Frequently Asked Questions
Eco fencing is a sustainable fencing solution designed to reduce environmental impact. Most eco fencing systems are made from recycled materials, such as recycled wood fibres and plastics, offering a durable and environmentally responsible alternative to traditional timber fencing.
Eco composite fencing is typically manufactured using a blend of recycled wood fibres and recycled plastic. This combination creates a strong, long-lasting material that looks like wood but performs far better in outdoor conditions.
Yes. Eco fencing helps reduce waste by using recycled materials and lowers the demand for newly harvested timber. Its long lifespan also means fewer replacements over time, further reducing its environmental footprint.
Eco composite fencing is designed to last significantly longer than traditional timber fencing. It is resistant to rot, decay, insect damage, and weathering, making it a long-term, low-maintenance solution.
Very little. Unlike timber fencing, eco fencing does not need painting, staining, or treating. Occasional cleaning with water and mild detergent is usually all that’s required to keep it looking its best.
No. Eco composite fencing will not rot or split like timber. It is designed to remain stable and strong even in damp or exposed conditions.
Yes. Eco fencing performs exceptionally well in the UK climate and is resistant to rain, frost and wind. It maintains its structural integrity throughout the seasons.
Eco fencing is designed with colour integrated throughout the material, meaning it will not peel or flake. Some minimal, natural weathering may occur over time, but this is far more consistent than with painted timber fencing.
Eco fencing can have a higher initial cost than traditional timber fencing. However, its long lifespan and minimal maintenance requirements often make it more cost-effective over time.
Eco fencing is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Residential gardens
- Boundary fencing
- Privacy and screening panels
- Commercial and public spaces
Eco fencing offers a combination of sustainability, durability, low maintenance, and modern design. It’s an ideal choice for anyone looking to invest in a long-lasting fencing solution that’s better for the environment.
