How we build composite fencing in St Albans

Wood-polymer composite boards on aluminium or steel posts. Standard build: 6ft × 6ft panels, 2.4m aluminium posts on 700mm concrete bases. On St Albans jobs we adjust for extensive conservation areas mean fence heights and materials need to match the streetscape.

Property mix locally: Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas in Marshalswick, and Tudor / Georgian properties near the cathedral. Typical gardens: mature gardens, often with established hedging that needs lifting before fencing goes in. Postcodes we regularly service: AL1, AL2, AL3, AL4.

Why composite fencing works here

  • no annual staining or oiling
  • colour-through boards don't fade to grey the way pressure-treated timber does
  • aluminium post system won't rot at ground level, which is where 90% of timber fences fail

Common St Albans briefs

  • rental properties where landlords want a 15-year panel life without staining trips
