Artificial fencing, or composite fencing<\/a>, is becoming a must-have fencing option over its traditional timber and concrete counterparts.

However, structurally, timber fencing panels can be relatively flimsy, with high winds, heavy rainfall and even a neighbour\u2019s child kicking a ball against it likely to cause damage over a period of time. Though other stronger fencing alternatives<\/a> do exist, such as concrete panels and even brick walls, these can often leave a lot to be desired visually, creating a more industrial, closed off feeling for your garden space. Choosing fencing can feel like an ultimatum.

At NeoTimber\u00ae<\/a>, we have worked hard to develop an artificial wood fencing system that combines both the striking visuals of a traditional timber fence, with the structural security these longer lasting alternatives afford. Although each panel is made up of individual component pieces<\/a>, once it is completed, the bottom and top capping rails<\/a> are designed to keep your fencing securely in position, helping it withstand unpredictable weather and all kinds of external damage.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n![\"artificial](\"https:\/\/neotimber.com\/fencing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/07\/Slatted-Tree-Chocolate.jpg\" "\\"Slatted")
