Zimbabwe's First PVC Scalloped Top Picket Fence Installation in Harare by Value Fencing®
A Landmark Project That Redefines Modern Fencing in Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe's property landscape is evolving - and with it, the expectations of homeowners, developers, and investors.
For years, fencing options have remained largely unchanged. Wood, steel, and concrete have dominated the market despite their well-known limitations. Constant maintenance, rising repair costs, and aging aesthetics have become accepted as part of property ownership.
That changes now.
With the introduction of Zimbabwe's first PVC scalloped top picket fence installation in Harare, Value Fencing® has brought a globally proven solution into a market ready for transformation.
This is not just another fencing project.
It is the beginning of a new standard in property presentation, durability, and long-term value.
Why This Installation Is a Major Milestone
This project represents a critical shift in the Zimbabwean fencing industry.
For the first time, property owners now have access to a fencing solution that combines:
• International design standards
• Modern materials engineered for longevity
• Minimal maintenance requirements
• Strong aesthetic appeal
This installation is significant because it:
• Introduces PVC picket fencing into Zimbabwe
• Showcases the scalloped top design in a local context
• Demonstrates real-world performance in Harare conditions
• Establishes Value Fencing® Harare as a market leader
For homeowners, it signals better options.
For developers, it signals smarter long-term investments.
What Is a Scalloped Top PVC Picket Fence?
The scalloped top picket fence is one of the most recognised and desirable fencing styles worldwide.
It blends decorative elegance with practical functionality.
Core Design Elements
• A gently curved top line across each panel
• Uniform vertical pickets with precise spacing
• Clean, structured alignment
• Open visual feel while maintaining boundary definition
Why This Design Works So Well
Unlike harsh, solid boundaries, the scalloped picket fence creates a balanced visual effect:
• It feels welcoming rather than defensive
• It enhances rather than hides the property
• It complements landscaping and architecture
• It adds character without complexity
In the Harare installation, this design was carefully adapted to suit local property styles while maintaining global design quality.
The Real Problem with Traditional Fencing
To understand the value of PVC fencing, it is important to look at the limitations of what has been used for decades.
Wood Fencing
Wood may offer a natural look initially, but it quickly becomes a maintenance burden:
• Susceptible to rot and moisture damage
• Requires frequent repainting or sealing
• Vulnerable to termites and pests
• Warps and cracks over time
Steel and Metal Fencing
Steel fencing introduces a different set of problems:
• Rust and corrosion are inevitable
• Requires regular maintenance and coating
• Can degrade quickly in certain conditions
• Often loses its visual appeal over time
Concrete and Masonry Walls
While durable, these come with trade-offs:
• High installation cost
• Limited aesthetic flexibility
• Cracking and structural wear over time
• Heavy and visually intrusive
The Value Fencing® Solution: PVC That Changes Everything
PVC fencing eliminates the ongoing problems associated with traditional materials.
It is designed for long-term performance with minimal intervention.
Key Advantages
1. Lifetime No Maintenance
This is the biggest differentiator.
• No painting
• No sealing
• No rust treatment
• No structural repairs
Once installed, the fence maintains its appearance and integrity for years.
2. Built for Harare Conditions
PVC fencing performs exceptionally well in local environments:
• Resistant to UV exposure
• Handles seasonal rainfall
• Maintains structure under temperature variation
This makes it ideal for Zimbabwe's climate.
3. Long-Term Cost Efficiency
While initial installation may be a premium option, the long-term savings are substantial:
• No repainting costs

The result is lower lifetime ownership cost.
4. Clean, Premium Aesthetic
The bright white finish delivers:
• A crisp, modern appearance
• Strong visual contrast against landscaping
• Immediate curb appeal
It elevates the overall perception of the property.

The project followed a structured process to ensure consistency and durability.
Step 1: Site Assessment
