Used to think those composite fence panels were just overpriced plastic junk.

Put some in for a client near the coast six months ago, zero warping or rot so far. Anyone else seeing these hold up better than expected?

Heard about a buddy who put those in at his beach house three years back. Still standing straight, no cracks, just a bit faded from the sun.

But six months is nothing near the ocean, right? That's barely a season of real weather. I'd want to see them after a few years of salt spray and storms. They might look fine now but could get brittle or fade bad.

You're right that six months isn't much of a test. But I wonder if the bigger issue is the type of salt spray. Some beaches get a fine mist almost daily, and others only get hit with heavy spray during big storms. That constant damp salt film, even when it's not storming, might be what really gets into the material over years. So it might depend more on the exact spot on the coast than just the total time.
