Composite Fence Installation in Portland, OR & the Metro Area

Wood-look privacy fences that won't rot, warp or need stain — across Portland, Lake Oswego, Sherwood, and surrounding communities.

Composite fencing is made from a blend of wood fibers and plastic, usually with a protective outer shell. It looks like wood from a few steps away, but it doesn't soak up water the way wood does, so it won't rot, warp or need stain. In a climate where wood fences spend much of the year damp, that's the main reason people choose it.

A composite fence is heavier than wood, so it's usually built as a system: boards slide into aluminum or steel posts and rails made for that product line. Metal posts don't rot at the ground line, which solves the weak spot that ends most wood fences around here. We set those posts deep in concrete so the fence stands up to winter wind.

Composite isn't maintenance-free, but it's close. Moss and grime can build up on shady sides; a wash with soapy water and a soft brush takes care of it. Colors can mellow a little in the first months of sun before settling.
