Yes—fence panels can often be mixed and matched with timber, concrete or composite posts, provided the dimensions and fixing methods are compatible. This flexibility allows you to tailor the look, strength and maintenance level of your fence to your specific needs.

Concrete posts can hold most standard timber panels and composite panels that slot into recessed channels. They offer exceptional durability, do not rot and allow panels to be replaced easily in future without disturbing the foundations. Many homeowners choose concrete posts with timber panels to balance strength and appearance.

Timber posts work with most panel types but require careful treatment and maintenance to prevent rot. They offer a softer, more natural look and can be stained or painted to match the panels. They are ideal for decorative or traditional garden styles.

Composite posts are designed to work with matching composite boards but can sometimes be used with timber slatted panels or lightweight decorative screens. They provide a sleek, modern appearance and require minimal maintenance, making them perfect for contemporary gardens and new-build estates.

One important factor is ensuring that panel widths match the spacing of the posts. Most panels are designed to fit 1.8m centres, but bespoke gardens or unusual layouts may require custom solutions. During installation, we ensure that all supports, fixings and channels are compatible to guarantee a secure and long-lasting finish.
