A fence ranks differently depending on what you weigh: how long it lasts, what it asks of you each year, what it costs and how it stands up to wind.
| Measure | Timber panels | Composite | Metal railing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Durability | 10 to 15 years if treated | 20 to 30 years claimed | 25 to 40 years |
| Yearly upkeep | Inspect fixings, retreat every 2 to 3 years | Wash down, check clips | Check coatings, touch up rust |
| Cost band | Low | High | Medium to high |
| Exposure | Moves in gales, panels can lift | Rigid, needs solid posts | Flexible, tolerant of gusts |

Boundary Review is an independent editorial publication. We are not a manufacturer, an installer or a trade body. Every guide sets out the trade offs, upkeep and questions worth asking before work starts.
