1 – What is Composite Fencing?

Composite fencing is a modern fencing solution made from a blend of recycled wood fibres and plastic. The combination of these materials creates a strong, durable build that mimics the natural look of wood but offers enhanced resistance to weather and wear.

Unlike traditional wooden fencing, composite fencing resists rot, insect damage, and fading, making it a long-lasting choice for garden fencing. It’s also an eco-friendly option, as many composite fencing panels are crafted from recycled materials, reducing environmental impact while delivering a premium finish.

2 – Key Features of Composite Fencing Panels

Composite fencing is packed with features that make it stand out:

Durability: Composite panels resist warping, cracking, and rot, making them ideal for all weather conditions.
Low maintenance: Say goodbye to painting, staining, or sealing – composite fences require minimal upkeep.
