Composite fencing is made from plastic resin mixed with real wood fibers. When these are mixed together they form a material that is denser, stronger and heavier than wood alone. What sets WPC is its commitment to sustainability, with 90% of its composition originating from recycled products. The Eco-conscious approach not only preserves our forests from deforestation but also finds a way to re-purpose products that would otherwise contribute to pollution.

When working with composite fencing it feels similar as wood but has the benefit of less likely to split and de-laminate. Composite is more stain, scratch and mold resistant and therefore has a longer life than timber. Our Composite Fencing comes as a finished product and is available in 3 colour. Teak, Black & Grey.
