SIMULATED FENCE INSTALLATION FOR HOMES IN OREGON & WASHINGTON
Rick’s Custom Fencing & Decking installs simulated fences for homeowners throughout Oregon & Washington. Simulated fencing, also known as composite fencing, is designed to mimic the appearance of traditional wood while using engineered materials engineered for long-term outdoor performance.
Homeowners often consider simulated fencing when they want the visual character of a wood fence without the routine maintenance that wood typically requires. These fence systems use manufactured materials that maintain consistent color and structure, keeping the fence’s appearance over time.
Because the materials are engineered rather than cut from natural lumber, simulated fencing offers an alternative for homeowners who want the look of wood combined with modern durability.

Simulated Fence Styles
Simulated fencing systems can be installed in several configurations depending on the desired level of privacy and the layout of the yard.
Simulated Wood
Simulated wood fencing replicates the appearance of natural wood while using durable composite fence panels. This style provides the look of wood fencing while reducing the routine maintenance typically associated with traditional wood materials.
Simulated Rock
Simulated rock fencing replicates the appearance of stacked stone using engineered fence panels. This style creates a distinctive boundary while using durable materials designed for long-term outdoor performance.
Simulated Fence Styles for Residential Properties
These variations allow homeowners to match the fence design to their property while using the same durable material.
Privacy Fence Panels
Solid panel systems create a full visual barrier and are commonly used for backyard privacy fencing.
Decorative Composite
Some simulated fence systems incorporate trim pieces or accent details that add visual interest while maintaining the same material.

Why Homeowners Choose Simulated Fencing
Simulated fencing appeals to homeowners who want a fence that combines familiar design with materials intended for long-term outdoor use.
Low-Maintenance Fence Material
Unlike traditional wood fencing, simulated fence materials generally do not require staining or sealing. Most routine care involves occasional cleaning to remove dirt or debris.
Consistent Appearance Across Fence Panels
Because the material is manufactured, simulated fencing typically maintains uniform color and surface texture across the entire fence line. This helps the fence maintain a consistent appearance over time.
Materials Designed for Outdoor Durability
Many simulated fencing systems are designed to resist common outdoor issues such as moisture exposure, insect damage, and rot that can affect natural wood.
Wood-Inspired Fence Design
Simulated fencing is manufactured to resemble wood grain or traditional wood fence styles. This allows homeowners to achieve a wood-like appearance while using an engineered material.
Rick’s installs simulated fences with attention to layout, post placement, and panel alignment so the finished fence remains straight and visually consistent across the property.

How Simulated Fence Installation Works
Installing simulated fencing follows a process similar to other panel fence systems and begins with careful planning of the fence layout.
Planning Fence Layout and Post Placement
Installation begins by reviewing property boundaries, determining fence height, and establishing post spacing across the fence line.
Setting Fence Posts
Posts are installed at appropriate depths to support the fence panels and maintain structural stability.
Installing Simulated Fence Panels
Once the posts are in place, simulated fence panels are installed between them to create the finished fence line. Careful alignment during installation helps maintain a straight and consistent appearance.
Is Simulated Fencing Right for Your Property?
Simulated fencing can be a good option for homeowners who want the appearance of a wood fence but prefer a material that requires less routine upkeep. The engineered materials used in these systems are designed to maintain their appearance while providing a durable boundary for residential properties.
For many homeowners, simulated fencing provides a balance between the visual appeal of wood and the long-term performance of manufactured materials.
