Why Value Fencing's PVC Installations Outperform in Severe Weather: The Ultimate Vinyl Fencing Guide
Looking for a Fence That Withstands Extreme Conditions? Choose Value Fencing.
When it comes to fencing that truly lasts, not all installations are equal. At Value Fencing, we don't just supply premium PVC fencing - we engineer each installation for extreme durability. Whether you're facing coastal winds, heavy rain, flooding, or summer heat, our advanced vinyl fencing systems are built to endure it all.
The secret? It's in the superior installation method and materials used by Value Fencing.
Engineered to Outlast: Our Proven Installation Method
Unlike most competitors, Value Fencing sets a new standard in vinyl fencing installation. Here's how:
- Minimum 30% of the fence height is securely planted into the soil.
- All holes are backfilled with concrete for unmatched anchoring strength.
- Posts are filled with rebar-reinforced 42.5S concrete mix, poured at 25-30MPa - ensuring structural rigidity that withstands extreme stress.
This meticulous method drastically increases the wind and flood resistance of our PVC fencing, making it ideal for South African weather conditions, especially along the KZN coast and other high-risk regions.
Vinyl Fence Performance in Flood Zones
In the event of flash floods, most fences buckle under the pressure. Not ours.
Thanks to their open design structure, Value Fencing's PVC Palisade fencing systems don't obstruct floodwater flow. This prevents buildup and reduces pressure that typically causes structural failure. Even under heavy debris and erosion, our fences remain intact.
Proof? See our PVC Palisade security fences still standing firm after the devastating KZN floods - even when all the surrounding soil was washed away. That's real-world performance you can count on.
Built to Withstand Gale-Force Winds
PVC or vinyl fences are often advertised as "weather-resistant" - but without proper installation and materials, even the best products can fail in high winds.
At Value Fencing, our vinyl privacy fences are designed and installed to handle winds up to 160km/h (100mph) and Category 1 storm conditions with ease. From Durban's coastal storms to Cape Town's strong winds, our reinforced systems stand the test of time.
The difference lies in:
- Reinforced internal post strength (concrete + rebar)
- Deep-set post placement
- Concrete backfill anchoring
That's why so many homeowners, estates, and commercial clients choose our solutions for peace of mind in volatile weather zones.
No Maintenance. No Rust. Just Peace of Mind.
In contrast to steel or wood fencing, our vinyl fences:
- Never rust or corrode, even in coastal conditions.
- Require no repainting or maintenance - simply wash with water.
- Maintain their clean, white finish for decades.
- Come with a Lifetime Warranty against fading, yellowing, and brittleness.
Boost Curb Appeal & Security Simultaneously
A fence should do more than define a boundary - it should enhance your property's value, visual appeal, and safety.
Whether you're fencing off a garden, pool, estate boundary, or commercial site, our product range includes:
- PVC Palisade fencing (ideal for security)
- PVC Picket fences (perfect for charm and visibility)
- Semi-Private & Full Privacy fencing (great for residential gardens)
- Electric fencing-ready systems (for added perimeter protection)

Case Study: PVC Palisade Fence Withstands Severe Flooding in Durban, KZN
Location: Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Product Installed: PVC Palisade Security Fence
Event: Record-breaking KZN Floods
Installation Detail:
- Post depth: 850mm deep
- Backfill: 42.5S rebar-reinforced concrete at 25-30MPa
- Section width: 1900mm between posts
- Reinforcement: Concrete-filled posts
Challenge: Extreme Soil Erosion After Torrential Rain
In one of Durban's most severe recent storms, relentless flooding led to catastrophic erosion, stripping away more than 1 metre of soil beneath a residential property's perimeter fence. Many structures in the area failed or collapsed under the pressure - but one feature stood strong: the Value Fencing PVC Palisade Fence.
Outcome: Fence Fully Intact - Zero Failure
Despite the full removal of subsoil beneath the fence:
- The PVC Palisade system remained completely upright.
- The structure held its own weight as well as that of three heavy 850mm-deep concrete footings, still in their original positions.
- Zero warping, cracking, or movement occurred in the fence or posts.
- Each 1.9m wide fence panel retained structural integrity without sagging - a rare feat in such compromised conditions.
This performance validates the superior installation method and unmatched material quality provided exclusively by Value Fencing.
Key Factors Behind This Success
- Concrete Planting Depth (850mm):
- Much deeper than industry standard, ensuring anchorage even during total soil displacement.
- Rebar-Reinforced Concrete (25-30MPa):
- Engineered for extreme loading and resistance to shearing, swelling, or cracking.
- 1900mm Wide Fence Sections:
- Designed to optimize strength while minimizing material fatigue under tension.
- In-House Design & Local Manufacturing:
- Value Fencing developed the original PVC Palisade system in South Africa - every detail is tailored for local soil, climate, and storm conditions.
