The history of PVC fences and their applications

The history of PVC fences

The history of PVC fences dates back to the time of the Second World War. As you know, in wartime, all the metal goes to the construction of equipment, and for civilian purposes, improvised materials have to be used. This also happened with irrigation pipes, which were usually made of aluminum, but with a severe shortage of aluminum, manufacturers were forced to make them from plastic. Unfortunately, the plastic was quite susceptible to environmental conditions and quickly lost its shape in the sun.

Gradually, the technology for the production of plastic pipes has undergone technical progress. Manufacturers began to experiment with different materials, seeking maximum strength, flexibility, resistance to weather conditions and environmental factors that they could be exposed to (chemicals, fertilizers). Thus, a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material was developed with additives that helped provide the most practical material. Such material was not afraid of the sun and was resistant to many acids, alkalis, mineral oils, solvents. Such pipes were in demand, respectively, manufacturers were looking for what other products can be made from the materials obtained.

Thus, window manufacturers considered this material strong enough and aesthetically pleasing for their products and began to master the production of metal-plastic windows, while American plastic manufacturers considered that garden fences and decorations could be made from the same material. PVC products were aesthetically pleasing, durable, weather resistant, durable (50+ years service life!), so they were in demand! Gradually, such fences gained popularity and became commonplace on American streets. Even if you watch American films where house plots are shown, you can very often see PVC fences near garages or on the territory itself, or at the border of the site. Often hedges grow on such fences, which makes the site more natural. In addition to fences, PVC is used for the production of gazebos, arches, stair railings and other decorations.

- PVC fences for playgrounds, sports grounds;

- PVC fences for dividing the internal territory into functional areas (garden, walking area, florist, etc.);

- Decorative PVC fences for cafes and restaurants;

- PVC fences for parking lots;

- Fences made of PVC pens for livestock;

- Lattices and trellises for loaches.

Advantages of plastic fences:

- PVC fences, unlike wooden ones, do not crumble;

- do not lose their appearance under the influence of the environment, do not change color, frost-resistant;

- do not demand special leaving, are easily cleared of pollution;

- ease and low cost of installing PVC fences, which can be done independently;

- do not require a foundation;

- Very organic appearance;
Characteristics:

PVC fences are characterized by the following parameters:

- Type of fence (appearance);

- Dimensions:

Fences in the form of a lattice are supplied with dimensions: height 1.15 m, length 2.44 m.

- PVC fence color - white or beige, depending on the type of fence;

- Scope - external fencing of the territory, division of the territory into functional zones, fencing of agricultural areas;

- Transparency - deaf, fence, combined

Gates and gates:

- Height: 50 mm less than the fence to which they belong

- Width: gate - 3000 mm, gate - 910 mm.

Arbors, arches (pergolas), railings:

- Pavilions: height 2.5 m, width 2.6 m, length 4.0 m;

- Arches: height 2.18 m, width 1.22 m, depth 0.61 m;

- Railing: height 1.1 m, post 102x102x1300 mm

The weight of the section can vary from 10 to 40 kg depending on the type of fence

Package. PVC fences are packed in polyethylene film, cardboard. The number of units in the package is individual.

1 plastic fence unit = 1 section + 1 bearing post with cap.

1 gate/gate unit = 1 gate/gate leaf + hinges

1 unit pergolas/arches (pergolas) = 1 set of panels to assemble

In the carrier column, holes are present on both sides for attaching the section. The corner post has holes on two adjacent sides. The final post has holes on one side only and is used to complete the fence section. The strengthened column is intended for installation of gates and gate. It is reinforced with an aluminum profile. Corner, final and reinforced posts are purchased separately.
