Composite Fencing in Raleigh
Composite fencing occupies its own lane. It’s not competing with chain link on price or with aluminum on elegance — it’s for the homeowner who has looked at wood fences their whole life, likes the way they look, and has decided they’d rather not deal with what comes next: the staining, the resealing, the rot in a wet corner, the soft board that turns out to be a termite problem. Composite gives you the wood aesthetic and eliminates the maintenance entirely.
The material is Trex — the same brand that changed the residential deck market and is now doing the same for fencing. Trex composite is made from 95% reclaimed wood fiber and recycled plastic, heat-compressed into boards that look and grain like natural wood but behave like engineered polymer. They don’t absorb moisture, they don’t split along the grain, and they don’t need paint, stain, or sealant to hold their appearance.
In a North Carolina climate, that material profile earns its price. Most of what shortens the life of a wood fence here is water and the things that follow it — a shaded stretch of fence line that stays damp for weeks after a run of summer storms, boards that swell and cup through a humid August, termites working a post that never fully dries. Composite gives all of that nothing to work with. The color runs through the board rather than sitting on the surface, so the same sun that grays untreated pine doesn’t bleach it, and there’s no annual inspection for warping or checking.
The standard installation style is board-on-board, which overlaps boards in an alternating pattern to create a fully private fence line with no visible gaps — and the same finished appearance on both sides, which matters when neighbors share a property line and when an architectural review committee is reading your submittal. The construction also adds rigidity to the fence line, which helps on longer runs.
Posts go in concrete on every installation. Composite boards are noticeably heavier than vinyl, and that weight has to be carried by the post base. Piedmont red clay softens considerably once it takes on water, and a heavy fence on a tamped post in saturated clay will start to lean. Concrete is what holds the line.
Every composite installation comes with a lifetime transferable warranty backed by Trex — the coverage stays with the home if you sell, which makes it a genuine asset on the property side of the ledger.

Composite Fencing Questions
What is composite fencing made of?
Our composite fencing uses Trex material — 95% reclaimed wood fiber and recycled plastic, compressed and heat-formed into boards that look and feel like wood. Trex pioneered composite decking and brings the same process to fencing. The result is a board that holds its color and shape without the maintenance wood requires.
Does composite fence hold up in North Carolina's humidity?
That's where it separates itself. Composite doesn't absorb water, so the wet-corner problems that shorten the life of a wood fence here — swelling, cupping, soft boards, rot along a shaded fence line that never fully dries out after a week of storms — simply don't apply. There's no wood grain surface for moisture to wick into, and nothing in the board for termites to eat.
Is composite worth the higher price compared to vinyl or wood?
It depends on what you're optimizing for. If you want the natural warmth of a wood-look fence with genuinely zero maintenance — no staining, no painting, no rot risk — composite is the right call. It costs more upfront than vinyl or wood, but there are no maintenance costs over its lifetime and the warranty transfers with the home.
What does board-on-board mean for composite?
Board-on-board means the boards are overlapped in an alternating pattern that creates total privacy with no gaps — and because both faces look identical, the fence looks finished from both sides. That satisfies the "good side out" requirement written into a lot of Triangle HOA covenants, and it adds structural rigidity to the fence line on longer runs.
Is composite a good choice for eco-conscious homeowners?
It's the best choice in that category. Trex diverts reclaimed wood and recycled plastic from landfills — the 95% recycled content is a verified figure, not a marketing claim. If the environmental impact of your fence materials matters to you, composite is the only fence we install that makes a meaningful dent in that calculation.
