Will composite fencing rot?

One of the sad realities of wood fencing is that, for all its natural beauty, it will eventually begin to rot. 

That is why many people have turned to alternatives to wood, such as vinyl or masonry. As effective as those alternatives are, many customers are disappointed because they desire the natural aesthetic that wood provides. In order to fill that niche, composite fencing was produced, combining natural beauty with low maintenance.

While composite fencing sports greater durability compared to wood, it was still by no means the perfect alternative. Many types of composite systems require wood inserts or rails. So while the composite material itself won't rot, the other aspects of the fence will be susceptible. Another big issue was that even though composite fencing was lower maintenance, you could still count on the pickets bowing, expanding, and contracting. 

That is where Trex Fencing comes in. In the early 2000’s, vinyl and wood fencing were flourishing in our market. However, there was not a product that was durable, low maintenance, and also beautiful and functional. We worked hand in hand with Trex’s R&D department creating a composite fence that mimicked the look and strength of our most popular wood fence style at that time, only now with a material that would not rot, split, need painting or staining and could withstand extreme climates. With our expertise in fencing and Trex’s expertise in manufacturing, it was the perfect partnership for creating a fence product that was sure to be successful.

Our 25-year warranty includes rotting as well as other traditional woes of wood fencing; splitting, twisting, and insect damage. Trex offers a revolutionary take on composite fencing.
