Composite fencing is a smart investment for a number of reasons. One of the reasons more and more residential, commercial, and multi-family homes are installing composite fencing is the durability. Composite fencing fuses together a combination of materials to create an ultra-durable fencing solution, which can stand up to even the most rigorous conditions and knocks. This equates to superior longevity for a worthwhile investment.
Wood fencing is typically cheaper than composite or vinyl fencing. However, by the time you account for the new paint and section replacements over time—not counting the painstaking labour—you will likely spend more on wood fencing long term. Plus, if you are looking for fencing in a high visibility area, where you’d like to make significant upgrades to your property’s aesthetics, you would likely need to get a more exotic type of wood fence, which can get very expensive. Why go with wood fencing when you can find composite fencing that perfectly mimics the beauty of real wood?
You might also be considering vinyl fencing for your property. But even with vinyl fencing being easier to clean than wood fencing, vinyl surfaces are prone to mold and mildew. Not only does composite fencing do a great job of preventing mold and mildew thanks to the special blend of materials fused together, it is incredibly easy to clean—no painstaking cleaning necessary to achieve that original, factory fresh look. Another big advantage for composite fencing over vinyl is it’s typically made from a blend of recycled and recyclable materials, which can make them far more environmentally friendly than vinyl and even wood fences.
