Installing Composite Fence Panels

Installing Composite Fence Panels: Simple Steps For Standard Panels Or Decorative Screen Enhancements

NeoTimber® composite fence panels can be made up of NeoTimber® fence boards entirely or can be customised using a range of decorative screens. Installation guidance remains largely the same between these two installation options and both must include the installation of capping rails that are fixed at both the top and bottom of the fencing panel. NeoTimber’s decorative screens are an additional item that can be included into a fence panel installation. Installing composite fencing panels with decorative screens just means that the screen sits in place of the final two boards and is fixed using four aluminium rails that house it.

We cover installation guidance on both a standard fence board installation and a fence board and screen installation. For the sake of the installation guide, illustrations depict a panel installation that uses NeoTimber’s composite posts, however the same installation guidance should be followed when installing our capping rails, fence boards and screens to composite, concrete or timber posts.

Install Standard Composite Fence Panels

Installing a standard NeoTimber® composite fence panel is straightforward thanks to our tongue and groove system. The interlocking design ensures each panel slots securely into place, creating a strong, stable, and visually seamless fence. Start by positioning your posts at the recommended spacing and ensuring they are level, then slide each fence panel into the post inserts for a precise fit.

This system not only simplifies installation but also reduces the need for additional fasteners, making it quicker and easier to achieve a professional finish. With the panels designed for durability, your fence will remain secure and attractive for years to come, with minimal maintenance required.

Install Composite Fence Panels With Screens

Installing NeoTimber® composite fence panels with decorative screens is a simple and stylish way to elevate your fencing. The decorative screen replaces the top two boards of the panel and is securely held in place by four precision-engineered aluminium rails, ensuring stability and a clean, professional finish. This system allows you to combine practical fencing with a visually striking feature that enhances your outdoor space.

Our tongue-and-groove panels make alignment effortless, while the modular design ensures that screens can be swapped or upgraded in the future if desired. Follow our detailed guide on installing composite fencing with decorative screens to achieve a seamless, modern look that adds both privacy and a unique design element to your garden.
