Other companies say that coloured fencing will fade rapidly, will AtoZ Fences products fade?

All of AtoZ Fences coloured products are made from a PVC acrylic composite, the PVC makes up the structure of the profile and the Acrylic capping layer provides the colour. This is very important as coloured PVC that is not capped will fade very fast. Whilst we use the best products available today a 10-year-old fence will not look like a 10-week-old fence. (It will however look significantly better than a 10-year-old timber fence)

How do the rails and pickets lock in?

Picket, Horizontal Slat and Post & Rail fences have a crimp on the rail and pickets facing outward. The crimp is designed to allow you to push the rail into the post but not pull out. AtoZ Fences hires the crimping tool to create the crimp. Mystique Privacy requires the rails to be tek-screwed in.

What if I need to shorten a Panel?

AtoZ Fences will always round up your requirements to the next panel ensuring you have enough materials for your job.

If rails need to be cut to shorten a panel, you may need to re-crimp the rail with the supplied crimping tool.
