Why Choose Value Fencing® PVC Gates?

Value Fencing® pioneered PVC fencing and gates in South Africa. Our products are ASTM-certified for "PVC fencing" (not conduit or piping), built with Dupont TiO₂ non-chalking grade additives for superior UV resistance, and engineered with low-calcium fillers to prevent brittleness.

Unlike competitors who replicate but don't perfect our designs, Value Fencing® products are backed by our unmatched limited lifetime warranty and proven compliance with SANS 10400 & NBR standards.

Classic Cape Dutch Style & Craftsmanship

Our gates are custom-designed to match existing Cape Dutch architecture, ensuring seamless integration into Paarl's heritage-rich estates. Precision machine-welded mitered corners guarantee square, strong, and lasting frames, while our unique overlapping design conceals hinge gaps, preserving the flawless facade of your property.

Built to Last: Hardware & Materials

We only use premium-grade hardware that outperforms conventional gate fittings:

  • Vista Heavy-Duty Aluminum Butt Hinges - Engineered for structural load, tested to withstand years of daily use.
  • 316 Grade Stainless-Steel Latches - Marine-level anti-corrosion protection, ideal for coastal Paarl conditions.
  • uPVC Frames - Rot-proof, termite-proof, rust-proof, and immune to peeling or cracking.

These specifications ensure decades of reliability with zero upkeep.

Installation & Maintenance

Every Value Fencing® franchisee, including Paarl's Cape Winelands team, is fully trained in professional, estate-approved installation methods.

  • Zero maintenance required - no sanding, sealing, or repainting.
