Graphite Grey Pvc Composite Post 2438mm
£35.61 Inc Vat
PVC composite posts in a plastic graphite grey is a popular choice for those seeking a durable, low-maintenance, and stylish boundary solution. Combining the strength of PVC with composite materials (often recycled plastics and wood fibers), this type of fencing offers several advantages over traditional timber. The Graphite Grey Colour provides a modern and sophisticated aesthetic that complements various outdoor settings.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Durability: PVC composite is engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions, including rain, wind exposure. It resists rot, decay, warping, and insect infestation, ensuring a long lifespan. Many brands offer substantial warranties (often 20+ years) as a testament to their durability.
- Low Maintenance: Unlike wood, PVC composite fencing requires minimal upkeep. There’s no need for regular painting, staining, or sealing. Occasional cleaning with soap and water is usually sufficient to keep it looking its best.
- Stylish Appearance: The plastic Graphite Grey Colour offers a contemporary and elegant look. Many manufacturers offer different textures and finishes to mimic the appearance of wood while providing a consistent Colour.
- Easy Installation: Composite fencing systems often feature interlocking panels or tongue-and-groove designs, making installation relatively straightforward for DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike. They can often be slotted into existing concrete posts, offering a convenient upgrade from old timber fences. The lightweight nature of the panels also makes handling easier.
- Environmentally Friendly: Many PVC composite fencing options utilize recycled plastics and wood fibers, contributing to a more sustainable choice by reducing waste and the need for virgin timber.
- Water Resistance: The plastic component makes the fencing highly water-resistant, preventing water absorption and the associated problems of rot and swelling found in wood.
- Insect Resistance: The material is inedible to insects like woodworm, eliminating the need for chemical treatments.

- Initial Colour May Vary: The Graphite Grey Colour you see upon delivery might not be the final, stable shade.
- Lightening Over Time: Over a period of approximately three to eight weeks, the panels will naturally lighten in Colour.
- Weather Dependent: The speed and extent of this lightening process are influenced by weather conditions, particularly exposure to sunlight and rain. More intense sunlight will likely accelerate the lightening.
- Stabilization: Eventually, the panels will reach a stable, lighter shade of graphite grey, which will be their permanent Colour in their natural outdoor environment.
Implications and Considerations:
- Planning and Expectations: It’s essential to factor this Colour change into your project planning and manage your expectations regarding the initial appearance.
- Matching Subsequent Purchases: If you plan to extend your fencing in the future, be mindful that the newly purchased panels will initially be a darker shade than your existing, stabilized fence. Allow time for the new sections to lighten and blend in.
- Full Installation Before Assessment: Avoid making final judgments on the Colour immediately after delivery. Allow the full stabilization period to pass before assessing the final aesthetic.
- Consistent Exposure: While the lightening is natural, try to ensure all panels receive relatively even exposure to the elements to promote a more uniform final Colour.
This natural weathering and Colour stabilization are inherent characteristics of some PVC composite materials as they adjust to their outdoor environment. Understanding this process will help ensure you are satisfied with the long-term appearance of your Graphite Grey PVC composite fencing
