Building a Durable Fence: A Guide to Composite Wood Fence Panels

Building a fence is a significant home improvement project that can enhance privacy and aesthetics. While traditional wood fences are popular, composite wood fence panels are increasingly favored for their durability and low maintenance.
This comprehensive guide will lead you through building a fence in modern design with composite wood panels, highlighting the benefits and step-by-step instructions.

1. Removing the Old Fence

Begin by dismantling the existing fence. Use a reciprocating saw to cut through the panels and remove them. To make the process easier, use a truck and chain to pull out the old concrete posts. This method is efficient and simplifies disposal.

2. Preparing and Installing New Posts

Digging Holes: For new posts, use a hydraulic auger, such as an earth drill. This tool speeds up the process and reduces manual labor. Be sure to call utility services to mark any underground lines before digging. （If the floor is concrete, you can move on to the next step.)

Setting Posts: Place a few inches of gravel at the bottom of each hole for drainage. Insert new posts and secure them with fast-setting concrete. Ensure posts are aligned using a string line to keep the fence straight.

 

3. Attaching Composite Wood Panels

Set the rail: Use the screws to settle the bottom rail so can hold the WPC board. 

Panel Installation: Composite wood fence panels come in pre-made sections that are easy to install. Secure each panel to the horizontal rails using screws or brackets. Composite panels are designed to fit seamlessly, providing a clean and modern look.

Corners: The majority of aluminum posts provide two angle options (90 and 180 degrees) for corners. Nonetheless, MecoFenc's post features a unique "Y shape" design enabling adjustment to smaller angles.

 Gates: Install gates with sturdy hardware to prevent sagging and ensure smooth operation. ( Or check out some designs here)

Staining and Sealing: One of the advantages of composite wood panels is that they do not require staining or sealing. They are designed to retain their color and appearance with minimal upkeep.

Composite wood fence panels offer several advantages over traditional wood:

• Low Maintenance: Composite panels do not need staining, sealing, or regular maintenance, making them a convenient choice.
• Durability: They are resistant to rotting, splintering, and insect damage, and can withstand harsh weather conditions.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Composite panels mimic the look of natural wood, offering a high-quality appearance without the upkeep.
• Eco-Friendly: Made from recycled wood fibers and plastic, composite panels are a more sustainable option.
