Will PVC Fencing turn yellow?
Palkar-'s white products are warranted with a 20 year
guarantee against yellowing and have been field
proven to maintain their color See our Warranty.
Can it break?
PVC Fencing can break if subjected to a direct
impact (e.g., an automobile running into a fence line).
Under normal use, the fence will not break
when installed properly. Pickets and rails are
easily replaced if damaged.
How does it stand up in the wind?
PVC Fences are designed to withstand normal
wind Ioad.The amount of load is dependent on
the installation of the posts and horizontal rails.
If installed according to Palkar's specifications
the fences are designed to stand up to normal
wind load.
Does the product become brittle in winter?
As with most PVC products, vinyl will become
less flexible in colder weather conditions. However
unless subjected to unusual impact, it will not
break or crack. Our products have been engineered
to accommodate normal temperature swings.
Does it expand?
It is normal for PVC materials to expand and contract
during temperature changes. Your contractor will allow for
expansion and contraction during the installation process.
How does it hold up to weed eaters?
As with all PVC and wood products, direct contact with
lawn and garden equipment can cause damage to the posts.
Use caution when operating any type of equipment near
fence posts, especially commercial trimmers, which are more
aggressive.
Do you concrete the posts?
We recommend to concrete the PVC posts - please see our
detailed installation instructions.
Can You make Gates from the product?
Gates can be made from the same material
you use in the fence or railing. See your local
professional for gate fabrication
Can I get custom styles made?
Virtually any style that can be made out of
wood or ornamental iron can be made out
of vinyl. The styles are only limited by your
imagination. Your local dealer/contractor has
a wide variety of styles available to you.
How high can I make the fence?
This question is better left to your local dealer.
It is, however, recommended that any fence
over 4' tall has 3 rails and the posts reinforced.
Always check with local building codes.
Will it crack, chip, peel or rot?
During the life of the product you should not
expect to find surface cracking, peeling, chipping
or rot.
Is it maintenance free?
PVC Fencing does require a limited amount of maintenance.
Under normal conditions this maintenance is in the form
of annual washing of the fence to keep it looking new.
Will it mildew or collect mold?
PVC products will, when subjected to extended damp
weather, collect mold and mildew. They are, however, easily
cleaned with a solution of mild household detergent and
water.
How do you clean the fence?
As with all exterior products, our fence will become dirty
when exposed to the elements. Mild detergent and water
should be sufficient to keep your fence or deck rail looking
new. For tough stains, Soft Scrub or baking soda works well.
Simple Green and 0000 steel wool also works in cleaning
stubborn stains.
ls the fence graffiti proof?
Although not classified as graffiti proof, PVC Fencing is easy
to clean and most paint comes off with just a little effort.
It may require the use of a pressure hose or in extreme
cases the use of paint thinner. 400 grit sandpaper can be
used when some spots will not come off using the above
methods.
