side boundaries or pool surrounds where full privacy would feel too closed-in. Our garden fence and certain picket styles offer this kind of layout.

Yes. We carry various types of decorative caps. Post caps protect the top of the post from water ingress and give the installation a finished look. All accessories fit standard QFS post sizes.

Materials start from around $68 per metre for a 1.2 m picket panel and go up to around $107 per metre for a 2 m full-privacy fence. These are materials-only prices and do not include delivery or installation.

The final cost depends on fence style, panel height, total boundary length and any extras such as gates or post caps. Use our online fencing calculator for an instant estimate, or request a personalised quote from the team.

Yes. Our free online calculator lets you enter your total fence length and select your preferred style. It works out the number of panels, posts and rails you need, along with the estimated total cost. Takes about a minute and gives you a clear breakdown before you commit.

Upfront, yes. PVC costs more than treated pine, but sits close to hardwood timber. The difference shows up over time.

A timber fence needs painting or staining every few years, termite inspections, and eventual board replacement. Over 20 years, the total spend on a timber fence (including maintenance and repairs) usually exceeds the one-off cost of PVC. We regularly hear from homeowners who say PVC turned out to be the more economical choice once they looked past the day-one price.

Yes, and most of our customers do. PVC is one of the most DIY-friendly fence types out there.

Panels are pre-cut and slot together with a rail-and-post system. No welding, no specialist tools. The hardest part is setting your posts in concrete and getting them level. Once the posts are set, panels and rails lock into place. We include detailed installation guides with every order, and our team is available by phone if you hit a snag during the build.

Yes. We do installations in the Greater Brisbane, Gold Coast and Ipswich area.
Our crew handles everything from post-hole digging and concreting through to panel fitting and gate hanging. For customers outside our service area, we supply materials with a detailed post plan so you (or a local contractor) can complete the job. Visit our Installation page for more detail or to request a quote.

Post-hole digger or auger, spirit level, tape measure, string line, quick-set concrete, rubber mallet, and a hacksaw or fine-tooth saw for any panel trimming. That is it. No specialist power tools needed.

Panels ship flat-packed at up to 2.4 m long, so they are easy to move around. Most installations can be handled by two people over a weekend. We also supply a post plan with supply-only orders to take the guesswork out of layout.

In most cases, a standard boundary fence up to 2 metres high does not require a development application in Queensland. Front fences, fences near driveways, and fences over 2 metres may be subject to local council rules. Pool fencing must comply with the relevant Australian Standard (AS 1926).

We always recommend checking with your local council before starting. Our team can point you in the right direction if you are not sure where to look.

Rinse with a garden hose to remove dust and loose dirt. For tougher marks (mud splashes, mildew spots), use a soft cloth or brush with warm water and a mild household detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as they can scratch the surface.

That is genuinely all it takes. Most of our customers wash their fence once or twice a year and it looks the same as the day it went up.

Yes. Every panel we supply is backed by a 30-year warranty covering UV discolouration, warping, cracking and structural defects under normal residential use. That is one of the longest warranties in the Australian fencing market and reflects the expected lifespan of quality PVC. Warranty details come with your order; registration guidance is included at handover for installed projects.

No. The colour runs all the way through the material, not just on the surface. Scratches do not expose a different colour underneath. This zero-maintenance characteristic is one of the biggest reasons homeowners switch from timber to PVC.

Technically, yes. You can apply exterior acrylic paint to PVC. But we do not recommend it.

PVC fencing is built so the colour is consistent through the full thickness of the material. A painted finish will eventually peel, chip or fade, and then you are back to repainting every few years. That defeats one of the main advantages of PVC: zero maintenance. Painting also voids the manufacturer’s warranty on the finish. Our white panels are formulated to hold their colour for the life of the fence.

Yes. PVC fencing can be stepped or raked to follow the contour of sloping ground. Stepping adjusts each panel section up or down in uniform increments (a staircase effect). Raked angles the rails to follow the slope more closely. Which method suits depends on the steepness and the fence style.

If you are installing on a steep slope or retaining wall, we recommend professional installation to get post depth and panel alignment right.

PVC panels have a degree of flex built in, which lets them absorb wind loads rather than cracking the way rigid materials can. Posts go into concrete for a solid hold. In extreme weather, rail sections pop out of the post channel rather than snapping. That is a deliberate design choice: you reattach the rail in minutes instead of replacing a broken panel.

We have supplied fencing across South East Queensland for years, including properties that cop summer storm season head-on. The product handles it.
