Composite, a blend of wood and polymers, offers an excellent alternative to conventional fences thanks to its robustness and low maintenance requirements. Whether you wish to protect your privacy or simply enhance your outdoor space, choosing a fence kit with screening slats requires taking several essential criteria into account.

The Advantages of a Composite Fence

Protecting your privacy and delimiting your property while preserving the aesthetics of your outdoor space—this is the challenge that composite fencing addresses. However, with the numerous options available, it is not always straightforward to make the right choice.

Composite combines the qualities of wood and PVC to offer a durable and aesthetic solution. This material withstands weather, UV rays, and requires virtually no maintenance, unlike natural wood which demands regular treatment.

The natural appearance of composite integrates perfectly into all garden styles. Available in several shades and finishes, it retains its original color over the years without graying or fading.

The Different Types of Composite Fence Kits

Composite fence kits come in several models. The classic version alternates solid slats and posts for a sober and elegant finish. The slatted model allows light to pass through while maintaining a degree of privacy.

Cloture Discount also offers mixed kits combining composite with other materials such as aluminum, for more contemporary designs. Heights generally range from 1m to 1.80m to suit all requirements.

Essential Criteria for Choosing Your Kit

The first step is to define the primary function of your fence: complete privacy, partial screening, or simple delimitation. The configuration of your property also influences the choice: slope, soil type, wind exposure.

The quality of the composite is decisive for the longevity of your installation. Favor solid slats rather than hollow ones, which are more resistant to impacts and weather conditions. Also check the thickness of the slats and the strength of the fixings.

The Budget to Plan for a Composite Fence

The price of a composite fence kit varies according to the quality of the material and the dimensions. Expect to pay between €35 and €70 per linear meter for a complete kit including slats, posts, and fixings. Naturally, the total cost will depend on the height and the number of linear meters required.

The initial investment may seem higher than for other materials, but it is quickly offset by the absence of maintenance and the durability of composite, which can reach 20 years under good conditions.

Installing a Composite Fence Kit

The installation of a composite fence is accessible to experienced DIY enthusiasts. Assembly is done by fitting the various elements together: setting the posts, fixing the rails, and inserting the slats.

Careful preparation of the ground and precise alignment of the posts are essential to ensure a durable and aesthetic result. For complex properties or long runs, it is advisable to call on a professional.
