Are you looking for a durable and attractive solution to define your property boundaries and prevent prying eyes from the busy street? The answer is composite wood fencing. With this material, you get a solution that combines tradition and innovation. Our experts explain what composite is, its benefits, and the key points to watch out for so you can secure your garden and make the right choices.
Composite: what is it?
Composite is an innovative material made from recycled wood fibres mixed with high-density polyethylene. This composition provides an ideal finish for outdoor use and helps keep your fence durable over time.
Composite combines the plastic’s weather resistance with the wood’s natural, warm look. In addition to its strong resistance to weather and climate changes, it is available in many colours and textures to suit every preference.
The benefits of composite fencing
Thanks to the blend of recycled wood and plastic, composite fencing is known for its exceptional durability compared with other types of fencing. Composite fencing is weather-resistant, resistant to wood-boring insects (those that feed on wood), and to rot caused by moisture. As well as being highly resistant, it is also an environmentally friendly choice, as part of its composition includes recycled wood.
The composite’s modern design and distinctive look will make your fence a feature that enhances your garden and its decor—enough to make the neighbours jealous. As for maintenance, composite fencing does not require extensive upkeep: just occasional cleaning with lukewarm soapy water and a sponge without an abrasive surface.
Whether you choose a solid composite fence or slats to fit onto your rigid mesh fence, you will ensure not only a distinctive look, but also effective privacy screening for your garden and the property behind it.
Key points to watch out for with composite fencing
Composite fencing has many advantages; however, you will need to pay attention to several points that could damage your installation. Composite is a material that marks very easily, and even the slightest scratch will show.
That is why it is important to clean both your fence and the surrounding elements regularly (for example, watch out for planters placed nearby). In the event of damage, composite is more difficult to repair and may require replacing the entire panel if you have a rigid fence (you will need to replace the slat if your solution is attached to your rigid mesh fence).
When purchasing, we recommend that you check the composition carefully, even though composite wood is generally environmentally friendly. Some manufacturers do not hesitate to use potentially harmful chemicals to make their panels last over time. This is a very important point to keep in mind to make the right choice and honour your decision to install composite fencing—for a protected environment and a long-lasting installation.
