Composite fence run on a garden boundary

A fence that fails nowhere

Timber fences die at the post, not the panel. This system has no timber anywhere in it — WPC boards slotted between bolt-down aluminium posts, so nothing sits in the soil and nothing rots.

Why this system

The posts are the point

Every timber fence in the country fails the same way — at ground level, at the post. Every part of this one is designed around not doing that.

Aluminium uprights

An 80 × 80mm aluminium section will not rot at ground level or bow under a full panel on a hot day. Bolted to a base, not set in concrete — nothing sits in the soil.

Boards that float

The boards slot into channels in the posts rather than being screwed through, so each one can expand and contract along its length without splitting or pulling a fixing.

Nothing to paint

Second-generation capped WPC. No staining, no painting, no annual weekend lost to fence treatment. Wash it down when it needs it.

Finished, not just built

Caps close the post tops, skirts cover the ground-level joint, cover trims hide the fixings. The details that make a fence look bought rather than assembled.

Order builder

Count the whole system, not just panels

Give us the run and the corners and we’ll count the panels, posts, caps, bases and skirts — the full parts list, so nothing arrives a week late.

1 · Colour

2 · The run

metres
where two runs meet

Measure the whole boundary in metres and add it up — an L-shape is one run with one corner. Every corner, end and change of direction gets a post; the count below allows for all of it. If the run doesn’t divide neatly by 1.8m, a panel can be cut down — plan where the short bay goes rather than letting it land mid-elevation.

3 · What are the posts going onto?

Post bases bolt down, and concrete, paving and a new footing take three different fixings. This doesn’t change the count — it travels with your quote so the right expansion screws are specified first time.

Before you order

Three things worth knowing

The ground decides the fixing

Concrete, paving and a new footing are three different expansion screws. Tell us what the bases are bolting into when you order, not after the fence has arrived.

Corners are posts

Every corner, every end and every change of direction, however slight, needs its own post — and a corner brace to hold it rigid when the wind gets behind a panel.

Replacing a timber fence? Replace the posts

The instinct is to reuse the old posts and only swap the panels. The posts are almost certainly why it failed — that puts a twenty-year fence on ten-year-old timber.

Partition clips, cover & base channels and screws are specified with your quote rather than guessed at here — tell us the ground and the layout and we will list exactly what the job takes.

Send us the boundary and we will count it

A sketch with lengths on it is enough. Free, no obligation, and usually back the same day.
