What Is Eco Fencing?

Eco-fencing refers to fencing systems designed to:

  • Use sustainably sourced or recycled materials

  • Reduce environmental impact: long-term

  • Minimise chemical treatments

  • And it offers a much longer lifespan than traditional timber

Most commonly in the UK, eco-fencing includes:

  • Recycled composite fencing

  • Recycled plastic fencing systems

Why Traditional Timber Fencing Is Problematic

Standard pressure-treated fence panels:

  • Often last 5–10 years

  • Require staining or treatment

  • Contain chemical preservatives

  • Frequently end up in landfill

  • Contribute to higher levels of deforestation

While timber is natural, repeated replacement increases the environmental cost.

How Much Does Eco Fencing Cost in the UK?

While prices vary by region and specification:

  • Budget timber: £60–£100 per panel, installed

  • Composite systems: £120–£250+ per metre installed

However, long-term costs are often lower due to:

  • Reduced maintenance

  • Longer lifespan

  • No repainting

  • No treatment

  • Fewer replacements

When spread over 20+ years, eco-fencing can give you, our customer, better value.

Is Eco Fencing Worth It?

Eco fencing is ideal if you:

  • Plan to stay in your property: long-term

  • Want minimal maintenance

  • Prefer modern aesthetics

  • Want to replace panels, yourself.

  • Care about environmental responsibility

It may not suit those seeking the lowest upfront cost.

Low Maintenance

Does Eco Fencing Add Property Value?

Increasingly, sustainable home improvements:

  • Appeal to modern buyers

  • Improve kerb appeal

  • Reduce visible ageing

A high-quality fence enhances the overall garden presentation. Plus, the other added bit of value: you’re investing in your space. While the upfront costs may be higher than timber fencing, in the long run, you spend less and get to be more eco-friendly in your garden space, too.
