Composite fencing in Sheffield
Composite fence panels slot between aluminium or composite posts. They don't rot, warp or need painting, and they match composite decking for a finished look.
Installed composite fencing typically costs £85 to £150 per metre. A 10 metre run usually comes to about £950 to £1,500.
A free matching service, not an installer. We find you a local decking installer. How it works
Is composite fencing right for you?
- You are tired of replacing or painting timber fence panels.
- You want a fence that matches new composite decking.
- Your garden is exposed and timber panels keep blowing or warping.
- You want more privacy with a clean, modern look.

What a good quote includes
Six things to ask every installer to put in writing, so you can compare quotes properly.
Posts set in concrete
Aluminium posts concreted in at the right depth keep the fence straight in Sheffield winds.
The right height
Fences up to 2 metres usually need no planning permission; next to a road used by vehicles, the limit is 1 metre.
Gravel boards
A board at the bottom keeps the panels off wet ground.
Matching caps and trims
Post caps and top rails finish the fence and keep water out.
Boundary agreed
Check who owns the boundary and talk to your neighbour before the old fence comes down.
Old fence taken away
Ask whether removal and disposal are included in the price.

Questions people ask
How much does composite fencing cost per metre?
Typically £85 to £150 per metre installed, including posts and panels.
Do I need planning permission for a new fence?
Not usually for fences up to 2 metres high, or 1 metre next to a road used by vehicles (or its footpath). Listed buildings and some estates have tighter rules.
Is composite fencing strong in high winds?
Yes, when the posts are set properly. Aluminium posts set in concrete hold up well in exposed gardens.
Does composite fencing fade?
Good capped boards resist fading, though all colours mellow slightly over the first months. Ask about the colour warranty.
