What type of fencing is right for me? Composite, wooden, or PVC?

Choosing the right fencing for your home can be a daunting task with so many options available. At Select Living Group, we understand that your fence isn't just about marking boundaries; it's an integral part of your home’s aesthetic, security, and functionality. Whether you're looking for something durable, low-maintenance, or environmentally friendly, we've got you covered. Let's explore the benefits of Composite, Wooden, and PVC fencing to help you make an informed decision.

Composite fencing: The modern solution

Composite fencing is a blend of wood fibres and recycled plastic, offering the best of both worlds. It’s designed to withstand the test of time, resisting warping, rotting, and insect damage. This makes it an excellent choice for those who want a beautiful, long-lasting fence without the hassle of constant upkeep.

Cost-effective

Due to their composition, composite fences have a naturally long life, meaning you will save money in the long term, and they require very little maintenance to keep them looking fabulous.

Eco-friendly choice

For the environmentally conscious homeowner, composite fencing is a top contender. WPC (wood plastic composite) is a hybrid product made of wood and plastic to produce a durable composite material. 90% of the materials used to make WPC are recycled. No new trees are cut down, and waste plastic is removed from our environment. Made from recycled materials, it helps reduce waste and promotes sustainability. Plus, it requires no chemical treatments, making it a safe and green option for your garden.

Versatility in design

With a wide range of colours and textures available, composite fencing can mimic the natural look of wood or provide a sleek, modern appearance. It’s perfect for any style, from traditional to contemporary homes. The advanced design allows fence panels to firmly slot together and ensures a consistent space between panels every time.

Easy to install

Our composite fence posts are scored with grooves that allow fence panels to be slotted into them. The panels then lock together to produce a perfect finish with no nails or screws required. Check out our easy-to-follow installation guide or find a recommended installer.

Wooden fencing: Timeless and natural

Classic appeal

Wooden fencing is a timeless choice that brings a natural, warm feel to any property. Its classic appeal can enhance the beauty of both traditional and modern homes, making it a versatile option.

Customisable

One of the main advantages of wooden fencing is its versatility. You can paint or stain it in any colour to match your home’s exterior, and it can be cut into various styles, from picket to panel designs. This customisation allows you to create a unique look that perfectly complements your property.

Cost-effective

While it may require more maintenance than composite or PVC, wooden fencing is often more affordable upfront. With proper care, such as regular staining and sealing, a wooden fence can last for many years, making it a cost-effective option for many homeowners.

PVC fencing: Practical and stylish

Low maintenance

PVC fencing is renowned for its low maintenance requirements. It doesn’t need painting, staining, or sealing, and it’s resistant to rot, mould, and insect damage. Simply wash it with soap and water to keep it looking pristine.

Long-lasting and durable

PVC is a highly durable material that can withstand harsh weather conditions, from heavy rain to strong winds. This makes it an ideal choice for those living in areas with extreme weather patterns.

Aesthetic variety

Available in various styles, colours, and heights, PVC fencing can complement any home’s exterior. Whether you prefer a privacy fence, a picket fence, or a decorative border, PVC offers a range of options to suit your needs.

Making the right choice

When deciding between composite, wooden, or PVC fencing, consider your priorities: durability, maintenance, cost, and aesthetic preference. Composite fencing offers a blend of durability and low maintenance, perfect for the eco-conscious homeowner. Wooden fencing provides a classic, customisable look at an affordable price. PVC fencing delivers long-lasting durability with minimal upkeep, ideal for those seeking a practical yet stylish solution.
