Look beyond purchase price
A fair comparison considers the complete installed project and the ownership experience, not simply the cheapest individual panel.
Maintenance priorities
Homeowners who want to avoid a recurring painting or staining regime often find composite particularly attractive.
Design value
Coordinated posts, clean board lines, curated finishes and multiple system styles allow the boundary to contribute to the garden design.
When timber may still be right
If natural variation, traditional character or the lowest initial material cost is the overriding priority, timber may remain the preferred choice.
Make the decision project-specific
Compare the actual Pinnacle project price, obtain samples and decide whether the finish and ownership benefits justify the investment for your garden.
