Can I use existing concrete posts with composite fence boards?
Yes — if your concrete posts are sound and aligned, inserts/adaptors let composite boards sit neatly in the post channels. It’s a popular option for replacements because you can upgrade the panels without changing the posts.
How are composite fence panels built?
Composite “panels” are usually made by stacking individual boards to your required height inside posts or inserts. You then finish the top with a rail/trim and caps for a clean, consistent line.
What do I need for a composite fencing bay?
Most bays use: boards, posts or concrete post inserts, rails/trims, post caps, and fixings. Optional extras like decorative top panels can be added for a more premium finish.
How wide is a fence panel / what post spacing do I need?
It depends on the system and board length you’re using. Many fencing runs are planned around standard bays (often around 1.8m), but the best method is to measure your distance between posts and build each bay to suit.
Does composite fencing fade?
Some slight weathering will happen outdoors, especially early on, but quality composite fencing is designed to hold its colour well over time. Keeping it clean helps maintain the finish.
Does composite fencing warp?
Composite boards are designed to stay straight when installed correctly. Keeping posts plumb, using the right rails/trims/inserts, and allowing normal movement helps prevent issues.
How do I clean and maintain composite fencing?
Maintenance is minimal. A rinse with water and a mild detergent is usually enough. There’s no painting or staining required.
