When we talk to folks looking to upgrade their outdoor space, the same question always comes up: “Is composite fencing really maintenance-free?” The short answer? Yes. But the better answer? It’s low-maintenance in a way that makes life a whole lot easier—without giving up good looks or strength.

If you’re dreaming about a fence that stays sharp through the seasons, without the hassle of painting or calling in a contractor, you’re in the right place. Here’s everything you need to know about maintenance-free composite fencing, and why it’s quickly becoming the go-to choice for backyards across Canada.

No Paint. No Stain. No Stress.

One of the best things about our composite fence panels is that they come ready to go. There’s no need to stain them. No need to paint them. No need to seal them with lacquer or worry about fading after a few summers in the sun. The colour goes all the way through the boards, so you don’t have to worry about peeling or chipping like with wood. Thanks to Ultrashield technology, our composite fences are backed by a 25-year warranty.

You pick your colour, install it, and that’s it. What you see is what you keep—year after year.

Easy to Install (Built with Pros in Mind)

We’ve engineered our composite fencing system with professionals in mind—because your time and reputation matter. Every post, panel and fence gate is made to fit together cleanly and securely, helping you finish jobs faster without compromising on quality.

The boards lock into place with minimal tools, and the system gives you flexibility on-site without the usual headaches. Clean lines, consistent results, and a system that makes your workflow smoother from start to finish.

Built to Handle Canadian Weather

Let’s be real: our winters don’t mess around. Between the freezing temps, the salt, the snow, and then all that spring rain, fences go through a lot up here. That’s where composite fencing really shines. Unlike wood, it won’t rot, warp, or splinter. And unlike vinyl, it won’t crack in the cold or sag in the sun.

It’s built to last through every season and still look good doing it.

Less Maintenance = More Savings

Yes, the upfront cost of composite fencing panels might be a bit higher than traditional wood—but that difference pays you back faster than you’d think.

With wood, you’re constantly spending on stain, paint, sealers, replacement boards, and repairs. Not to mention the time spent every summer maintaining it—or the cost of hiring someone else to do it.

Composite fencing skips all of that. No yearly upkeep, no buying tools or treatments, and no ongoing costs. It’s a one-time investment in something that’s made to last—and it frees up both your weekends and your wallet.

No More Annual Upkeep

If you’ve owned a wood fence, you know the drill: power wash it every year, fix broken boards, repaint it, replace the posts… and then repeat.

With composite fencing, you can skip all of that. A quick rinse with the garden hose is usually enough to keep it looking clean. Got some mud or pollen? No problem. Just wipe it down or use a soft brush and soapy water. Done.

Choose a Colour That Speaks to Your Space

Every space has its own voice—and your fence should match it. That’s why we offer two distinct composite fencing models: Classic and Fluted. Each brings a unique look, feel, and set of colours.

Textured and timeless, Classic fencing is designed to mimic the natural grain of wood—perfect for both modern and rustic spaces. It’s available in six rich, lasting tones.

Minimal and modern, Fluted fencing features horizontal grooves for a crisp, architectural finish—ideal for urban backyards and contemporary landscapes, ideal to pair with the Norwegian fluted siding. 

We offer six rich, modern and natural colours—each one inspired by the raw beauty of wood, and carefully crafted to blend with the Canadian landscape. Whether you’re going for bold contrast or soft harmony, there’s a tone that fits your vision:

  • Peruvian Teak – Warm and golden with a tropical feel, perfect for sunny backyards and lively green gardens.
  • Brazilian Ipe – Deep, dark, and dramatic. This one’s a stunner if you’re after something rich and modern.
  • Red Cedar – A true classic. Rustic and timeless, it brings out the best in traditional homes and natural surroundings.
  • Roman Antique – Earthy and aged, with soft, weathered tones that add instant character and charm.
  • Silver Gray – Cool and contemporary, this one pairs beautifully with stone, metal, or coastal design.
  • Hawaiian Charcoal – Dark and smoky with a modern edge. Looks sharp against lighter landscaping or decking.

The best part? What you see is what you keep. No fading, no re-staining. Just a fence that looks stunning year after year.

Both models are made to last, with colours that won’t fade, peel, or chip—no matter what the seasons bring.
