How we can help you design the perfect PVC fence

How it all started

If you have ever called the Think Fencing office, then there is a good chance you and I have chatted about your fencing project… My name is Jess! I have been working at Think Fencing for just over 4 years helping customers with their new fencing designs and orders.

Before starting at Think Fencing, I was working at a small Fish & Chips shop in Geelong and had never really had a customer service job.

Then the opportunity came up to work for Think Fencing. When I met the small team at Think Fencing for the Job interview I was hooked on how passionate the team is for helping people design and deliver a seemingly mundane product. As a 21 year old girl whose passion is Makeup and Macedonian Dancing I didn’t even know the difference between one fence to another.

Our job is to assist you with creating your dream fence.

My Job cooking fish and chips and dealing with the public, in some way, was going to set me up for designing and selling PVC fences! It all seemed a little scary at first as I had no idea what PVC even was – I am now a self proclaimed PVC fencing expert!

With the memory still fresh in my mind as to how little I knew of fencing, especially PVC fencing, I feel I am the most qualified to explain how our fencing systems work, and how we can make it work for you. As you may know, the team at Think Fencing do not do cold calling, we don’t have sales targets, or get paid commissions. Our job is to assist you with creating your dream fence. I can help you with all of the tricky questions and designs, such as “Can my fence be built on a slope”, or “How big does my gate need to be to get a 21 foot Jayco through”.

I love being able to help you on the design journey of your new fence. Just check out our reviews on Facebook or Google!! I can’t always take all the credit as I work with an amazing team.

Let me tell you about a typical Think Fencing journey…

Starting a PVC fencing project requires answers to a number of questions, but no more than you could expect from any other kind of project. With the right assistance and guidance, you will achieve the perfect fence you’ve always dreamed of.

Clearing the site and removing the existing fencing

Here are some tips and considerations on organising your fencing project.

Things you may consider:
  • Can you remove the fence yourself? A lot of contractors are happy to not only quote the install but the removal of existing fences as well.  
  • Is the fence line level or on a slope? The best way to figure this out is to hold a tight string line across your property and then measure the distance/gap underneath.
Information our sales team will need to know in order to quote your fencing project:
  • Which design would you like? Are you after the traditional picket fence look, a classy heritage style or a sleek modern look. Designs of our fencing can be found on our website or Product Catalogue.
  • How high would you like your fence? Is it to keep things in or to keep prying eyes out?
  • What colour fence would you like? We have 11 different colours to choose from. Starting with White and ending with our darkest colour Night Mist.
  • What are your measurements? This is where our sales team will require a very rough drawn sketch from you to assist us with quoting your fencing project accurately. It does not matter if the diagram is not perfect, we can’t all be Picasso!
  • Do you need any gates? We have a range of single, doubles & sliding gates to suit your opening requirements. Don’t want to get out of your car to open the gates? I know I don’t, that’s why we have Automation Systems for all sizes.
Can you install yourself?
  • Our PVC fencing is made to be a DIY system. Are you able to measure & install the fencing yourself. No? Have no fear, we are happy to recommend installers that have worked with our products and are able to assist.
  • Keep in mind any handyman or fencing contractor should have no troubles installing our fence.
Talking to a contractor

Things you may consider:

  • Is the fence line level or on a slope? The best way to figure this out is to hold a tight string line across your property and then measure the distance/gap underneath.

The most important thing to remember is that no questions are too silly. I’ve heard, and answered, them all.

Thanks for taking the time to have a read of how you can go about getting your perfect fence – hopefully we’ll be talking soon about making that fence a reality 🙂

Best Australian PVC Manufacturer?

Who we are

Founded in 1999, Think Fencing has quickly established itself as Australia’s most respected PVC and composite fence manufacturer. One key aspect of our company’s success that has helped cement its position, is that all products are manufactured in Australia by us. Which is not only good for the local economy, but has enabled us to develop our PVC Fencing products to withstand Australia’s harshest weather conditions!

Residential Fencing

We supply many products including:
PVC Picket Fencing for use in domestic applications, along with commercial fencing used in Cricket, AFL. In addition, other sporting grounds have used our PVC fencing including the Albany Cricket Ground. Our Picket Fencing’s pop-out railing system has been designed with player safety in mind that reduces the risk of player injury without compromising on the clean professional White Picket Fence look for the club and its patrons. All whilst being extremely low maintenance and durable.

Grey Mystique Privacy Fence

Horse Fencing

Our world class horse fencing systems have been the foundation upon which all other products have been created. Our Horse Fencing has been used by international horse studs and pony clubbers alike, from PVC dressage arenas, broadacre stud fencing and feature entrances. Our most popular horse fencing products are Equirail, Zappa Rail, and Timberline Post and Rail due to their horse safe construction and long life.

Our Equirail and Zappa Rail Horse Fencing products can be used in conjunction with each other to create a strong fencing structure, attached to either timber or PVC fence posts. Post and Rail Horse Fencing products are used on larger properties not only used as a barrier but also a clean long-term option for a rural fencing environment. This PVC fencing can be fitted with a conducting wire and energiser to create an elegant electrified fence system.

Fencing Technology

Think Fencing has been consistently improving its operations; from developing leading-edge manufacturing techniques and equipment, through to expanding the business to accommodate for new production lines.

We take our commitment to Australian manufacturing seriously and will continue to push back against cheaper imported products in favor of our high quality Aussie PVC fencing products using the latest technology and equipment.

Customer Service

Our pride lies mostly in the interaction between the business and the consumer, always putting the customer first. Throughout the sales process a dedicated customer service representative will be available for any queries before and after the purchase of your PVC fencing project. Also, as your PVC fence nears completion a team member from our fabrication department will help in making sure all aspects of your fence, be it a Picket Fence, Privacy screen or Horse fence are designed and fabricated to the correct dimensions.

Innovation and Technology

Through constant improvements in product manufacturing and sustainability, we are proud to have developed a world first in manufacturing decking using our own recycled PVC technology. And have been awarded a state government grant in 2020. The PVC decking will be in the final stages of development in early 2021. Our decking will consist of 95% recycled plastics derived from post and production PVC feedstock, including construction materials. By progressing into this sector we will expand our business significantly whilst providing more jobs for the local community. This technology and product range will also be addressing a significant environmental issue.

Our partners

We also work hard to help many leading-edge Australian companies develop their plastic products, leveraging our state of the art fencing technology. One example is Simtrack who are the world’s leading PVC racetrack running rail and starting gate manufacturer. We have worked hand in hand with Simtrack for almost a decade to develop and now manufacture their entire PVC running rail system under licence. Supplying such tracks as Flemington Race Club in Melbourne and ShaTin Raceclub in Hong Kong, along with over 100 metropolitan and regional racecourses.

Our technology has also lent itself to working with a leading mechanical ventilation company ECO-DUCT to develop its range of Low Profile ducting. And are now the only company to not only to have achieved the accreditation of Best Environmental Practice PVC, but also adhere to the fire rating of UL181 and AS/NZ 1530.3

Innovation of further products and ways of thinking differently will always underpin the growth of Think Fencing. Our team is always changing the way Australia adopts new products. And I am proud to work for a company like that.

Think Fencing sponsoring Equitana 2018

Equitana and Think Fencing.

Founder of Think Fencing Jack Fitzgerald first attended Equitana over 15 years ago. At this time the event was held at the Melbourne exhibition centre.

A humble strip of flex-able plastic was the first product to be introduced to horse enthusiasts.  Named WIA-COAT.  This is clipped over a plain wire fence to improve its visibility, therefore making it safer.  WIA-COAT gained in popularity as a simple way to improve the safety of existing fences.

Equitana was the perfect platform to launch this product and effectively launch the company.  From one employee back then to now employing over 50 staff and contractors. Think Fencing is leading composite fencing design, not only in rural, but in residential fencing also.

Think Fencing is the supplier of all fencing systems used by Equitana in Australia and New Zealand.

Be sure to visit the team at Equitana 2018 and view the future of modern horse fencing!

Still 100% Australian made, and we are proud of that.

Shh.. Don’t tell anyone it’s plastic.

As standard Think Fencing offers a range of heritage and modern colours designed to complement any style of house. Think fencing uses technology enabling its fencing systems to be made with a woodgrain finish, making for a truly beautiful fence.

Thinking about the environment.

PVC fencing is fast gaining popularity due to its cost and low maintenance.  PVC is a polymer derived from 57% Natural sea salt. Consequently Think Fencing’s range of fencing is the only fencing range worldwide, that is made using certified Best Practice PVC.  With this being said it contains no harsh chemicals and its production adheres to strict environmental guidelines. Including using recycled material and being 100% Recyclable.

Installation

A PVC fence installed by Jim’s fencing comes with our quality guarantee. It will never need painting, it will never rot and is designed to last a lifetime.  

Lending to its simplistic design installation is very fast. All slots in the posts and rails are pre cut allowing for the fence to clip together once the posts have been concreted into the ground.

If any of the fence components are damaged they can be easily replaced.  On top of this, if they are vandalised by graffiti it can be easily removed using a warm soapy water solution.
