If you’re weighing up options for a smarter, long-lasting boundary, composite fencing Sheffield is a bit of a no-brainer. It keeps its shape in our wind and rain, it doesn’t need yearly painting, and it looks the part next to modern paving and older stone walls alike.

We design, supply and install composite panels for Sheffield homes and small commercial sites—think cafés with courtyards in Kelham Island or family gardens in Ecclesall and Fulwood.

Upfront, composite costs more than standard softwood. Over 10–15 years, it often works out cheaper because you skip annual treatments and early replacements when timber warps or rots. If you compare against quality pressure-treated or hardwood timber with proper maintenance, the long-term costs can be closer but composite still wins on time saved.

Composite fencing is made from a blend of recycled wood fibres and plastics formed into boards that slot between posts. The result is a fence that looks tidy like timber but shrugs off rot, warping, and colour fade (once initial colour stabilising has finished). In a city as hilly and breezy as Sheffield—hello Lodge Moor gusts—that extra stability matters. You get:

• Low maintenance: no annual staining or preservers
• Consistent look: boards don’t twist like softwood can
• Longevity: quality systems are designed to last 20+ years
• Choice of styles: contemporary slatted, solid privacy, or decorative tops

A customer in Crookes had replaced the same timber fence twice in a decade because the posts kept soaking and shifting on the slope. We swapped to composite boards with aluminium posts set in proper concrete footings and even used the composite panels instead of concrete grave boards to ensure a uniform look. Three winters on, it’s still arrow-straight—and the only “maintenance” is a hose down before BBQ season.

Care and maintenance really only need a hose down or soft wash once or twice a year. Don’t pressure-wash too close; keep a sensible distance if you choose to do it this way.

The initial cost of composite Fencing is a big difference compared to most wooden fence panels. Once it’s been installed, composite decking requires minimal care and has a low maintenance cost. By comparing the long-term cost of both composite fencing and wooden fencing, you would most likely settle for composite fencing. However, in the short term, composite decking comes at cost, however, this can be substantially reduced if you are able to use your existing concrete posts. Composite fencing for concrete posts can be achieved in a couple of ways: 

1. Select a composite board that have a wdith of around 52mm. These should be able to slide straight into the groove of a concrete post.
2. Use a U channel. Most thinner board manufacturers also provide a channel system to allow their thinner boards to be used with concrete posts. These channels slide into the groove of the concrete posts held in place with sealant, and then the composite boards slide into the smaller U channel. Most manufacturers also provide channels for the bottom and top of the board. These are more for aesthetic purposes, creating a visual frame around all four sides of the composite boards to make it look like a singular panel.

Our process is simple, straightforward, and effective.

1. Free on-site survey: we check levels (Sheffield gardens love a gradient), services, access and any walls or suitability of existing concrete posts you want to use.
2. Design & options: colours (charcoal, cedar, graphite), heights, privacy vs airflow, and how it ties into gates or decking.
3. Transparent quote: fixed price with line items—posts, boards, disposal.
4. Installation: tidy groundworks, post depth to suit your exposure, panels assembled with expansion gaps as the system specifies.
5. Aftercare: quick wash guidance and a check-in once it’s settled.
