Composite fencing Markham, ON
If you’re considering composite fencing for your yard, you’re likely in it for the long haul in terms of the fence’s lifespan. Fortunately, in this case, the maintenance requirements are inversely proportional to its lifespan when compared to other fencing materials that don’t last as long, but you must maintain it more frequently. Popular brands include Trex fencing, TimberTech, Fiberon and SimTek. Trex also claims that its fence boards can be installed on an angled ground.
If you’ve narrowed down your fencing material choice to composite and a couple others, but are still unsure of what to expect or would like more information about its features, pros and cons, you’ve come to the right place. Here are some common FAQs: Q: Is composite fencing any good? A: In our humble opinion, the answer is absolutely YES. The recycled boards offer features equivalent or superior to other fencing materials in many categories, some of which will dive into in the next few answers. Q: What are the pros and cons of composite fencing? A: The pros list far outweighs the cons in terms of quality and offerings of the material. Composite fencing, when properly taken care of, can outlive many owners, lasting several decades - we’re talking 30-40 years. It is made of recycled materials (usually more than 90% recycled wood and plastic), and so is a great choice for sustainability and environmental consciousness. |

Due to the nature of the boards, there is virtually little to no opportunity for insect infestation, so you won’t have to deal with cracked or split boards due to rot. It is also very low maintenance, requiring little more than a not so frequent inspection along with a quick wash. And finally, it looks gorgeous. To the discerning eye, you might be able to tell up front that it’s not wood, but it doesn’t have the “plasticky” look that is claimed to be observed in vinyl by some.
As for the cons list, the major one is price. It is significantly more expensive than the traditional wood fencing, vinyl, metal (excluding wrought iron) and chain link fencing. The upfront cost is the biggest barrier for many consumers. Another disadvantage to composite fencing, which may seem minor to some, is its propensity to fade in colour over time.
Q: How do you care for a composite fence?
A: All you need to do to maintain your composite fence boards is to occasionally inspect them for obvious damage, and wash them. Methods of washing vary depending on preference, convenience and effectiveness. Spraying with a soapy water solution and wiping it down with a rag while using a soft handled brush for spot cleaning can do the trick. Others opt for a deep clean with pressure washing. There’s no right or wrong way to clean composite fencing.
