How we build composite fencing in Watford
Wood-polymer composite boards on aluminium or steel posts. Standard build: 6ft × 6ft panels, 2.4m aluminium posts on 700mm concrete bases. On Watford jobs we adjust for tree-root heave is common near cassiobury and whippendell wood, so concrete-set posts are non-negotiable.
Property mix locally: Victorian terraces around the centre, 1930s semis in Oxhey, and large detached homes in Cassiobury. Typical gardens: mixed — tight back-to-backs near the town centre, generous plots toward Cassiobury Park. Postcodes we regularly service: WD17, WD18, WD19.
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 Watford briefs
- → commercial forecourts where painted timber looks tired within a season
- → rental properties where landlords want a 15-year panel life without staining trips
