1. What this means

Value Fencing® PVC fencing systems - materials, construction methods and house styles - are:

• Trade-marked - the Value Fencing® mark has been protected under South African law since 2013 (2013/26102).
• Authorised supply - documentation in this eBook is intended to help you confirm you have Value Fencing® product, not a generic reseller copy.
• Locally manufactured and extruded - specified as virgin compound, not recycled plastic, with a controlled formulation.
• Specified for African exposure - UV, coastal weather, wind and long-term outdoor use.
• A local design range - picket, palisade, pool fence, privacy wall, balustrades, pergolas and slatted screens as supplied by Value Fencing®.

2. Local manufacture

Value Fencing® extrudes locally rather than relying on imported Asian PVC. That investment includes:

• Local extrusion - profiles made to their specifications.
• Compound specified for African climate - UV and outdoor weathering.
• Local teams - franchise-owned installation nationwide.
• Local industry - extrusion and installation work stays in South Africa.

3. Chemical composition

The Value Fencing® outdoor PVC formula is described as:

• 4× UV-stabilised relative to typical indoor PVC - African sun degrades under-stabilised PVC quickly.
• Low calcium-carbonate filler - high filler is a cost cut that leads to brittleness, yellowing, cracking and flaking.
• High-impact modifiers - for toughness and flexibility in service.
• Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) - whitening and UV-blocking at the specified loading.
• ISO 9001 - the extrusion plant is stated as managed and certified under SABS ISO 9001, for consistent production and batch traceability.

Outdoor life is covered by the Value Fencing® Limited Lifetime Warranty, which they state includes no painting or sealing for a minimum of 20 years. Read the warranty document for the actual terms; this eBook is not the warranty contract.

4. For homeowners

Uncertified or imported PVC is associated with:

• Yellowing or fading

Authorised Value Fencing® supply is intended to give you the original system, a documented origin, installation by trained franchise teams, specification against the NBR/SANS rules that apply, and a legally protected brand (2013/26102).

9. Frequently asked questions

What does the trade mark mean?
It means the Value Fencing® name is legally protected (2013/26102). Authenticity still depends on buying through an authorised franchise and matching the markings in this eBook.

Why does locally extruded PVC matter?
Imported PVC is often not formulated for African UV. Value Fencing® compound is specified for local climate.

How do I verify my PVC is genuine?
Use this eBook, franchise paperwork and the official profile markings.

Why does chemical composition matter?
High filler and weak UV packages cause brittleness, cracking and yellowing. The specified formula is meant to avoid those failures.

Is the PVC maintenance-free?
It does not need painting or sealing, and it does not rot or rust. Follow the care and warranty documents for cleaning and exclusions.
