Can composite fencing be installed in coastal areas?
Living by the coast is a dream for a lot of people, and it’s easy to see why. Enjoying sea views and having the beach right on your doorstep is an idyllic lifestyle – who could blame you? But while the salty sea breeze might be great for the soul, it’s not so kind to your outdoor spaces. That coastal air can speed up wear and tear, causing traditional timber fencing and decking to rot, warp, and decay much faster than you’d expect. Before you know it, you’re shelling out for constant repairs, replacing panels, and eventually having to redo the whole fence or deck way sooner than you’d like.
So, what’s the best solution for keeping your outdoor space looking great without the endless upkeep? The answer is composite! At North Valley Composites, we offer a stunning range of composite fencing and decking shades that are perfect for enhancing your coastal garden!
Composite easily withstands coastal weather
Coastal weather can be harsh, with saltwater, strong winds, and intense sun all taking a toll on your outdoor structures. Traditional timber often struggles to cope with these conditions, leading to rotting, warping, and splintering. Composite, however, is specifically designed to withstand the elements.
Manufactured from a unique blend of recycled plastic fibres and sustainably sourced wood waste, composite fencing and decking are built to resist rot, moisture, and the damaging effects of the coastal environment. Unlike timber, composite won’t crack, split, or splinter over time, ensuring that your outdoor space remains intact and beautiful!
Composite is incredibly low maintenance
One of the biggest advantages of composite is that it’s incredibly low-maintenance, especially in coastal areas where the weather can be unforgiving. Unlike timber, which requires routine staining, sealing, and painting to protect it from the weather, composite only needs an occasional hose down to keep it looking fresh.
The beauty of composite is that it doesn’t absorb moisture like wood, which means it won’t expand or contract with changing seasons. This eliminates the risk of warping, cracking, or splitting that often comes with the natural shifting of timber. With composite, you spend less time on upkeep and more time enjoying your outdoor space, making it the perfect solution if you’re looking for convenience and durability.
Available in a stunning range of shades
Composite offers the natural beauty of wood without the challenges that come with using timber in coastal environments. It mimics the warmth and charm of traditional wood but with enhanced durability and resilience to coastal weather. At North Valley Composites, we have a variety of beautiful shades to choose from – from the classic tones of Light Oak and Golden Oak to the bold elegance of Black Ash and the contemporary look of Driftwood. This way, you can enjoy all the benefits of the authentic wood look, minus the risk of rotting, warping, or splintering.
When it comes to coastal areas, composite fencing and decking are hard to beat! Their ability to resist harsh weather, combined with their low-maintenance nature and stylish appeal, makes them the perfect choice. What’s more, many composite fences last around 20 years (if not longer), so you can rest assured that you’ll be getting your money’s worth!
At North Valley Composites, we offer a stunning selection of both composite fencing and composite decking options in various shades and styles, so you’ll find the perfect fit for your coastal home.
