The "Hybrid" Advantage

Why choose a Hybrid system? Traditional wood fences often rot at the posts. Hybrid Fencing solves this by combining a heavy-duty galvanized steel structure (posts and frames) with your choice of privacy panels.

At Les Clôtures Duratech, we specialize in these high-end systems that define your property with elegance. Whether you prefer the natural charm of real wood or the zero-maintenance benefits of composite, we build it on a rock-solid steel foundation.

Our Premium Hybrid Systems

1. Hybrid Wood Fence (Steel + Natural Wood)

The Affordable Modern Look. Get the trendy "black and wood" aesthetic without the risk of rotting posts.

  • The Structure: Black galvanized steel posts and rails ensure the fence stays straight for decades.
  • The Infill: We install treated wood or cedar boards within the steel frame.
  • The Benefit: You get the warmth and smell of real wood, but the durability of a metal skeleton.
  • Style: Available in horizontal or vertical board layouts.

2. Hybrid Composite Fence (Steel + Composite)

The Ultimate Low-Maintenance Solution. Combine the strength of our steel frame with high-tech composite boards (a blend of recycled wood fibers and plastic).

  • The Structure: The same robust black steel frame as our wood option.
  • The Infill: Premium composite boards that resist fading, scratches, and mold.
  • The Benefit: Never paint or stain again. It looks like wood but lasts a lifetime with zero upkeep.
  • Colors: Available in various tones (Greys, Browns, Cedar styles) to match your home.

Horizontal Slat Walls

  • The Architectural Choice.
  • Both our Hybrid and Composite systems can be installed in a horizontal configuration.
  • Why choose horizontal? It makes your yard feel larger and provides a high-end, contemporary "lounge" aesthetic that complements modern decks and pools perfectly.

Why Choose a Hybrid System?

Rot-Proof Structure

By eliminating wood-to-ground contact (using steel posts), you extend the life of the fence significantly.

Curb Appeal

These fences look just as good from the street as they do from the yard (often called "neighbor-friendly" designs).

Horizontal Designs

Both our Wood and Composite Hybrid systems are perfect for the popular horizontal slat look, making yards appear larger and more modern.

Privacy

These solid-panel designs offer total privacy, ideal for pool enclosures and hot tub areas.

Stability

Our 14-day concrete curing process ensures these heavier fences stay straight, even in South Shore's clay soil.

Our Installation Process

Precision is key for these premium systems.
1.
Design Consultation: We help you choose between Hybrid Wood or Hybrid Composite based on your budget and maintenance preference.
2.
Safety First (Info-Excavation): We handle the underground utility check. You (the client) obtain the construction permit from your municipality.
3.
Foundation: We drill post holes and pour concrete.
4.
Curing Phase: We allow the concrete to cure for approximately 14 days. Critical Step: Solid panels catch more wind than chain link. The foundation must be rock-hard before we install the panels.
5.
Assembly: We return to build the steel frame and slide in the wood or composite boards.
6.
Final Walkthrough: We review the alignment and finish with you.

Who Is This For?

What Our Clients Say

“We loved the Hybrid option—the black steel posts look so modern compared to our old pressure-treated fence.”
“Our yard has uneven ground, and the layout planning accounted for the slope perfectly. The horizontal composite boards look amazing.”
“The crew was professional. They handled the drilling and concrete first, then came back 2 weeks later to build the panels. The fence is solid as a rock.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Both use the same durable steel structure. The difference is the boards:

  • Hybrid Wood uses real lumber (needs occasional staining/maintenance but is more affordable).
  • Hybrid Composite uses synthetic boards (zero maintenance, higher upfront cost).
Can you install horizontal fences on a slope?
Yes, we "step" the fence panels down the slope. This creates a clean, tiered look that maintains the horizontal lines of the boards.
Do I need a permit?
Yes. Privacy fences (especially solid ones) have strict height rules. You are responsible for the city permit, but we provide the technical specs you need for the application.
How long does the installation take?

We follow our standard high-quality protocol:

Install posts → Wait 14 days for concrete to cure → Install panels.

The final assembly usually takes 1-3 days depending on the size of the project.
