Get the rich, textured warmth of natural timber without the splitting, fading, rotting, or constant restaining cycles. Engineered with aluminum structural framing for a guaranteed 25 to 30+ year lifespan.
Composite fencing, also called WPC fencing or wood plastic composite fencing — is a manufactured fencing material made from a blend of recycled wood fibers and plastic resin that delivers the natural look and texture of wood with none of the maintenance. It does not rot, warp, fade, or attract termites, and requires no painting or staining over its 25 to 30 year lifespan. Super Fence Co. installs composite and WPC fences for residential and commercial properties across Ardmore, the Main Line, Delaware County, Montgomery County, and Chester County.
Super Fence Company services the entire Main Line area as well as Delaware County, Montgomery County and Chester County. Call us today at (610) 642-4450 for a free estimate and give us the opportunity to show you what quality stands for.
Engineered from architectural alloys that withstand Pennsylvania freeze-thaw cycles, intensive UV exposure, and damp poolside chemicals without chipping or corroding.
Built using exclusive structural extrusions that are over 50% stronger than standard consumer aluminum rails, protecting against impacts.
Twice the thickness and physical hardness of standard paint. Electrostatically bound and heat-cured to remain scratch-resistant for life.
Adds an unmistakable estate boundary look that pairs beautifully with old stone, stucco, or brick exteriors while maintaining strong asset returns.
Available in a rich wood-grain texture that reads as authentic, hand-built timber from a distance and close up.

Composite panel weight is significantly heavier than wood. Unskilled crews routinely overlook the crucial math required to install these systems correctly.
PA frost lines range from 30 to 36 inches. We anchor every heavy structural support frame deep in thick concrete to prevent winter shifting.
Crucial Step: WPC expands in hot summers and contracts in winter. Our crews install exact manufacturer-specified expansion gaps between the hidden tracks to prevent buckling.
Instead of sagging wood rails, our composite sections slot cleanly into premium rust-free aluminum alloys, ensuring a straight, lifelong fence line.
| WPC Setup Type | Estimated Price Installed |
|---|---|
| Composite Picket / Spaced Board | $22 – $32 / LF |
| Composite Vertical Privacy Panels | $28 – $40 / LF |
| Composite Horizontal Luxury Slat Panels | $32 – $45 / LF |
| Premium Lattice-Top Options | $35 – $48 / LF |
A standard 200-foot premium backyard enclosure runs from $5,600 to $9,000 depending on color choices, gates, and municipal permit fees.
The single primary downside is the higher upfront installation cost. However, it requires no recurring painting or structural panel swaps, paying off the initial premium within 5 to 10 years.
Trex is simply a high-profile brand name for a specific line of composite systems. WPC is the umbrella material category. Super Fence Co. will help you balance specific brand warranties at your layout check.
Low-grade raw wood fibers can degrade if unprotected. However, our contractor-grade co-extruded polymers safeguard the structural core completely through heavy winter freeze cycles.
No. The integrated high-density core layer completely counters organic water absorption. Built-in UV stabilizers keep the matte colors rich without cracking or peeling.
