Measuring guide

Composite fencing offers a modern, stylish, and long-lasting way to define your yard. It combines the look of natural wood with minimal maintenance. Thanks to its advanced material, composite fencing stands up to weather, UV rays, and moisture without cracking or warping over time. Unlike traditional wood, it doesn’t need painting, staining, or special treatments—just rinse with water to keep it looking new.

Choosing composite fencing means peace of mind, durability, and a premium finish for your outdoor space.

How to Measure for Your Composite Fence

Start by measuring the total length of the area you want to fence. Use a tape measure or a laser distance measurer to get the exact distance from your starting point to the end point. If your yard has several sides or corners, measure each section separately for accuracy.

Example of measuring the perimeter: 20+10+20+10 = 60 m

Once you have your measurements, you can determine how many fence sections you’ll need. A section is the space between two posts and makes up one fence panel. Be sure to plan for a post at each end of the fence and between every section.

How to Choose the Height of Your Composite Fence

1

The right fence height depends on your needs. If you simply want to mark your property line, a height between 4 and 5 feet is usually enough. This gives structure to your yard while keeping good visibility.

2

If your goal is privacy and screening, consider a height between 5.5 and 6 feet. This provides effective privacy while still looking balanced in a garden setting.

3

For maximum protection, especially if your property borders a street or close neighbors, you may want a fence 6.5 feet or higher. Always check your local zoning regulations before installation to confirm allowed fence heights.

Adapting Your Project to the Terrain

If your fence will be installed on a concrete slab, wall, or patio, posts can be mounted with base plates. This method allows you to secure posts to an existing surface without digging.

For soil or a typical garden, the most secure option is to set posts directly in the ground with concrete. This ensures excellent stability and long-term durability.

Choosing Your Composite Fence Design

Composite fencing lets you easily customize the look of your yard. You can select from different styles to match the atmosphere you want to create.

Solid boards are ideal for complete privacy. They block outside views and create a secluded space in your yard. This is the most popular choice for privacy fencing.

Semi-open boards offer a lighter, more modern look. They let air and light pass through while still providing a clear boundary. This style is often chosen for windy areas.

Proper Post Placement

Placing your posts correctly is key for a strong and attractive fence. Posts should be perfectly aligned and evenly spaced to support the boards securely.

Each post has a solid side that should face outward from your property. The other sides are designed to hold the fence boards.

When planning your project, include a finishing profile for each post to close off the inside and give a clean look. The finishing profile should match the height of your chosen post.

Summary:

Measure the total length of your property and each side if your fence has corners.
Plan for a post at each end, between every section, and at each corner.
Choose the right height for your needs.
Install posts in the ground with concrete, on base plates for slabs, or with sleeves depending on your layout.
Pick your style: solid boards for privacy, or decorative boards for a modern look.
Don’t forget the finishing touches: add a finishing profile to each post (same height) and two profiles for the start and end of the fence.

What is the maximum height for a composite fence? +

A composite wood fence can be installed up to 2.30 meters (about 7.5 feet) high, using aluminum posts available in various sizes (1.05m, 1.40m, 1.85m, 2.30m). The maximum height depends on the post selected and applies when the posts are set in concrete, which provides optimal stability for taller fences.

What’s the difference between a wood fence and a composite fence? +

A composite fence combines wood fibers with plastic resins, giving you the look of natural wood but with less maintenance. Unlike solid wood, which needs regular staining and treatment, composite fencing just requires occasional cleaning with water. Natural wood can split, rot, or attract insects, while composite material is rot-resistant and stays stable over time.

Can I install a composite fence kit myself? +

Installing a composite fence kit is manageable for most DIY enthusiasts with basic skills. The stackable board system makes assembly straightforward—posts are set directly in concrete, and boards slide into the designated grooves. As a guideline, you can expect to install about 60 feet of anthracite gray fencing with included steel reinforcements in a day.

How do I maintain a composite fence over the years? +

To keep your composite fence in good condition, simply wash it once a year with soapy water to remove dust and dirt. Use a garden hose or a soft sponge, and avoid scrubbing the boards too hard. Periodically check the fasteners and posts to ensure everything remains secure, especially after severe weather.
