Looking for the look of wood without the upkeep? Composite fencing gives you a clean, lasting fence with the warmth of a wood grain and very little maintenance. Also called WPC or wood plastic composite fencing, it combines recycled wood fibers and plastic resin to create strong, stable fence panels.
At Super Fence Co., we install composite and WPC fencing for homes and businesses throughout Ardmore, the Main Line, Delaware County, Montgomery County, and Chester County. We have been providing residential and commercial fencing solutions in Ardmore since 2002. Request your free fence estimate to talk through your property, style, and options.

Composite is a practical choice when you want a fence that keeps its appearance without regular painting or staining. The boards are designed to resist rot, warping, insects, and everyday moisture, while the wood grain gives the fence a more natural look than a smooth synthetic panel.
Premium composite systems use a WPC core with a protective outer layer for added resistance to moisture, UV exposure, stains, and scratches. Structural aluminum components support the panels, giving the finished fence a clean, straight appearance and dependable performance through Pennsylvania weather.
The biggest advantage is simple: less work for you. Instead of planning for repeated staining, painting, or board replacement, you get a fence built for years of everyday use.
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.

Composite fencing can be designed around the way you use your property, whether you need full privacy, a lighter boundary, or a more decorative finish.
Popular options include:
Vertical privacy: Full height panels for backyards, pools, and road facing areas.
Horizontal privacy: A clean, modern layout that works especially well with contemporary homes.
Semi privacy: Spaced boards provide screening while keeping the fence feeling more open.
Picket styles: A classic choice for front yards and garden borders.
Lattice top designs: A privacy panel finished with decorative detail above.
Composite is also available in tones such as charcoal, natural walnut, tan, and other wood inspired finishes, depending on the product line. The textured surface is designed to echo the character of timber while keeping the maintenance low.

Every property is different, so there is no single fence material that is right for everyone.
Composite is a good fit when you want the appearance of wood with very little upkeep. Wood remains a favourite for its natural character and flexibility, and our wood fencing can be built in a range of styles. Vinyl is another low maintenance option when you prefer a smooth, simple finish.
We install all three, so our job is not to push you toward one material. We will look at your property, your priorities, and your budget and help you choose a fence that makes sense for the space.
Available in a rich wood-grain texture that reads as authentic, hand-built timber from a distance and close up.
Unlike flat artificial PVC, composite panels display authentic texturing mimicking aged teak, cedar, and oak.
Deep modern slate. Bold, high-contrast framing choice.
Warm tones designed to mirror aged western red cedar lines.
Soft beige hues that blend naturally with light Main Line stone work.
An honest comparison from an established local contractor that builds and stands behind all three options.
Good materials still need a good installation. Composite panels are heavier than many traditional fence materials, and proper post depth, framing, and expansion spacing all matter.
Our installation process starts with an on site estimate and property review. We look at the fence line, grade, ground conditions, property boundaries, and local requirements. Where permits or utility marking are needed, we help guide the process.
Posts are set below Pennsylvania's frost line to help prevent shifting during freeze and thaw cycles. Composite panels are then installed with the appropriate spacing to allow for seasonal expansion and contraction. We finish by aligning the gates and walking the completed fence with you.
From Ardmore to Bryn Mawr, Gladwyne, Haverford, Wynnewood, and surrounding communities, Super Fence Co. builds fences for residential and commercial properties. We are local, experienced, and familiar with the properties, terrain, and municipal requirements across the Main Line.

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.
A standard 200-foot premium backyard enclosure runs from $5,600 to $9,000 depending on color choices, gates, and municipal permit fees.
The main downsides of composite fencing are higher upfront cost and fewer customization options than wood. It cannot be painted a custom colour after installation, and lower-grade WPC products without a co-extruded polymer surface can fade over time. Specifying contractor-grade co-extruded composite eliminates the fade issue, and the zero-maintenance lifetime cost compensates for the higher upfront price within 5 to 10 years.
A properly installed composite fence typically lasts 25 to 30 years or more. Because WPC does not rot, warp, fade significantly, or attract insects, its lifespan is largely determined by the quality of the panel specification and the precision of the installation - particularly the correct setting of posts below the frost line and the maintenance of proper thermal expansion gaps between boards. Premium co-extruded WPC panels often carry manufacturer warranties of 20 to 25 years against structural failure and significant colour change.
Both are excellent low-maintenance materials, but they suit different priorities. If the wood-look aesthetic matters to you and eco-friendly sourcing is a consideration, composite is the better choice. If budget is the primary driver and a clean smooth finish is acceptable, vinyl is the better value.
Yes, for most homeowners who plan to stay in their property long-term, composite fencing is worth the higher upfront investment. The elimination of painting, staining, and board replacement over a 25 to 30 year period represents a significant cumulative saving compared to wood. The wood-grain aesthetic is also increasingly valued in premium suburban markets like the Philadelphia Main Line, where curb appeal and property presentation matter. The question is not whether composite is worth it - it is whether you are the right candidate for it based on your timeline and budget.
Trex is a brand name for one specific composite fencing product line - Trex Seclusions. 'Composite fence' is the generic material category, of which Trex is one manufacturer. Other manufacturers include TimberTech, Fiberon, and various private-label WPC panel systems. The material construction - recycled wood fibers plus plastic resin with an aluminium post-and-rail frame - is consistent across most quality composite fence systems. Brand selection affects specific colour options, panel profiles, and warranty terms. Super Fence Co. can advise on the product lines we install during your free estimate.
No, composite fencing is generally more expensive than vinyl, both upfront and per linear foot. However, both materials have near-zero maintenance costs over their lifetimes, so the total lifetime cost difference is primarily the upfront premium. If budget is the primary driver, vinyl is the more economical choice. If the wood-grain texture and eco-friendly material composition matter, composite justifies the additional cost.
Low-grade composite products using basic WPC without a co-extruded polymer surface can become brittle over time, particularly in climates with significant temperature extremes. Premium co-extruded composite fencing - where the WPC core is encased in a protective polymer shell does not go brittle under normal residential conditions. Pennsylvania's freeze-thaw cycles are within the design specification of quality composite systems, provided posts are set below the frost line, and thermal expansion gaps are correctly maintained during installation.
Quality composite fencing does not rot or warp - the WPC material has no organic structure to rot, and the high-density core resists thermal movement that would warp natural wood. On fading: lower-grade WPC without a co-extruded UV-stabilised surface layer can show some colour change over many years in direct sunlight. Premium co-extruded composite with a UV-stabilised polymer surface does not fade significantly and often carries a manufacturer warranty against colour change. Super Fence Co. installs contractor-grade co-extruded composite - fading, warping, and rotting are not concerns.
