How it goes in
Posts set in concrete on a string line, gravel board or base rail bedded level, then the composite boards slotted in one at a time. No nails through the face, so nothing to work loose.
Colours and finishes
Grey, charcoal, brown and black are the usual choices, in smooth or woodgrain. We will leave a board with you so you can see it against the house before you commit.
Worth it or not
If you are fencing a short boundary that you will replace when you move, timber is fine. If it is the fence you look at from the kitchen every day for the next fifteen years, composite is the one that still looks right at the end of it.
What is included
- No painting, staining or treating
- Will not rot, warp or splinter
- Concrete or aluminium post systems
- Grey, charcoal, brown and black
- Matching gates available
- Old fence removed and taken away
How composite fencing is installed, step by step
- Survey and set out. The line, height and post positions agreed and marked with a string line.
- Old fence out. The existing fence taken down and removed.
- Posts. Aluminium or concrete posts set in concrete, plumb and at the exact spacing the boards need.
- Base rail or gravel board. Set dead level so the boards sit straight from end to end.
- Boards. Composite boards slotted in between the posts one at a time, with no nails through the face.
- Top rail, caps and gates. Top rail and post caps fitted, and matching gates hung.
When composite fencing is the right choice
- You are tired of painting or treating a fence
- Timber panels keep blowing out or rotting
- The fence is in full view from the house or patio
- You want a modern grey or charcoal finish
- You plan to stay in the house for years
- The garden is used by dogs or children who are hard on fences

Common questions
Is composite fencing worth the money?
Over ten years it usually works out cheaper than replacing and treating timber, and it keeps its colour. Over two years it does not.
Does it fade?
There is slight weathering in the first few months and then it holds. Darker greys hold best in full sun.
Can you mix composite panels with timber posts?
We would not. The posts are the part that fails, so putting timber posts under a composite fence defeats the point.
Can composite fencing go on a slope?
Yes. Each bay is stepped to follow the ground, with the posts set to keep every bay level.
How does composite cope with wind?
Well. The boards slot into the posts rather than being one big panel, so there is nothing to blow out of the frame.
Is composite fencing worth it over timber?
Over the years you live with it, usually yes: no treatment, no rot and no panels to replace. On a short boundary you will replace when you move, timber is the better spend, and we say so.
