Let’s be honest – whenever you’re planning any kind of home modification, one of your first priorities is going to be the cost. That’s just as true for composite fencing as it is for anything else!
Now, if you’re already weighing up the difference between composite fencing and timber fencing, one of the first things you’ll have probably noticed is that composite fencing requires a bit more investment than traditional timber fencing, However, there are more than a few good reasons for that. So, here’s our quick list of the reasons why composite fencing is worth paying that little bit more for!
Save money on maintenance bills
When compared to classic timber fencing, composite is an absolute breeze to maintain. There’s no need for finishes, glazes, paints and so on – all it needs is the occasional wash and you’re done. Essentially, you can easily ‘fit it and forget it’.
Timber fencing panels, on the other hand, can often be a little more labour intensive. The combined costs of maintenance like staining, painting and repairs, you’ll probably find that it all adds up to require a lot more of your time, money and effort to keep them looking at their best. On top of all this maintenance, you’ll have to replace timber fence panels 2 to 3 times more often than composite fencing, which further increases the overall cost of maintaining your fence!
Stretch your wallet further with longer durability
Composite is by far the most durable material on the market for fencing. With durability comes longevity, and with longevity comes a significant reduction in long term costs. Thanks to its combination of recycled plastic and wood, the rigid material makes it more than a match for the infamously unpredictable British weather.
And of course, because the blended materials only contain trace amounts of wood, that means the panels are not as prone to rotting and deterioration caused by extreme weather in the same way that wooden panels often are. It’s also fully insect-proof, so you won’t need to worry about termites eating it. The durability that composite offers in compared to timber fencing is one of the key reasons that it costs you far less to own it in the long run. It really is an investment in your fence’s future.
