Looking to transform your backyard with a unique, eye-catching woven fence that stands out from typical composite fencing? Learn how to craft beautiful woven fence panels that combine durability with artistic flair – perfect for privacy, curb appeal, and long-term property value. At Mecofence, we specialize in premium woven fence solutions that merge modern composite technology with handcrafted aesthetics, ensuring your fence lasts for decades while maintaining a designer look.
Understanding Woven Fence Basics
Woven fence panels are built by combining upright posts with horizontal strips that interlace in a patterned weave. This method creates a fence that’s structurally strong yet visually distinctive. Unlike plain, solid boards, woven panels add texture and dimension to your property.
Industry studies show that custom-designed fencing can boost home value by up to 7%. Mecofence enhances that advantage by offering precision-manufactured components, ensuring uniform tension, balanced aesthetics, and easy installation.

Advanced Tip: Mecofence WPC strips stay flexible in extreme heat or cold, reducing sagging and maintaining the clean weave lines year-round.
Common FAQs
Q: Which material should I choose?
Composite strips offer the best durability and weather resistance, while cedar provides a warmer, natural finish. With proper care, both can last 15–20 years. Mecofence WPC strips are engineered for over 20 years of service life, even in coastal or high-UV locations.
Q: How much tension should I apply when weaving?
Aim for snug but not tight—materials expand and contract with weather changes. Mecofence’s installation kits include tension guides to help keep spacing uniform.
Q: Are woven panels cheaper than composite fencing?
Yes—woven panels typically cost 20–30% less, plus they allow for customization that pre-made panels can’t offer. Mecofence also offers free shipping on bulk orders and extended warranties.
