PVC Board
PVC Hollow Board
The straight-rib PVC hollow board range — the everyday board for pen partitions, dividers and bench tops.
Pen Partitions & Penning
Slotted PVC partition panel that divides pens while keeping air moving between them.
Where a pen divider has to be economical rather than impact-proof, an extruded PVC hollow board with a slotted face does the job at a lower cost per square metre than moulded PP. It is the usual choice for internal divisions in farrowing and weaner rooms, where the animals are lighter and the loading is gentler.
Panels are built from the JGM PVC board range, cut to the pen width, and assembled into posts and U-channel from the same profile family.

Key benefits
PVC board is the economical divider where impact loads are modest.
The slotted face keeps air moving between adjacent pens.
Boards are produced to the length of your pen, not to a fixed panel size.
H-connectors, U-channel, L-trim and corner posts are common with the rest of the PVC range.
Sealed PVC chambers do not.
Boards are cut to the pen width instead.
A slotted face keeps the air pattern intact.
One-factory supply
Flooring, penning, feeding, water and climate are made on the same site, so a room can be specified and shipped as one order.

Extruded rigid PVC. The PVC Partition Panel (Vented) is extruded as a continuous profile: rigid PVC compound is fed through a heated screw and drawn through a die that forms both the outer wall and the internal rib pattern in one pass. The profile is then cooled, sized and cut to the length the order calls for, which is why length is a customer dimension rather than a catalogue one.
Comparison
| Alternative | When to choose it instead |
|---|---|
| PP Partition Panels | Move to PP where finishing pigs will lean on and bite the divider. |
| Solid Partition Panel | Use a solid panel where separation, not airflow, is the point. |
| PVC Hollow Board | The hollow board page lists every section this partition is built from. |
Use guide
Set U-channel at the floor and a corner post at each end before fitting boards.
Cut boards to the pen width so the run needs no filler piece.
Keep the slotted face away from the feeder so spilt feed does not pass between pens.
Rinse the slot field during washdown — it is the one place fine material collects.
Answers
PVC is stiffer but less forgiving under impact. It suits farrowing and weaner divisions; for finishing pens, PP is the better material.
They are built from the standard PVC board sections — 500 × 30, 500 × 35 and 600 × 35 mm are the usual choices — and cut to your pen width.
White and grey are standard; other colours are produced on a full-container order.
H-connectors, U-channel, corner posts and L-trim are quoted alongside the boards so the pen arrives complete.
