Composite Trellis / Decorative Screens

Yes, you can still use your concrete posts – and here’s why. Our composite fencing is designed to work with existing concrete posts using a clever solution: the Universal U Channel Adapter. Concrete posts are usually made to fit full timber panels with a 50mm groove, which is wider than our composite boards. But with the U Channel Adapter, you can securely fit our boards without replacing a single post. Just screw the adapter into place using the fixings provided, and slide the boards in. They’ll sit firmly in position, and the adapter even works with our top and base rail kits for a smart, professional finish. It’s a quick, tidy upgrade that saves you time, effort, and the cost of ripping out perfectly good posts!

Looking after composite fence boards is straightforward – it’s one of the reasons they’re so popular. Unlike traditional timber, composite boards don’t require painting, staining, or sealing to maintain their appearance. All you need to do is give them a quick clean now and then using a mild detergent and a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and grime. This simple step is enough to keep your fence looking fresh and new with minimal effort. Composite boards are manufactured from a blend of recycled plastic and wood fibres to resist weather damage, fading, and warping, so with just occasional cleaning, your fence will look just as good as the day you installed it for years!

Our composite fence boards are made mostly from recycled materials, with special additives that help protect them from fading caused by UV rays and other issues like fungus and weathering, etc. It’s because of these protective ingredients that any fading that does happen is very minimal and usually occurs only within the first year after installation.
After that initial period, your fence boards will keep their colour and appearance for many years without noticeable changes. So, while a slight fade is natural and normal, it’s small enough that most people don’t even notice it!

Composite boards are an excellent choice if you want a durable, low-maintenance solution for your outdoor fencing or decking that lasts for years. Made from a mix of recycled wood fibres and plastic, they combine the natural look of timber with the strength and weather resistance of modern materials. Unlike traditional wood, composite boards won’t crack, rot, or splinter — and they don’t need regular painting or staining. Simply install them and enjoy hassle-free use for years to come. Plus, with easy DIY-friendly installation and a 10-year warranty, you won’t need to hire a tradesperson, and once they’re up, they only require the occasional cleaning!

One of the best things about using our composite fencing system is the flexibility it gives you. You’re not limited to the old-fashioned 6ft by 6ft fence panels anymore. Instead, you can divide your outdoor space into equal-sized sections that suit your needs and then cut the composite boards to fit perfectly. This means no more awkward half-panels or wasted material.

Cutting composite boards is easy and doesn’t require special tools. You can use a regular chop saw, circular saw, or even a handsaw if you only have a few pieces to cut. The important thing is to use a blade designed for cutting composite material. Since composite fencing has become so popular, many saw blades now clearly say ‘composite’ on the packaging, making it simple to pick the right one.

If you’re not sure how many boards or panels you need for your fencing project, we’re here to help. Just give us a call on 01282 677300, and our friendly team will work with you to figure out the right quantities and offer any advice you need.

When you’re planning your new composite fence, one of the most important things to get right is knowing how many boards you’ll need per panel. This helps you order the right amount of material without overspending or making extra trips halfway through the job.

The easiest way to work this out is by using a simple rule: you’ll need around two composite boards for every foot of fence height. So, for a standard-sized panel, here’s a quick guide:

• For a 6ft high fence panel, you’ll need 12 boards
• For a 5ft high fence panel, you’ll need 10 boards
• For a 4ft high fence panel, you’ll need 8 boards
• For a 3ft high fence panel, you’ll need 6 boards

This estimate works well for most projects and gives you a reliable idea of how much to order. But of course, every space is a little different – especially if you’re working around sloped ground or awkward corners, so if you’re unsure at all, we’re here to help.

Just give our friendly team a call on 01282 677300, and we’ll talk you through it. Whether you’re building one panel or planning a full garden transformation, we can help you work out exactly what you need and make the whole process simple and stress-free.
