NewStead Composite Fencing

Composite fencing is an excellent choice for property owners who want a durable, low-maintenance, and eco-friendly perimeter solution. Made from an advanced wood-plastic composite material, these panels offer high durability with minimal upkeep. Resistant to rot, decay, and pests, composite fencing provides a long-lasting, cost-effective investment for your residential or commercial space. The interlocking panels install effortlessly to create a stylish, sustainable privacy fence.

Durability: Rot, decay, and pest-resistant material engineered for long-term outdoor performance.
Low Maintenance: Eliminates the need for frequent staining, sealing, or painting.
Modern Aesthetic: Delivers a clean, sustainable privacy barrier with interlocking ease.

Question 30

How Sustainable is Wood Composite Fencing?

Accepted Answer

Wood composite fencing (such as the NewStead line) is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional wood, engineered to minimize environmental impact:

Recycled Content: Made using recycled plastics and renewable bamboo fibers, keeping plastic out of landfills without relying on virgin timber.
Chemical-Free Upkeep: Never requires toxic stains, paints, or sealers - cleaning requires only soap and water.
Extended Lifespan: Resists rot, mold, and pests, resulting in far fewer replacements and less material waste over time.

Key Features of Composite Fencing
Exceptional Durability: Engineered for long-lasting strength, composite panels withstand harsh weather, including rain, snow, and high winds, without warping or rotting.

Eco-Friendly Construction: Manufactured using recycled plastics and natural wood fibers, providing a sustainable, environmentally conscious alternative to virgin timber.
Versatile Aesthetic: Available in various styles and finishes - including modern gray and classic brown wood-grain effects - to complement any property's design.

Question 32

Is the Height of Composite Panels Customisable?

Accepted Answer

Yes. First Fence USA offers NewStead composite fencing in standard system heights of 1 ft, 2 ft, 3 ft, 4 ft, 5 ft, and 6 ft. Because the tongue-and-groove boards stack modularly (each board adds 6-5/8" of height), you can adjust panel heights to fit your exact site requirements. Both the composite boards and aluminum posts can also be cut down on-site for a fully custom installation.

Question 33

What Composite Post Heights are Available?

Accepted Answer

The NewStead Aluminum Fence Posts (used with First Fence USA composite systems) are available in two standard lengths:

6 ft. Length: Designed for standard privacy perimeters and bolt-down applications (using an optional post base).
8 ft. Length: Ideal for taller fence designs or in-ground (dig-in) installations that require extra below-ground depth.

Both heights feature a heavy-duty 3-1/8" x 3-1/8" (12-gauge) aluminum profile and can be trimmed on-site to accommodate custom fence heights or wall-top installations.

Question 34

Can I Install Composite Fence Posts to Concrete?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can easily install NewStead fence posts onto concrete using a NewStead Post Base. Simply anchor the base to the concrete slab, slide the aluminum post over it, and add a base cover plate to conceal the mounting hardware for a clean finish.

Our standard temporary fencing panels are engineered for easy handling, rapid site setup, and reliable security across construction and event perimeters:

Smartweld Crowd Control Barrier: Measures 3 ft 7 in high by 7 ft 6 in long (1.1 m x 2.3 m), offering an ideal height and span for pedestrian guidance and event queue management.

The total number of feet you need depends on how many panels you are installing. As a rule of thumb, you will need one foot per panel, plus one additional foot to secure the end of the line.

Example: A run of 10 panels requires 11 feet (1 per panel + 1 extra for the end).

Question 40

How many Couplers do I need?

Accepted Answer

You will need two couplers per join to connect adjacent temporary fence panels securely - one placed near the top and one near the bottom of the frame.

Material: Heavy-duty thermoplastic

These dimensions and weight provide a stable base to ensure your temporary fence panels remain upright and secure against high winds and outdoor jobsite conditions.

Question 42

How many Plastic Feet do I need per Temporary Fence Panel?

Accepted Answer

You need one thermo-plastic foot per panel, plus one additional foot to secure the very end of the fence line.

Calculation Formula: Number of Panels + 1 = Total Thermo-Plastic Feet

Example: A run of 20 panels requires 21 thermo-plastic feet to ensure the entire perimeter is fully supported and stabilized.

Question 43

How are Plastic Feet installed with Temporary Fencing Panels?

Accepted Answer

Installing Thermoplastic Feet with Temporary Fence Panels

Position the Foot: Place the base foot flat on level ground along your fence line.
Insert the Panel Legs: Slide the bottom legs of the fence panels into the receiver holes on top of the foot.

By serving as a solid, grounded anchor, these premium fencing blocks help prevent unauthorized tampering and maintain the overall integrity of your boundary system.

Question 45

How do I install a Standard Coupler?
