What Is Composite?

Composite fences are made from a blend of recycled wood fibers and plastic polymers, creating a material that looks like wood but resists rot, insects, and weather. They come in realistic wood grain textures and earth-tone colors that won't fade, peel, or require painting.

Popular Composite Fence Colors

Gray Composite Privacy Fence

The most popular composite fence color, offering a clean, modern look. Gray composite privacy fences complement contemporary home designs and pair well with stone and concrete hardscaping.

Brown/Walnut Composite Privacy Fence

A warm, natural wood-tone that mimics the look of stained hardwood. Brown composite fences bring warmth to outdoor spaces without the maintenance of real wood.

Charcoal/Black Composite Privacy Fence

A deep, dramatic color that makes a bold statement. Charcoal composite privacy fences create striking contrast with green landscaping and lighter-colored homes.

Tan/Sand Composite Privacy Fence

A light, neutral earth tone that works with virtually any home exterior. Tan composite fences keep outdoor spaces feeling open and bright while providing full privacy.
