  • Q: What materials are used in the composite wood fences offered by The Eco Fence, and why are they an eco-friendly option?
    A: The composite wood fences available at The Eco Fence are crafted from a blend of recycled wood fibers and high-quality recycled plastics. This combination results in a durable, long-lasting product that minimizes the need for frequent replacement, reducing overall waste. The eco-friendly aspect is further highlighted by the sustainable sourcing of materials, which helps in conserving natural resources. Additionally, the manufacturing process of these composite fences emits less carbon dioxide compared to traditional wood processing, positioning The Eco Fence as a responsible choice for environmentally-conscious home improvement projects.
  • Q: What is co-extrusion in composite fencing?
    A: Co-extrusion is an advanced manufacturing technique wherein multiple polymer layers are extruded concurrently through a single die. In the context of composite fencing, this process enables the formation of a core-shell structure: a durable inner core for structural integrity, and an engineered outer layer that imparts enhanced performance characteristics. The outer cap layer in The Eco Fence boards provides targeted functionality, including UV stabilization, microbial resistance (anti-bacterial and anti-fungal), salt air corrosion resistance, and improved abrasion resistance.

  • Q: Can you put nails or drill into the composite wood material?
    A: While using nails or drilling into the boards is possible, we do not recommend it. Doing so can damage the top protective layer, which will void the warranty we offer. Although it won’t rot or degrade right away, exposing the inner layer to moisture could lead to some damage over time. If no alternative is available, proceed with caution.
  • Q: How long does it take for The Eco Fence to ship an order?
    A: The Eco Fence typically ships orders within 1-3 weeks. Most colors are in stock and may ship even sooner. We provide tracking information once your order ships. Shipping times may vary based on location and items, but our customer support team is available to assist with any inquiries.
  • Q: How do I calculate the number of Eco Fence composite wood fences and gates needed for my project?
    A: To calculate the number of Eco Fence composite wood fences and gates needed for your project, follow these steps: 1. Measure the total length of the perimeter you want to fence. 2. Determine the placement and width of any gates. 3. Our standard post spacing is 6 feet. 4. Subtract the total width of the gates from the perimeter length, then divide the remainder by 6 to get the number of fence sections needed. Add extra posts for the ends. Example: For a 124-foot perimeter with a 4-foot gate: 124 - 4 = 120 feet. With 6-foot post spacing, 120 ÷ 6 = 20 sections. For precise estimates, contact our customer service at (619) 732-8250.
  • Q: Do you offer fence boards longer than 6 feet?
    A: No, The Eco Fence's standard boards are up to 6 feet for durability and ease of installation. For custom solutions, please contact our customer service.
  • Q: How much concrete do I need for each horizontal post?
    A: The amount of concrete you’ll need depends on the diameter and depth of your post hole. As a general guideline, a hole 12" in diameter and 24" deep typically requires up to two 50 lb bags of Fast-Setting Concrete Mix. Note: The concrete must be installed using the wet-set method. Dry setting is not recommended due to potential performance and stability issues.
