While the goal is quite simple, choosing the material is a bit less so. Should you opt for wooden slats or composite boards? At <a class=\"ng-star-inserted\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cloture-discount.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-hveid=\"0\" data-ved=\"0CAAQ_4QMahgKEwiwj7XlrO-SAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQ9wI\">Districlos<\/a>, we are often asked this question.   <\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"1\">Visual appearance, maintenance, lifespan: <strong>here&#8217;s what you need to know to choose wisely!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"2\">Wood: Living and Warm<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\">Wood remains a reliable choice for natural integration into a garden. These slats are often made of <b data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"105\">class 4 autoclave-treated pine<\/b>, which protects them from fungi and insects. Visually, it works very well to break up the metallic and cold appearance of a <b data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"272\">rigid fence<\/b>.  <\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">However, be aware that wood is a living material. Under the effect of sun and rain, it will inevitably turn grey. Some people love this natural patina. If this is not your preference, you will need to apply a saturator or wood stain every two or three years. This is the main constraint of this <b data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"301\">natural material<\/b>.    <\/p>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"5\">Composite: Peace of Mind Above All<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">If you do not want to spend your weekends maintaining your fence, composite is a good alternative. Made from a mixture of wood fibers and plastic (often polyethylene), these <b data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"215\">composite boards<\/b> are resistant to moisture. They do not rot, do not split, and most importantly, do not splinter.  <\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">Their great advantage is color. Mass-tinted, composite hardly changes over the years, even in direct sunlight. <\/p>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"8\">Maintenance and Installation<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">For cleaning, composite only requires a simple spray of water or a wipe with a soapy sponge in the spring to remove dust, whereas wood requires regular treatments.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10\">For installation, both options are equivalent. Installation is done without specific tools: the slats are slid vertically into the mesh of the panel. The fastening system depends on the models, with finishing clips or simple wedging into the fence folds.  <\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11\">The real point of attention concerns your current fence. Before ordering, check the spacing of your mesh (often 50 or 55 mm). Above all, ensure that your <b data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"169\"><a class=\"ng-star-inserted\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cloture-discount.fr\/324-poteau-grillage-rigide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-hveid=\"0\" data-ved=\"0CAAQ_4QMahgKEwiwj7XlrO-SAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQ-AI\">fence posts<\/a><\/b> are sealed solidly enough to withstand wind resistance once the <a class=\"ng-star-inserted\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cloture-discount.fr\/6-brise-vue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-hveid=\"0\" data-ved=\"0CAAQ_4QMahgKEwiwj7XlrO-SAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQ-QI\">privacy screen<\/a> is in place.  <\/p>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"12\">Style and Budget<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13\">The final look depends on your home&#8217;s style. The honey or brown tones of <b data-path-to-node=\"13\" data-index-in-node=\"73\">wood<\/b> blend well with traditional or heavily vegetated gardens. Composite, with its anthracite grey or quartz variations, integrates better with modern homes and aluminum joinery.  <\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14\">At the time of purchase, <b data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"14\">natural wood<\/b> is less expensive, which is a significant factor if you have large lengths to cover. The <b data-path-to-node=\"14\" data-index-in-node=\"121\">composite privacy screen kit<\/b> requires a higher initial budget. However, since it saves you from regular purchases of maintenance products and often lasts longer, the investment balances out over the years.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dressing up a rigid fence to hide from neighbors is a classic outdoor landscaping technique.
