Is composite fencing eco-friendly?

Yes, Composite fencing uses a mix of recycled timber and plastic, we use the equivalent weight of 80 large plastic bottles in each slat. This is plastic that could have ended up in the oceans or in landfill. Composite is also a great alternative to using wooden panels, not only does wooden fencing require harvesting and replacing frequently, but wooden fencing also requires chemical and paint treatments to extend its life and durability, these chemicals will eventually work their way into the soil.

What are the posts made from?

Our Aluminium posts are manufactured using a high-grade aluminium, with an industry leading wall thickness of 1.8mm. All our metalwork is then powder coated to marine-grade standard, resulting in a robust and superior aesthetic finish.
Our composite posts are made from a premium composite using recycled wood powder and plastics. Our highly durable posts are all fully weatherproof, UV protected and require no maintenance, painting, or staining.
