What Makes Composite Fencing Different: Material Composition Breakdown
The Recycled Content Formula
Composite fence materials aren’t just one product. They’re engineered blends of recycled components. Most quality composites contain 50-95% recycled materials combining wood fibers with plastic polymers.
Here’s what goes into the composite boards protecting Georgia properties:
Recycled wood fiber comes from sawdust, wood chips, and reclaimed lumber. This waste material that once filled landfills now provides structural strength and natural appearance. The wood content typically ranges from 50-60% of the total composition.
Recycled plastic includes high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) recovered from bottles, containers, and packaging. This plastic component bonds the wood fibers together while providing weather resistance. Quality composites use 40-50% recycled plastic content.
UV stabilizers and colorants make up the remaining 1-5%. These additives prevent fading under Georgia’s intense summer sun and maintain consistent color throughout the material’s lifespan.
Three Types of Composite Fence Materials
Wood-plastic composite (WPC) represents the most common formula. These boards combine wood fiber with thermoplastic polymers in a 60/40 ratio. WPC provides natural wood appearance with superior weather resistance. We install WPC composites throughout Athens and Atlanta for homeowners wanting wood aesthetics without wood maintenance.
Plastic-wood composite reverses the ratio to 60% plastic and 40% wood. This formula delivers maximum moisture resistance for Georgia’s humid climate. The higher plastic content resists warping and splitting better than WPC but costs 10-15% more.
Capped composite features a protective polymer shell over a wood-plastic core. This shell blocks moisture penetration completely. Capped composites represent the premium category, costing 20-25% more than standard WPC but lasting 30+ years in Georgia conditions.
How Manufacturing Affects Performance
The production process determines composite fence quality more than ingredient percentages. Extrusion molding creates boards with consistent density throughout. This uniformity prevents weak spots that crack or split.
Co-extrusion technology adds the protective cap to capped composites. The process bonds the shell to the core at molecular level. This connection prevents delamination that plagues lower-quality capped products.
Color integration happens during manufacturing, not after. Pigments mixed into the composite formula create fade-resistant colors that penetrate the entire board. Surface-stained composites lose color when scratched or weathered.

Georgia Climate Performance: How Composites Handle Heat, Humidity, and Red Clay
Moisture Resistance in Southern Humidity
Georgia’s 70-80% average humidity destroys traditional wood fences within 8-12 years. Composite materials change that timeline dramatically. The plastic content blocks moisture absorption that causes wood rot and decay.
We’ve monitored composite fences across Northeast Georgia for over a decade. These installations show minimal moisture damage even in shaded areas where humidity concentrates. The plastic polymer coating prevents water penetration that swells and warps wood fibers.
Red clay soil creates additional moisture challenges. Clay retains water against fence posts and bottom rails. Traditional wood wicks this moisture upward, causing rot from the ground up. Composite materials resist this capillary action. The plastic barrier stops moisture migration before it reaches critical structural components.
Athens homeowners report composite fences looking nearly identical after 10 years as installation day. No rotting boards. No warped panels. No mold or mildew staining. Just consistent performance through Georgia’s wettest seasons.
Heat Expansion and Summer Performance
Georgia summers test every fence material. Temperatures exceeding 95°F cause expansion in composite boards. Quality materials manage this movement through proper installation spacing and clip systems.
We install composite fences with 1/4-inch gaps between boards. This spacing accommodates thermal expansion without creating visible separation. The clips holding boards to rails allow controlled movement in extreme heat.
Inferior composite products expand excessively in Georgia heat. Boards warp, buckle, or pull free from fasteners. We’ve replaced several failed composite installations from national retailers. These products lacked the UV stabilizers and density required for Southern climates.
Premium capped composites perform best in Atlanta’s heat island effect. The protective shell reflects solar radiation rather than absorbing it. This reflection keeps surface temperatures 10-15°F cooler than uncapped composites.
Freeze-Thaw Cycle Resistance
North Georgia experiences 20-30 freeze-thaw cycles annually. Water trapped in materials expands when frozen, then contracts during thaws. This cycle cracks concrete and splits wood. Composite materials resist this damage through low moisture absorption.
The plastic content in composites prevents water infiltration below the surface. Without trapped water, freeze-thaw cycles cause minimal damage. We’ve inspected 15-year-old composite fences in Gainesville showing no cracking or splitting despite hundreds of freeze-thaw events.
Compare this performance to traditional wood privacy fencing, which shows visible weathering within three years of Georgia exposure.
Red Clay Contact and Ground-Level Durability
Red clay soil poses unique challenges for fence materials. The clay’s acidity and moisture retention accelerate deterioration in organic materials. Composite fences resist this decay through plastic encapsulation of wood fibers.
We install composite fences with 2-3 inches of clearance above grade. This gap prevents clay contact while maintaining privacy and security. The elevation also improves drainage around fence lines, reducing moisture accumulation.
Posts require special consideration in red clay. We use steel or aluminum posts for composite fences rather than composite posts. Metal posts won’t rot when buried in clay, and they provide superior lateral strength in Georgia’s shifting soil.
Maintenance Requirements and Long-Term Care in Georgia
Annual Cleaning Protocol
Composite fences require minimal maintenance compared to wood, but they’re not maintenance-free. Annual cleaning removes accumulated dirt, pollen, and mildew that dull appearance.
Georgia’s pollen season deposits yellow-green dust on every outdoor surface. This pollen clings to composite texture, creating discoloration. A simple spring cleaning with soap and water restores original color.
Cleaning procedure for Georgia composite fences:
- Mix mild detergent with warm water (1:10 ratio)
- Scrub fence with soft-bristle brush or sponge
- Rinse thoroughly with garden hose
- Allow 24-48 hours to dry completely
Avoid pressure washing composite materials. High pressure forces water beneath the protective cap, causing delamination and swelling. Gentle washing with moderate water pressure cleans effectively without damage.
Mold and Mildew Management
Shaded fence sections in humid Georgia develop mold and mildew growth. The organic wood content in composites provides food for these organisms despite the plastic coating.
We recommend quarterly mildew inspections for north-facing fence sections. Catch growth early and remove it with vinegar solution (1:1 white vinegar to water). This natural cleaner kills mildew without harsh chemicals.
Homeowners in heavily wooded areas face persistent mildew challenges. These properties benefit from annual application of mildew-resistant coating. The coating creates a barrier preventing organism attachment to composite surfaces.
Scratch and Scuff Repair
Composite materials resist scratches better than wood but aren’t scratch-proof. Lawnmowers, weed trimmers, and fallen branches create surface damage. Uncapped composites show white or gray marks where pigmented layers get scraped away.
Touch-up paint pens match most composite colors. These pens fill scratches and blend repairs into surrounding material. The repair process takes minutes and prevents moisture infiltration through damaged spots.
Capped composites repair differently. The protective shell can’t be painted or stained. Deep scratches through the cap require professional repair with heat-fusing techniques or board replacement.
Seasonal Inspection Checklist
Georgia’s dramatic seasonal changes warrant quarterly fence inspections. These checks identify developing problems before they require expensive repairs.
Spring inspection focuses on:
- Winter storm damage assessment
- Fastener tightness after freeze-thaw cycles
- Mold or mildew growth from spring moisture
- Vegetation encroachment requiring trimming
Summer inspection includes:
- Heat expansion gaps maintaining proper spacing
- UV fading in high-exposure areas
- Hardware corrosion from humidity
- Ground clearance after clay settling
Fall preparation involves:
- Debris removal from between boards
- Drainage improvement around fence line
- Loose board identification before winter storms
- Vegetation cutting before dormancy
Winter checks cover:
- Ice damage to bottom rails
- Snow load stress on horizontal spans
- Frozen ground movement affecting posts
- Moisture accumulation in low spots

Environmental Benefits: Why Recycled Materials Matter in Georgia
Landfill Diversion Impact
Every composite fence diverts hundreds of pounds of waste from Georgia landfills. A typical 6-foot privacy fence uses 800-1,200 pounds of recycled materials per 100 linear feet.
Consider the math for a standard residential installation. A 200-foot composite fence contains 1,600-2,400 pounds of recycled wood and plastic. That’s material previously destined for Georgia’s overburdened waste stream.
We’ve installed over 50,000 linear feet of composite fencing across Northeast Georgia. This translates to 400,000-600,000 pounds of recycled materials reused instead of buried. Each installation removes waste while creating durable property boundaries.
Forest Preservation Through Wood Fiber Recycling
Georgia’s timber industry provides crucial economic benefits. But harvesting trees for fence materials creates environmental costs. Composite fencing reduces demand for virgin lumber through sawdust and wood chip recycling.
The wood fiber in composites comes from:
- Sawmill waste from lumber production
- Furniture manufacturing offcuts
- Pallet repair and demolition debris
- Construction site wood scraps
These waste streams generated material headed for burn piles or landfills. Composite manufacturing transforms this waste into fence boards that outlast the original lumber by decades.
A 200-foot wood privacy fence requires 1,200-1,600 board feet of new lumber. The equivalent composite fence uses zero virgin timber. Over a composite fence’s 25-30 year lifespan, this prevents multiple replacement cycles requiring additional tree harvesting.
Reduced Chemical Treatment Requirements
Traditional wood fences need chemical preservation treatments. Pressure-treating processes inject copper-based chemicals into lumber, preventing rot and insect damage. These chemicals leach into Georgia soil over time.
Composite materials eliminate chemical treatment requirements. The plastic encapsulation provides preservation without copper compounds, arsenic derivatives, or other preservatives. Georgia families gain peace of mind knowing their fence doesn’t leach chemicals into play areas or gardens.
This benefit matters especially for organic gardeners and families with young children. Composite fences maintain property boundaries without introducing synthetic chemicals to the environment.
Manufacturing Energy Considerations
Composite fence production requires less energy than vinyl extrusion or steel manufacturing. The recycling process melts and reforms existing materials rather than creating new polymers from petroleum or mining and smelting metal ores.
However, composite manufacturing does use more energy than milling raw lumber. The melting, mixing, and extrusion processes require industrial heating and pressure. The environmental benefit comes from material recycling offsetting higher production energy.
Over a fence’s full lifecycle, composite materials demonstrate lower environmental impact than wood or vinyl when accounting for:
- Material sourcing and extraction
- Manufacturing energy use
- Transportation fuel consumption
- Maintenance product requirements
- Replacement frequency and disposal
Cost Analysis: Initial Investment vs. Long-Term Value
Upfront Cost Comparison for Georgia Installations
Composite fencing costs more initially than wood but less than premium materials. Understanding these price differences helps Georgia homeowners make informed decisions.
Average material costs per linear foot (6-foot privacy fence):
- Pressure-treated pine: $15-$22
- Cedar: $25-$35
- Standard composite (WPC): $30-$45
- Premium composite (capped): $40-$55
- Vinyl: $25-$40
- Aluminum: $50-$75
A typical 200-foot residential installation shows these total material costs:
- Pine: $3,000-$4,400
- Cedar: $5,000-$7,000
- Standard composite: $6,000-$9,000
- Premium composite: $8,000-$11,000
Installation labor adds $1,500-$3,000 depending on site conditions and fence complexity. Georgia’s red clay soil requires additional post-setting work, increasing labor costs 10-15% compared to sandy soils.
20-Year Total Cost of Ownership
Initial price tells only part of the story. Maintenance costs, replacement frequency, and lifespan determine true fence economics.
Pine fence 20-year costs:
- Initial installation: $4,500-$7,000
- Annual staining/sealing: $400-$600 (years 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14)
- Replacement (year 12-15): $4,500-$7,000
- Total 20-year cost: $14,300-$21,200
Cedar fence 20-year costs:
- Initial installation: $6,500-$10,000
- Annual staining/sealing: $400-$600 (years 3, 6, 9, 12, 15)
- Replacement (year 18-20): $6,500-$10,000
- Total 20-year cost: $15,500-$23,000
Composite fence 20-year costs:
- Initial installation: $7,500-$14,000
- Annual cleaning: $50-$100
- No replacement needed
- Total 20-year cost: $8,500-$16,000
The numbers reveal composite fencing’s economic advantage. Despite higher initial costs, composite materials save $5,800-$7,000 over 20 years compared to pine, and $7,000-$7,000 compared to cedar.
Property Value Impact
Real estate professionals recognize composite fencing’s value when evaluating Georgia homes. The material’s longevity and low maintenance appeal to buyers seeking move-in-ready properties.
Appraisers note composite fences add 70-85% of installation cost to property values, compared to 50-60% for wood fences. This difference stems from composite’s longer remaining lifespan at point of sale.
Consider a $10,000 composite fence installation. If selling after 10 years, the fence retains $7,000-$8,500 in value. A wood fence installed at the same time adds only $5,000-$6,000 to property value due to visible weathering and shorter remaining lifespan.
Schedule a consultation to discuss how composite fencing can enhance your property value in Athens, Atlanta, or surrounding communities.
Financing and Payment Options
The higher upfront cost of composite materials creates budget challenges for some Georgia homeowners. Several financing strategies make composite fencing more accessible.
Home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) offer low-interest financing for fence projects. Current Georgia rates range from 6.5-8.5%, with terms up to 15 years. A $10,000 composite fence financed through HELOC costs $89-$98 monthly.
Home improvement loans provide alternative financing without tapping equity. These personal loans feature 5-7 year terms with 8-12% interest rates. Monthly payments on $10,000 range from $165-$203.
Many homeowners find composite fencing achievable by planning ahead. Saving $200-$300 monthly for 2-3 years accumulates sufficient funds for most residential installations. This approach avoids interest charges while allowing time to research materials and contractors.
We offer project estimates breaking costs into material and labor components. This transparency helps Georgia homeowners develop realistic budgets for composite fence installations.
Installation Considerations for Georgia Properties
Site Preparation Requirements
Georgia’s terrain and soil create unique installation challenges. Red clay soil, rolling topography, and underground obstacles require careful site preparation.
Pre-installation site assessment includes:
- Property line verification through survey or plat map
- Underground utility location (Georgia 811 required)
- Drainage pattern evaluation for proper grading
- Soil type identification for post-setting strategy
- Vegetation removal and root clearing
Red clay soil compacts when wet and becomes concrete-hard when dry. We schedule composite fence installations during Georgia’s drier months (June-October) when ground conditions optimize post-setting. Wet-season installations require mechanical augers and extended curing time for post concrete.
Post Installation in Red Clay
Composite fence boards require sturdy support systems. We install steel or aluminum posts rather than composite posts for superior strength and longevity.
Georgia-specific post installation methods:
Steel posts set in concrete provide maximum lateral strength in shifting clay soil. We dig 30-36 inch post holes and fill them with fast-setting concrete. This depth extends below frost line and anchors posts in stable subsoil beneath clay layer.
Post spacing for composite fences varies by manufacturer specifications. Most require 6-8 foot centers for privacy fence applications. Closer spacing in clay soil improves stability when ground shifts with seasonal moisture changes.
We install posts 2-3 inches above final grade. This elevation prevents clay contact and improves drainage. The gap also accommodates future ground settling without creating fence misalignment.
Panel and Board Installation Techniques
Composite boards expand and contract with temperature changes. Proper installation spacing prevents warping and buckling in Georgia heat.
Critical installation requirements:
- 1/4-inch gap between board ends
- 1/8-inch gap between vertical boards
- Hidden fastener systems for clean appearance
- Manufacturer-specified clip or bracket hardware
- Aluminum or stainless steel screws (no galvanized)
We install composite fences using concealed fastening systems. These clips attach boards to rails while allowing controlled movement. The hidden hardware creates seamless appearance without exposed screw heads.
Georgia humidity causes steel hardware to rust within 2-3 years. We exclusively use stainless steel or aluminum fasteners for composite installations. These materials resist corrosion even in constantly moist environments.
Grading and Drainage Integration
Proper drainage extends composite fence lifespan by reducing moisture accumulation. We modify site grading to slope away from fence lines.
A 2-3% slope over 6-8 feet carries water away from fence posts and bottom rails. This grade prevents puddling that accelerates post corrosion and promotes mildew growth on composite boards.
French drains help manage water on properties with poor natural drainage. We install perforated pipe along fence lines collecting groundwater and routing it to appropriate discharge points. This drainage system proves especially valuable in North Georgia where clay soil prevents water absorption.
Permits and Regulatory Compliance
Georgia counties and municipalities enforce varying fence regulations. Most residential fence installations require building permits ensuring code compliance.
Common Georgia fence regulations:
- Height restrictions (typically 6 feet rear/side, 4 feet front)
- Setback requirements from property lines (usually 2-6 inches)
- Sight triangle preservation at corner lots
- HOA approval for controlled communities
We handle permit applications for our composite fence installations. This service ensures proper documentation and prevents delayed projects due to permitting issues. Learn more about Georgia fence regulations affecting your property.
Professional vs. DIY Installation
Composite fence installation requires specialized tools and techniques. Manufacturers void warranties on improperly installed materials.
Professional installation advantages:
- Proper spacing for thermal expansion
- Correct fastener selection and placement
- Warranty protection from manufacturer
- Site preparation and drainage optimization
- Post alignment and stability in clay soil
DIY installation saves labor costs but risks material damage and structural problems. Composite boards cut with standard tools require specialized blades preventing melting and chipping. The plastic content dulls saw blades quickly, increasing tool expenses.
Georgia homeowners attempting DIY composite installation often encounter clay soil challenges exceeding basic skills. Post-setting in hardened clay requires power equipment and experience achieving proper depth and alignment.

Comparing Composite to Traditional Georgia Fence Materials
Composite vs. Wood Performance
Wood remains Georgia’s most popular fence material. But composite alternatives offer performance advantages in our climate.
Durability comparison:
- Pine lifespan: 8-12 years in Georgia humidity
- Cedar lifespan: 15-20 years with regular maintenance
- Composite lifespan: 25-30+ years with minimal care
Georgia’s moisture creates ideal conditions for wood decay. Even pressure-treated pine shows rot within a decade. Cedar lasts longer but requires biennial staining preserving natural oils.
Composite materials resist moisture damage destroying wood fences. The plastic encapsulation blocks water penetration causing rot, warping, and splitting. This resistance proves especially valuable in shaded areas where humidity concentrates.
Maintenance comparison:
- Wood: Annual inspection, biennial staining, rot repair
- Composite: Annual washing, mildew treatment as needed
- Time savings: 4-6 hours annually with composite vs. 12-18 hours with wood
Aesthetic differences: Modern composites closely replicate wood grain patterns and colors. First-generation composites looked obviously synthetic. Today’s capped products fool observers from 10 feet away.
However, wood offers natural variation and character composites can’t perfectly match. Wood grain patterns vary by board, creating organic appearance. Composites repeat identical grain patterns creating uniform look some homeowners find less appealing.
Composite vs. Vinyl Comparison
Vinyl fencing dominates Georgia’s low-maintenance category. But composites offer advantages for specific applications.
Structural strength comparison:
- Vinyl breaks when impacted (lawn equipment, fallen branches)
- Composite flexes under impact, returning to original shape
- Vinyl cracks in extreme cold (rare in Georgia)
- Composite handles freeze-thaw cycles without damage
Georgia homeowners with active children or large dogs prefer composite’s impact resistance. Vinyl breaks when kicked or hit by sports equipment. Composite absorbs these impacts without permanent damage.
Temperature performance:
- Vinyl warps in Georgia heat (especially dark colors)
- Composite maintains shape in summer temperatures
- Both materials expand with heat (composite less than vinyl)
- Vinyl becomes brittle in rare Georgia freezes
Aesthetic options:
- Vinyl available in limited colors (white, tan, gray)
- Composite offers wood-grain finishes and varied earth tones
- Vinyl looks synthetic regardless of quality
- Premium composite closely mimics real wood
Cost comparison:
- Vinyl installation: $5,000-$8,000 for 200 feet
- Composite installation: $7,500-$14,000 for 200 feet
- Long-term costs similar due to maintenance requirements
For homeowners exploring vinyl fencing alternatives, composite materials provide superior impact resistance and natural appearance at moderate cost premium.
Composite vs. Metal Fence Comparison
Aluminum and steel fencing serve different purposes than composite materials. Metal excels in visibility applications while composite dominates privacy fencing.
Application differences:
- Metal: Ornamental, pool safety, commercial security
- Composite: Privacy, wind barrier, noise reduction
- Metal provides visibility through vertical bars
- Composite creates solid visual barrier
Longevity comparison:
- Aluminum: 30-40 years with powder coating maintenance
- Steel: 20-30 years with rust prevention care
- Composite: 25-30 years with minimal maintenance
Metal fencing requires periodic recoating in humid Georgia. Powder coating degrades from UV exposure, requiring reapplication every 10-15 years. Rust forms where coating fails, especially on steel fences.
Composite materials need no coating maintenance. The color integrates throughout boards during manufacturing. Surface scratches barely show due to consistent pigmentation.
Investment analysis:
- Aluminum fence: $10,000-$15,000 for 200 feet
- Composite fence: $7,500-$14,000 for 200 feet
- Metal provides 5-10 additional years lifespan
- Composite costs less initially with comparable longevity
Homeowners seeking security without privacy barriers choose metal fencing options. Those prioritizing privacy and wind protection select composite materials.
Frequently Asked Questions About Composite Fencing in Georgia
How long does composite fencing last in Georgia’s climate?
Quality composite fences last 25-30 years in Georgia conditions. Premium capped composites exceed 30 years with minimal maintenance. This lifespan triples pressure-treated pine performance and doubles cedar fence longevity in Georgia’s humid environment.
Can I install composite fencing myself?
Homeowners with construction experience can install composite fencing. However, specialized tools, proper spacing techniques, and post-setting expertise in Georgia’s red clay soil make professional installation advisable. Manufacturer warranties often require professional installation for coverage.
Does composite fencing fade in Georgia sunlight?
Modern composite fences resist fading through UV-stabilized formulas. Expect 5-10% color shift during the first year as materials weather. After initial weathering, capped composites maintain consistent color for decades. Uncapped products show more fading but remain attractive throughout their lifespan.
How does composite fencing handle Georgia storms?
Composite materials withstand Georgia’s severe weather better than wood fencing. The plastic content provides flexibility preventing wind damage. Proper installation with concrete-set posts resists storm winds up to 90 mph. We’ve seen composite fences survive tornado-force winds that destroyed surrounding wood fences.
What’s the best way to clean composite fencing?
Clean composite fences annually using mild soap and warm water. Scrub with soft-bristle brush or sponge, then rinse thoroughly with garden hose. Avoid pressure washing, which forces water beneath protective caps. For stubborn mildew, use vinegar solution (1:1 white vinegar to water).
Is composite fencing more expensive than wood?
Composite costs 50-75% more initially than pressure-treated pine fencing. However, composite’s 25-30 year lifespan without staining or replacement makes it cost-competitive over time. Total 20-year ownership costs favor composite by $5,000-$7,000 compared to wood requiring replacement and maintenance.
Will composite fencing warp in Georgia heat?
Quality composite materials resist warping through proper installation spacing and premium formulas. We install boards with 1/4-inch expansion gaps accommodating thermal movement. Premium capped composites perform best in Georgia’s summer heat, maintaining straight profiles while inferior products buckle.
Can I stain or paint composite fencing?
Composite fencing accepts paint and stain poorly. The plastic content prevents adhesion causing paint to peel. Manufacturers design composite colors to last the fence’s lifetime without refinishing. If color change becomes necessary, specialized composite stains provide limited success but void most warranties.
