PVC Wall Raisers & Privacy Screens: The Smart Way to Add Privacy, Height and Style to Existing Walls
More Privacy. More Possibilities.
Many South African homeowners love their properties but wish they had a little more privacy.
Whether it's overlooking neighbours, increased traffic, nearby developments, pool areas, entertainment spaces or simply a desire for greater seclusion, raising an existing boundary wall can dramatically improve the comfort and functionality of an outdoor space.
Traditionally, increasing wall height meant expensive brickwork, disruptive construction and significant maintenance. Today, there is a smarter alternative.
Value Fencing® PVC Wall Raisers and Privacy Screens provide an attractive, durable and low-maintenance solution for adding height, privacy and architectural appeal to existing boundary walls.
Designed specifically for South African conditions, these systems offer a practical way to transform ordinary walls into beautiful privacy features without the cost and disruption associated with conventional masonry construction.
Why Homeowners Are Choosing PVC Wall Raisers
Privacy has become one of the most requested improvements in modern residential design.
As properties become more compact and developments more densely populated, homeowners are looking for effective ways to create private outdoor spaces without sacrificing appearance.
PVC wall raisers offer several advantages:
Increased privacy
Improved security perception
Enhanced property appearance
Architectural interest
Lower cost than rebuilding walls
Fast installation
Minimal maintenance
Long-term durability
Custom design flexibility
The result is a more comfortable and visually appealing outdoor environment.

Explore Our Most Popular Styles
One of the biggest advantages of Value Fencing® wall raisers is the wide range of available styles.
Horizontal Wall Raisers
Modern horizontal slats create a clean architectural appearance that complements contemporary homes and developments.
Vertical Board Screens
Provide excellent privacy with timeless vertical styling suitable for both traditional and modern properties.
Lattice Top Screens
Add decorative charm while allowing airflow and filtered visibility.
Picket Top Screens
Offer a classic look while increasing wall height and definition.

Louvre Screens

Each design can be customised to suit the specific architectural style of the property.
Increase Privacy Without Sacrificing Beauty
One of the common concerns when increasing wall height is creating a bulky or unattractive appearance.
PVC privacy screens solve this problem by introducing visually lighter design elements that enhance the appearance of the boundary rather than overwhelming it.
The clean lines, neat finishes and crisp appearance of PVC complement virtually any property style.
Instead of creating a fortress-like effect, wall raisers can add sophistication and elegance while improving privacy.
Built for South African Conditions
South African weather can be demanding on outdoor products.
Strong sunlight, coastal air, seasonal rains and temperature fluctuations all take their toll on traditional materials.
Value Fencing® PVC wall raisers are designed specifically for local conditions and offer excellent resistance to:
UV exposure
Moisture
Corrosion
Rust
Rot
Salt-air environments
Insect damage
Weathering
This makes them an ideal long-term solution for homeowners seeking reliable performance.
No Painting. No Sanding. No Hassle.
One of the biggest benefits of PVC is the elimination of ongoing maintenance.
Traditional timber privacy screens often require:
Painting
Sealing
Sanding
Repairing
Replacement of damaged boards
Similarly, metal screens may require rust treatment and repainting over time.
PVC removes these maintenance concerns.
Simply wash the screens periodically and enjoy years of attractive performance.
Customisable Heights to Suit Your Needs
Every property is unique.
Some homeowners require a modest privacy enhancement while others need significant additional screening.
Value Fencing® wall raisers can be manufactured in various heights and configurations to suit specific requirements.
This flexibility allows property owners to achieve the ideal balance between privacy, aesthetics and compliance with local regulations where applicable.
Improve Property Value and Street Appeal
Privacy improvements are among the most valuable upgrades homeowners can make.
A professionally installed privacy screen system can:
Improve outdoor living enjoyment
Enhance curb appeal
Increase perceived value
Create a more premium appearance
Improve entertaining areas
Enhance poolside privacy
Provide better separation from neighbouring properties
These benefits make wall raisers a practical investment as well as an aesthetic improvement.
