PVC Resin Prices Crashed 65% — Why Hasn’t Yours?

PVC resin is the core raw material used to manufacture PVC fencing. Its price is one of the biggest drivers of what fencing actually costs to produce — so when resin prices move, it says a lot about whether a supplier’s pricing is honest.

The numbers

In October 2021, PVC resin in China peaked at 13,420 Yuan per ton. Today, that same resin trades at just 4,680 Yuan per ton — a fall of nearly 65%.

Despite this dramatic drop in raw material costs, many fencing suppliers have continued to raise their prices, often citing general inflation as the reason.

Why Fendeck’s pricing hasn’t moved

At Fendeck, we believe pricing should track reality, not convenience. As our input costs have fallen, we have held our pricing steady instead of using inflation as cover for increases that raw material costs don’t justify.

This is backed by a premium product and the only 30-year warranty in the industry — because fair pricing means nothing without lasting quality behind it. It’s why homeowners, property developers, builders, renovators, schools, sectional title complexes, and retirement complexes across South Africa trust Fendeck.

Before you accept your next fencing quote, ask your supplier a simple question: if their raw material costs have fallen by two-thirds, why hasn’t their price?

Which PVC fence post is better? 102x102mm or 76x76mm

Not all PVC fence posts are built the same — and the difference can decide whether your fence stands strong for 30 years or fails within a few.

Fendeck manufactures two post profiles: our premium 102x102mm post with a 4mm wall thickness, and a lighter 76x76mm post with just a 2mm wall. The 76x76mm post is only rated for fencing up to 0.9m in height — anything taller needs the strength of the 102x102mm profile.

Here’s what South African homeowners and developers should know: some suppliers quote cheaper prices by quietly substituting thin-walled 76x76mm posts on jobs that call for taller fencing — in some cases even filling the hollow post with concrete to make it feel solid at handover. It isn’t a substitute for genuine wall thickness, and it isn’t disclosed to the customer paying for “premium” fencing.

Since 2005, Fendeck has built its reputation on using the correct post for the job, backed by the only 30-year warranty in the industry. Before you accept a quote, ask exactly which post size and wall thickness will be installed.

Which PVC Fencing supplier offers best value for money

South African homeowners, contractors, and property developers are often stuck choosing between cheap PVC fencing that doesn’t last, and premium fencing priced out of reach. Fendeck removes that trade-off.

We manufacture and sell Premium PVC fencing directly to homeowners and contractors — no middlemen, no inflated margins — which is how we keep our prices up to 20% lower than other PVC fencing suppliers in South Africa. We don’t overcharge, and we don’t cut corners to hit a lower price point.

Every Fendeck fence — palisade, picket, or balustrading — comes backed by a 30-year warranty, the longest in the industry and a full 10 years longer than any other South African PVC fencing company offers. That’s not a promotional number; it’s a reflection of the material and manufacturing quality we build into every panel.

Whether you’re fencing a single home, a security estate, a school, or a multi-unit development, direct-to-market pricing means you get premium performance without paying a premium markup.

Which products are best for coastal homes?

Which products are best for coastal homes?

PVC fencing and gates are the best choice for coastal homes because they do not rust, rot, or corrode in salt air. Premium UV-stabilised PVC can last 30+ years in coastal conditions with near-zero maintenance.

Coastal environments in areas like Seaview, Port Elizabeth expose building materials to salt concentrations of approximately CX/C5, humidity levels often exceeding 60%, and UV index ratings regularly above 8. These conditions rapidly degrade traditional materials like steel and timber.

Metal gates typically show visible corrosion within 12–24 months in coastal conditions if not properly maintained, while untreated timber fencing can begin to warp, crack, or rot within 2–3 years. Maintenance cycles (painting, sealing, rust treatment) are usually required every 6–12 months, depending on exposure.

Why does PVC outperform metal and timber at the coast?

PVC outperforms metal and timber because it is non-reactive to salt, does not absorb moisture, and contains UV stabilisers that prevent degradation. It requires no painting, sealing, or rust treatment over its lifespan.

Fendeck Premium PVC is manufactured with UV inhibitors and impact modifiers, preventing brittleness and colour fade even under constant sun exposure. Unlike steel, which oxidises, or timber, which absorbs moisture, PVC remains structurally stable.

Independent testing shows high-quality PVC retains its structural integrity for 30+ years, whereas powder-coated steel coatings typically begin to fail within 2 years in marine environments.

What maintenance is required for PVC fencing at the coast?

PVC fencing requires only basic cleaning with water. No painting, sealing, or chemical treatment is ever needed.

In most coastal installations, a rinse with a garden hose every 2–4 weeks is sufficient to remove salt deposits and maintain appearance. There are zero ongoing material maintenance costs, compared to metal and timber which require recurring labour and product costs.

How long does PVC fencing last in coastal conditions?

Premium PVC fencing is designed to last 30 years or more in coastal environments. Fendeck backs this with a 30-year warranty.

This lifespan is based on long-term exposure performance and stabilised formulations designed for high UV regions like South Africa. Fendeck is currently the only PVC fencing supplier in South Africa offering a 30-year written warranty.

What does a real coastal PVC installation look like?

A properly installed PVC fence and gate will look the same after 10+ years as it did on day one. It will not show rust, peeling paint, or structural decay.

A recent installation in Seaview included a horizontal picket wall extension and matching rolling gate. Unlike neighbouring metal and timber installations that show visible wear within a few years, this installation is expected to maintain its appearance for decades with minimal cleaning.

Is PVC fencing worth the higher upfront cost?

Yes, PVC fencing is more cost-effective over time because it eliminates maintenance and replacement costs. Total lifecycle cost is significantly lower than metal or timber.

While initial installation may cost 10% more than galvanized steel or treated timber, the savings start showing after 4 years

No repainting (typically required every 1–2 years)
No rust repairs or replacements
No sealing or treatment costs
No labour for ongoing maintenance


Who should choose PVC fencing for coastal properties?

PVC fencing is ideal for homeowners, developers, and property managers who want a long-term, maintenance-free solution. It is especially suited for high-exposure coastal areas.

Typical use cases include:

New coastal homes
Beachfront estates
Residential complexes
Holiday rental properties
Boundary wall upgrades

PVC Pipe Coverings for Apartment Blocks & Schemes

Exposed pipework, scuffed common-area walls, and ageing balustrades quietly chip away at the value of every unit in a sectional title scheme — and the trustees and managing agents are the ones fielding the complaints.

Fendeck & Rail PVC Pipe Coverings for Apartment Blocks & Schemes are built specifically for this problem. We install custom PVC coverings that conceal exposed pipes and wiring, refresh tired walkways, and give balconies, staircases, parking areas and basements a clean, modern, uniform finish — across an entire complex.

Why managing agents and bodies corporate are specifying Fendeck: it protects pipework from impact damage and UV exposure, reduces long-term maintenance and repainting costs, and is designed to be maintenance-friendly so plumbers or electricians can access services quickly when needed. The PVC itself is weather and coastal-climate resistant — it won’t rust, rot or warp — and adds measurable value to every unit in the scheme. Installation is fast, clean and professional, with disruption to residents kept to a minimum.

A single upgrade to common areas raises the perceived value of the entire building — and residents notice the difference the moment they walk through the front gate.

If you manage a sectional title complex, body corporate or apartment block and you’re tired of repainting the same scuffed walls every two years, let’s talk. We do free site assessments anywhere in the country.

Why PVC Cladding Beats Wood & Fibre Cement on Steel Frames

When clients ask why we recommend PVC cladding for steel frames over wood or fibre cement, the answer comes down to long-term performance.

Wood looks beautiful on day one. By year three it’s warping, splitting, or rotting at the cut edges where moisture gets in. Fibre cement seems durable until the fasteners start working loose — every contraction cycle pulls them a little further out, and within five years the panels are sagging.

PVC solves both problems: light enough that the steel frame doesn’t carry extra dead load. Won’t rot, warp, or absorb moisture — it’s the same material in year 30 as it is on day one. Fasteners stay tight because the panel doesn’t shrink, swell, or flex with temperature. No painting, sealing, or treating — ever.

These photos show recent installations where PVC cladding was used to finish steel-framed boundary walls and gates. Same structural system, different finish — and a 30-year warranty on the cladding itself.

For homeowners and contractors weighing materials at the boundary stage, this is the trade-off worth understanding before the steel frame goes up.
