How PVC Picket Fences Are Installed
Professional installation is essential to ensure long-term performance.
Standard Installation Method
PVC fence posts are installed by:
- Digging post holes
- Setting posts into the ground
- Reinforcing with steel where required
- Filling with 25MPA structural concrete
Typically 50% of the fence height is buried below ground level to provide structural stability.
This ensures the fence remains strong, straight and durable for many years.
Posts can also be installed:
• On concrete slabs
• On top of walls
• As wall raisers
Municipal bylaws generally allow fencing heights up to 2.4 metres depending on zoning regulations.
PVC Gates Available
Value Fencing also manufactures custom PVC gates to match the fencing style.
Gate Options
Garden gates
Pedestrian gates
Courtyard gates
Driveway sliding gates
Double swing driveway gates
All gates can be designed to match the existing fence style or be custom built to project specifications.
