Discount Composite Fencing: How Long Does It Last?

When creating discount composite fencing, we understood the needs of the customer – great-looking, long-lasting fencing with a price that stacks up. In this article, we will highlight these long-life qualities of our discount composite fencing, and how it compares to other, weaker fencing alternatives, so you can be confident in your decision prior to purchasing composite. Let’s take a look…

When compared to other fencing products, such as natural timber, composite fencing comes out on top for sheer longevity. It can be tempting to initially pay for fencing that is cheaper in the short term, but this approach will have problems for you in the long term. Though initially less expensive, timber fencing is more likely to need replacing completely further down the line, as it will be prone to rot and splintering if not effectively treated. This is why we consider our proprietary composite fencing system to be discount composite fencing; it may be more expensive at the start, but you will get more for your money’s worth due to the composite material’s high-strength nature.

Our discount composite fencing system is also designed to be customisable, so there are ways to save money prior to installation with careful research. With our specially designed inserts, you can fit our composite fence panels between existing timber or concrete fixtures, meaning you do not have to buy post supports, composite posts, or post caps. To accurately work out what you can get with your budget, use our composite fencing calculator, or contact one of our dedicated sales team.

All of our fencing boards and fence posts are capped with an additional polymer layer, providing extra protection to the material. There are lots of composite products that are not capped in this way, but this can cause it to fade and discolour quicker, and may even make it more susceptible to mould and mildew. In contrast, every aspect of our composite fencing system is designed to ensure its long life. The capped surface of the composite fence slats make it easier to clean and locks out moisture, which prevents the kind of damage that can lay waste to other kinds of fencing.

The metal skeleton of our discount composite fencing also keeps it firmly rooted in position, unlike timber alternatives, which can be damaged in high winds. Our post supports for both hard and soft ground applications bolt the fencing posts in place, whilst the railings keep the individual boards safely housed in the groove of the composite post channel. From the metal framework and post supports, the powder-coated metal caps, railing, and inserts, to the capped composite sleeve that surrounds it, we have crafted each fencing component to be able to withstand the challenges that a composite fence panel will experience in its lifespan.

At NeoTimber®, we are confident in the longevity of our composite products. Because of this, like our decking, cladding, and balustrade ranges, all of our discount composite fencing is supported by our unbeatable warranty, the details of which can be found here. We offer a 25-year warranty for residential projects and a 10-year warranty for commercial builds.

When budgeting your discount composite fencing build, it is important to factor in any additional delivery costs. All NeoTimber® deliveries over £1,000 inc. VAT are free of charge to most UK mainland locations. We use our own couriers to minimise damage to the fencing boards.

By specifying NeoTimber’s discount composite fencing, you can be sure that your fencing will last. The capped surface of the composite boards protects it from UV and moisture damage, whilst the metal post supports give your fence panels a stronger foundation than other initially cheaper fencing alternatives. Finally, both our Slatted and Deluxe fencing options are supported by our warranty, so you know that we’re not all talk. For fencing that’s built to last, it’s clear that the best choice is NeoTimber®.
