Question 1

Why choose composite fencing over traditional wooden fencing?

Accepted Answer

Composite fencing offers a durable, low-maintenance alternative to traditional timber fencing. Unlike wood, it won’t rot, warp, or splinter, and it doesn’t need regular painting or staining to keep it looking good. It’s designed to withstand the elements while maintaining its appearance year after year.

In addition, composite fencing is made using recycled materials, making it a more sustainable choice, and it provides a clean, modern finish that works beautifully in both contemporary and traditional outdoor spaces.

Question 2

What sizes are your composite fences available in?

Accepted Answer

Our composite fencing panels are available in a range of standard heights, including 6ft, 5ft, 4ft, and 3ft, making them suitable for everything from full privacy fencing to lower boundary or decorative applications. Panels are designed to work seamlessly with our matching posts for a clean, consistent finish.

Question 3

What are your decorative trellises made from?

Accepted Answer

Our decorative trellises are precision laser-cut from 3mm aluminium and finished with a durable powder-coated coating in your chosen colour. This makes them strong, lightweight, weather-resistant, and ideal for long-term outdoor use.

Question 4

Can I get a bespoke decorative trellis design?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. All of our decorative trellises are laser cut in our Essex workshop, which allows us to offer bespoke designs as well as custom sizing. If you have a design idea in mind, simply get in touch and our team will be happy to help bring it to life.

Question 5

Can I position the decorative trellis anywhere within my fence panel?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our fencing system is designed to be fully configurable, allowing you to position the decorative trellis exactly where you want it within your fence panel. Regardless of the trellis size, you can tailor the layout to suit your design and privacy preferences.

Question 6

Are your fences easy to install?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our composite fencing system has been designed with the keen DIYer in mind, making installation straightforward and stress-free. Panels and posts are designed to fit together cleanly, and full guidance is available in our installation guide if you need extra support.

Question 7

Do your composite posts work on corners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our composite posts are designed to work across your entire fencing layout, including straight runs, ends, and corners. You can choose from middle posts (slots on both sides), end posts (slots on one side), or corner posts, allowing for a clean and seamless installation.

Made from high-quality recycled wood-plastic composite, our posts are available in two sizes and three colours and are specifically designed to work perfectly with our decorative panels, screens, and modular fencing system. Like our concrete post sleeves, they feature no visible fixtures or fittings for a sleek, modern finish.

Question 8

Does your fencing system work with concrete posts?

Accepted Answer

Our fencing system is not designed to fit directly into existing concrete posts. However, if you’re working with concrete posts, you can use our concrete post sleeves to achieve a clean, fully compatible installation.

Made from galvanised steel, our concrete post sleeves are specifically designed to work seamlessly with Blackbear composite fencing and decorative panels. They’re easy to install, completely weatherproof, and — like our composite posts — feature no visible fixtures or fittings, resulting in a sleek, polished finish.

Please note: concrete post sleeves are only compatible with Blackbear fencing and screens/panels.

Question 9

How quickly can I get my fences?

Accepted Answer

Most of our fencing products are made to order in our Essex workshop, with a typical turnaround time of up to 14 days. We always aim to manufacture and dispatch orders sooner where possible.

Our composite posts and modular fence slats are held in stock, which can help speed up delivery depending on your order.

Question 10

Is composite fencing eco-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Composite fencing is considered an eco-friendly alternative to traditional timber fencing. It’s made using a blend of recycled materials, which helps reduce waste and reliance on virgin resources. Unlike timber, composite fencing doesn’t require regular painting, staining, or chemical treatments, making it a lower-maintenance and more sustainable long-term option.

Question 11

Do your fences come with a warranty?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We’re confident in the quality of our fencing systems, which is why all of our products come with a warranty. For full details on coverage and terms, please visit our Warranties page.
