Why Trex Fencing Is Different

Your fence should be more than just a boundary. That's why we build our fences to last while helping to save the planet. Each Trex fence is 95% recycled wood and plastic composite, which reduces landfill waste while creating beautiful, strong, durable fences for everyday use.

Recycled wood that would otherwise end up in a landfill finds its way into Trex high-performance composite materials. Composite wood fencing offers not just natural appeal, but durability and low maintenance. Using recycled sawdust, we have never had to cut down a tree to make our products. Ever.

The recycled wood in our fences is combined with recycled plastic from a variety of sources ranging from the overwrap on paper towels to dry cleaner bags, sandwich bags, newspaper sleeves, and grocery and shopping bags. The average 100-linear foot Trex composite fence contains 140,000 recycled plastic bags!

Trex's proprietary, eco-friendly processing method eliminates the use of smoke stacks. Also, our factory runoff and refuse are recycled back into the manufacturing line. Our trailers even run on vegetable-based oil hydraulics.

Trex works along with other U.S. Green Building Council members to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built and operated with the goal of creating environmentally and socially responsible spaces that improve the quality of life.

Built to Last

Trex fences never rot or decay, so unlike wood, they won't need to be treated or stained. Their low-maintenance design promises decades of high-end performance.

Sustainable Design

A 100-sq-ft Trex fence contains up to 140,000 plastic bags. Our composite fencing isn't just eco-friendly; it's a step toward a more sustainable future.

Easy Installation

The interlocking pickets and specialized hardware make Trex fence installation fast, smooth, and easy, whether you're a professional fence company or homeowner.
