The full name of pvc fence is pvc plastic steel fence; its “plastic steel” is called because the only disadvantage of plastic is its poor rigidity. Therefore, when assembling the structure, the plastic structural parts are lined with steel as reinforcing ribs according to the wind load requirements to make up for its shortcomings, so it is called plastic steel fence. Today, when PVC fences are widely used, there must be many questions about daily care, so let Xubang share some little knowledge about PVC fences with you.

PVC is a non-toxic, harmless, energy-saving and recyclable green environmental protection material.
2. How to make PVC fence?
PVC fence is made of profiles, injection molded parts, and in a few occasions, aluminum profiles are required to be assembled by special tenon joints. The manufacturing of profiles is similar to the process of making cakes. First, more than ten kinds of raw material components are fully mixed, and then processed into materials at an appropriate temperature and time; then the reinforcing materials are sealed in the profiles and connected to become fences. The reinforcement material is isolated from the atmosphere, and any part of the new PVC fence developed by the company will not rust.

The product will not turn yellow, because a large amount of imported light and heat stabilizers and ultraviolet absorbers are added to the entire section of the profile.

The steel fence has a short lifespan due to rust. Therefore, in terms of the long life of PVC fences of more than 25 years, the comprehensive price and performance-price ratio advantages of PVC fences are very obvious.
14. Can it be used for livestock or safety fences?
