What is composite fencing?
Composite fencing is made from a mix of wood and recycled materials. It’s typically wood fibres combined with recycled material (commonly plastics) that come together to create panels and posts that mimic the look of timber but behave very differently. Unlike traditional timber fencing, composite boards don’t need staining, painting, or sealing. They resist rot, warping, and insect damage, which means they tend to last longer and require less attention over the years.
This style of fencing is perfect if you love the wood look but could do without the regular upkeep that timber demands to stay sturdy. Composite looks fantastic in modern urban spaces, but it also works really well in more classic settings, offering a clean, polished finish that’s tough enough to withstand the ever-changing UK weather year after year.
There are many brands of composite fencing on the market, however at Welch Fencing, we stock DuraPost composite fencing because it’s one of the most trusted names on the UK market. DuraPost products combine beauty, durability and sustainability to create a stylish fencing solution. These boards are manufactured from a robust blend of rice husk and recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE). What’s more, many of our Durapost products are even 100% recyclable after their long life so you can embrace a low maintenance, sustainable option without sacrificing a stylish outdoor space.
