GREEN FENCING SOLUTIONS WITH TREX COMPOSITE FENCE
When considering fence construction, it's essential to think about the long-term implications. That's where this guide comes into play. While some costs are straightforward, others require careful consideration. The most prevalent alternatives to Trex are wood and vinyl fences. In the following sections, we'll explore 16 key decision points to assist you in selecting the option that best suits your needs, backyard, and budget.
THINKING OF A FENCE? THINK AHEAD.
​
Trex Composite Fence offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional fencing materials. Made from an innovative hybrid of 96% recycled wood and plastic, Trex has been leading the way in sustainable fencing for over two decades. By utilizing reclaimed wood and sawdust, Trex helps reduce waste while providing a superior quality fence. Additionally, the recycled plastic used in Trex comes from everyday products such as grocery bags, dry cleaner bags, and newspaper sleeves, further contributing to a healthier environment.
Did you know? An average of 140,000 recycled plastic bags are used to manufacture 100-linear feet of Trex Fencing, making it a truly sustainable choice for your property.
COST COMPARISON: TREX FENCING VS. WOOD FENCING OVER TIME
​
Investing in a Trex composite fence may involve higher initial expenses, but it proves to be a superior long-term value. After approximately 10-12 years following installation, the combined costs of installation and maintenance for a basic stockade wood fence exceed those of a Trex fence.It's important to recognize that the value of a fence extends beyond the initial costs. With a Trex fence, you can enjoy your weekends elsewhere instead of spending them on fence maintenance.
The comparison assumes the typical practice of staining every other year and minor repairs within the first 10 years. Additional repairs can be expected between 10-15 years, while major repairs or full fence replacement may be necessary between 15-20 years. Due to the need for additional staining and more frequent replacements of individual pieces, the costs of a customized wood fence are likely to surpass those of Trex fencing sooner.
