| Performance & Design | North Haven Steel Fence Panel | Aluminium Fence Panel | PVC Fence Panel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Structural Strength | High‑density steel provides exceptional rigidity and a firm, secure feel that reinforces architectural quality | Lightweight material with lower inherent strength and greater flexibility | Plastic‑based construction reliant on internal inserts or reinforcement for stability |
| Feel & Movement | Solid and stable under hand, with minimal flex - creating a sense of permanence | Noticeable movement and flex when pressure is applied | Hollow construction that you can feel, lightweight and less substantial |
| Impact Resistance | Resists denting and deformation, maintaining clean lines and visual order over time | More susceptible to denting or bending from everyday contact | Prone to cracking, splitting, or surface damage under impact and prolonged exposure |
| Craftsmanship & Finish | Precision-fabricated steel with premium coating systems for a refined, enduring finish | Lightweight framing with moderate finish depth with neutral effect on street appeal | Often associated with budget or temporary solutions |
| Manufacturing Origin | 100% Australian made, designed and manufactured for long‑term performance | Commonly imported and produced to generic international standards | Mass‑produced plastic systems, largely imported |
| Guidance & Support | Direct access to an experienced team with full system knowledge from design through installation | Typically reseller‑based support with limited system‑level expertise | Product‑focused support with minimal design or installation guidance |
As one of our most popular designs, the North Haven has become a favourite for a reason.
