Measuring guide

Composite fencing is a modern, stylish, and long-lasting solution for marking out your yard. It offers the look of natural wood without the upkeep. Thanks to its innovative material, composite fencing stands up to weather, UV rays, and moisture, and won’t crack or warp 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 property has multiple sides or corners, measure each section separately for accuracy.

Example perimeter measurement: 20+10+20+10 = 60 m

Example of measuring an L-shaped yard: add up each side

Once you have your measurements, you can figure out how many fence sections you’ll need. Each section is the space between two posts and makes up one fence panel. 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 just want to mark your property line, a height between 4 and 5 feet is usually enough. This gives structure to your yard while keeping visibility.

2

If your goal is privacy and screening, choose a height between 5.5 and 6 feet. This offers good privacy while still looking balanced in your garden.

3

For maximum protection—for example, if your yard faces the street or is close to neighbors—you can go with a fence 6.5 feet or taller. Always check your local zoning rules before installation to confirm allowed fence heights.

Adjusting Your Project for Your Yard

If your fence will be installed on a concrete slab, wall, or deck, posts can be mounted using base plates. This lets you securely anchor the posts to an existing surface without digging.

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

Choosing Your Composite Fence Style

Composite fencing makes it easy to customize the look of your yard. You can pick from several styles to match the atmosphere you want to create.

Solid boards are ideal if you want full privacy. They block outside views and create a private space in your yard. This is the most popular choice for privacy fencing.

Semi-open boards give a lighter, more modern look. They let air and light through while still marking property lines. This style is often chosen for windy areas.

Proper Post Placement

Placing your posts correctly is key to a sturdy and attractive fence. Posts should be lined up and spaced evenly to support the boards properly.

Each post has one solid side, which 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 profile should match the height of your chosen post.

In Summary:

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