Composite fencing uses wood-plastic panels with aluminium or composite posts. It suits homeowners who prefer not to stain timber annually. Upfront cost is higher than pressure-treated closeboard; ongoing maintenance is lower.
Composite compared with timber
Timber closeboard and feather edge remain common in Leicester gardens for initial cost and traditional appearance. Composite panels do not require staining; colour may lighten gradually in UV exposure.
We specify post and panel system as a matched set rather than mixing incompatible components.
