What is it?

Why people choose it
- No staining or treatment needed
- Will not rot, split or warp like timber
- Consistent modern colours such as grey and charcoal
- Strong systems with aluminium posts
Things to watch
- Highest upfront cost
- Systems are brand specific, so repairs need matching parts
- Darker colours can fade a little in strong sun
- Needs solid post foundations, like any fence

Questions
Is composite fencing worth it?
If you want a fence you never need to paint and plan to stay put, it can work out well over 15 to 25 years. For a quick, low cost replacement, timber is cheaper.
Does composite fencing blow over?
Good systems use aluminium posts set in concrete and are rated for high winds, but the foundations still matter as much as with timber.
Can I mix composite and timber?
Yes. Many people use composite for the most visible run and timber elsewhere.
