Composite fences in Katy

Composite fencing is built from a blend of wood fiber and plastic, pressed into boards or panels that hold their color and do not need staining or sealing. It costs more up front than pine and often more than cedar, and in exchange gives up little to weather and insects over time.

What composite is

Composite boards and panels are made from recycled wood fiber and plastic, usually over an aluminum or composite frame. Colors and wood-grain textures are molded in rather than applied, so there is no finish to maintain.

Composite vs wood and vinyl

Composite will not rot, split or need re-staining the way wood does, and it typically holds color better than vinyl in full sun. It costs more than either up front. See wood vs vinyl vs iron for how the families compare on price and upkeep.

Weather and upkeep in Katy

Composite handles Katy's heat, humidity and heavy rain without the seasonal care a wood fence needs. Panels are heavier than vinyl, so posts and framing still need to be sized correctly, especially in clay soil.

HOA approval

Composite is newer than wood or vinyl in many Katy-area guidelines, so some associations have not addressed it directly. Check your design guidelines or ask your HOA before you order. See the HOA guide.

Cost

Composite runs higher per foot than pine or cedar. See current ranges on the fence cost page.
