This can seem like an impossible ask at first glance, but the right gates will meet all of these requirements—and more! But how do you find the right one? We’ve got you covered with our ultimate guide to everything there is to know about composite fencing gates. Let’s get started! (Also included social media buttons/links).
What you need to know about fences
There are two main types of fences in the world. They are wood and composite. Wood is easy to work with and it’s what most people think of when they imagine a fence, but it requires upkeep and periodic staining. Composite fencing gates last much longer and they’re generally stain-free, but they can be a pain to install correctly because of their varying thicknesses. Unifloor has made things easier for customers by ensuring that each composite fence panel can be installed on its own without any additional framing from you; just snap it into place! Everything you need is included in your package so there’s no reason to wait any longer!
Types of Wood Fences
There are a lot of types of wood fences out there, with an equal number of benefits and drawbacks. Fences made from cedar tend to be strong, durable, and resistant to rot, but they do not have a long lifespan. Composite materials such as PVC or HDPE can last for a very long time without showing signs of wear and tear. Wood-plastic composite (WPC) fences have many benefits, but they are also generally more expensive than other types of fences.

Choosing a composite fence can be tough. They have been around for many years and they’ve evolved with time as they compete against more traditional wooden fences. Here at Unifloor Fencing, we’ll guide you through all you need to know when choosing a new fence; everything from initial cost, to aesthetics and practicality, will be covered in detail in today’s post on composite fencing gate!

Tips on what type of fence should you get?

Let our expert’s help you figure it out! We can also help you decide if hiring a contractor makes more sense than doing it yourself (hint: often times it does). From general contractors to specialists in composite fences, we can connect you with vetted pros who are experts in their fields.

DIY vs. hiring professional help
Depending on your budget and comfort level, there are many reasons why you may choose to DIY or hire a professional. Here are a few questions to consider when deciding between hiring a professional or doing it yourself. Do I want instant gratification? When you hire someone for a job, they come out and get it done – immediately. If you do it yourself, sometimes you’ll have to wait until your project is complete before you can enjoy what you’ve made (but isn’t that the point?). You also have to factor in delays like waiting for materials to arrive or dealing with adverse weather conditions if your project spans longer than one day. You can avoid those kinds of delays if you hire someone who works year-round!
