What is vinyl fencing/decking made of?
The base ingredient is rigid PVC (polyvinyl chloride) homopolymer compound, with a high level of titanium Dioxide pigment for long term, ultraviolet (UV) light resistance and impact modifiers for superior strength. All of our product line is made from virgin polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other critical ingredients such as UV inhibitors and impact modifiers. This gives the material long-term durability, flexibility and weather ability. FENCETASTIC Vinyl Fencing/Decking is manufactured with the highest industry UV protection for the harshest climates of Australia.

No. Unlike the mass-produced plastic products you may be familiar with our product line is engineered to maintain its true colour for a lifetime. Our products contain 10% titanium dioxide (Ti02) as well as other chemical additives that prevent ultraviolet degradation. Yellowing in vinyl products is due to the sun's ultraviolet rays. This amount of extremely effective UV inhibitor guarantees to hold up in the most extreme climates.

PVC has a flash point of 900° fahrenheit and does not readily ignite. Vinyl, therefore, is classified as "self-extinguishing".

How strong is vinyl?
FENCETASTIC vinyl fence/deck has been impact modified with a chemical compound. The product formula has been tailored to provide optimum performance and strength. Our vinyl has 5 times the tensile strength and 4 times the flexibility of wood.

Does the FENCETASTIC fence/deck retain stains?
The FENCETASTIC fence/deck is specifically designed to resist permanent staining. An almost invisible surface protects the porous surface thus stains including most spray paints do not adhere to the under-surface which, like timber, will absorb moisture. The FENCETASTIC fence/deck requires little maintenance, is durable and lasts for many years.

How do I clean my vinyl fencing/decking?

Of course, dramatic and direct impact such as being struck by a car can cause damage, so it's good to know that all FENCETASTIC vinyl fencing/decking components are easy to replace.

Will fencing/decking become brittle in cold weather?
