SERVICE OVERVIEW
Composite fencing is made from a blend of recycled wood fibre and plastic, compressed and formed into fence boards and panels that look like natural wood but behave like plastic. The result is a fence material that has the visual warmth of wood without the vulnerabilities that make wood fencing a maintenance burden in BC's wet climate.
Unlike natural wood, composite fence panels do not absorb moisture, which means they do not rot, warp, crack, or split when exposed to rain. They do not need annual painting or staining to maintain their appearance. They do not attract insects. And they do not fade significantly under UV exposure, particularly the capped composite products we use, where a protective polymer cap covers all four sides of the board.
The posts and structural framing for composite fencing are typically aluminum or galvanized steel, which complements the low-maintenance profile of the composite boards. The full system, boards and structure, is designed to last 25 to 30 years with minimal upkeep in BC's climate.
The most popular style of composite fencing in the Lower Mainland right now. A horizontal composite fence runs the boards horizontally rather than vertically, giving the fence a modern, architectural look that works well with contemporary homes and landscaping.
Horizontal boards also tend to show the wood grain texture more effectively than vertical installations, since the grain runs along the length of the board. For homeowners who want a fence that reads as a design element rather than just a property boundary, a horizontal composite fence is the standard choice.
We install horizontal systems in both privacy (zero gap between boards) and semi-privacy (small gap between boards for airflow and partial sightline) configurations. Post spacing and board width are designed around the specific panel layout for your property.
For homeowners who want a faster installation or a specific panel module size, pre-engineered composite fence panels are available in standard dimensions that install between posts set at fixed spacing. Panel systems are faster to install than board-by-board systems and are a good fit for straight fence runs on level ground.
For properties with slopes, curves, or non-standard lot dimensions, a board-by-board installation gives more flexibility to adjust the layout to the terrain. We advise on the right approach during the consultation.
A full-privacy composite fence uses boards installed with no gap, giving a solid visual barrier from the street or neighboring properties. This is the standard choice for backyard privacy fencing, pool enclosures, and anywhere a complete sightline block is the goal.
Privacy composite fencing is available in standard heights from 1.2m to 1.8m, with taller sections available where permitted by local bylaws. We check the applicable height limits for your municipality before finalizing the design.

PROCESS
We visit your property, measure the fence line, assess the terrain and soil conditions, and walk you through the options for composite fencing systems. Horizontal or vertical, privacy or semi-privacy, panel or board-by-board.
We design the fence layout for your specific property, including post spacing, board profile, and height. You get a clear, itemized quote that covers materials and installation before anything moves forward.
Steel or aluminum posts are set in concrete footings at the engineered spacing. Posts are set plumb and allowed to cure before the boards are installed.
Composite fence panels or boards are installed on the post system. For horizontal systems, level lines are set and boards are installed from bottom to top at the designed spacing.
Post caps are installed. Fasteners are checked and confirmed. The site is cleaned up and the installation is inspected before we leave.
We walk the full fence line with you and confirm everything meets your expectations before we pack up.

FAQs
Composite fencing cost in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland typically ranges between $80 and $200per linear foot installed, depending on the board profile, fence height, and system type. Horizontal composite fence systems cost slightly more than standard vertical installations due to the additional precision required in post spacing and board alignment.

A properly installed composite fence using capped composite boards typically lasts 25 to 30 years with minimal maintenance in BC’s climate. Most composite fencing manufacturers offer warranties of 25 years or more on their products. The post system, when installed in concrete footings, has a similar lifespan.
Very little. Composite fencing does not need painting, staining, or sealing. An occasional rinse with water removes dirt and organic buildup. For mold or mildew that can develop in shaded areas, a mild soap solution and a soft brush is enough. There is no annual maintenance cycle the way there is with wood fencing.
For most residential applications in the Lower Mainland, yes. Composite fencing outperforms wood in moisture resistance, longevity, and maintenance requirements, all of which are significant factors in BC’s climate. The upfront composite fencing cost is higher, but the 20-year total cost of ownership, factoring in maintenance and replacement, is lower for composite than for cedar or pressure-treated wood.
Composite fence panels are available in a range of natural wood grain colors including cedar, teak, grey, and charcoal finishes. Horizontal and vertical board orientations are available. We bring samples to the consultation so you can see the options in person before committing to a product.
In most BC municipalities, a fence up to 1.8m in height on a residential property does not require a permit. Fences taller than 1.8m, fences on corner lots near intersections, and fences in certain zones may require approval. We are familiar with the fence permit requirements across the Lower Mainland and can advise based on your property and location.
Most residential composite fencing projects take two to four days depending on linear footage, terrain, and system complexity. Post setting and curing typically takes one day, with board installation following on the next day or two. We give you a clear timeline before the project starts.
