I am planning a backyard fence for an 1892 colonial revival home, and I need recommendations on a specific composite material to use. The yard has a 30 degree slope and the fence is 250 feet long. It also needs to be 6 feet high and provide a semi-private barrier. I have a design in mind, but can’t find the ideal material to work with. I am going to build it on site if necessary.
