Description
DuraPost VISTA composite fencing boards are low-maintenance, double-sided woodgrain boards for building modular DuraPost fence panels. Each pack contains four tongue-and-groove boards measuring 1820mm × 150mm × 20mm. The boards stack horizontally between matching VISTA aluminium profiles.
Are these DuraPost composite fence panels?
These are the individual composite boards used to build a DuraPost VISTA fence panel, not a pre-built complete 6ft panel. A nominal 1.8m-high VISTA bay uses 12 boards, which is three packs of four, together with the matching aluminium profile set, screws and the correct posts for the complete layout.
For a full fence run, use the DuraPost VISTA Fence Calculator. It calculates board packs across the whole project as well as shared posts, profiles, fixings and end connections.
DuraPost VISTA colours
- Graphite: deep contemporary grey with a visible timber-grain texture.
- Teak: warm timber-style colour for a more natural garden finish.
- Oyster: light neutral finish suited to modern outdoor spaces.
The VISTA boards can be paired with either Black or Anthracite Grey aluminium infills and DuraPost posts, so the frame and board colours can be selected independently.
Why choose DuraPost composite fencing?

What else do I need for a VISTA fence?
For one nominal full-height bay you will typically need three packs of VISTA boards, one VISTA aluminium infill profile set, one bag of DuraPost VISTA self-drilling screws and the correct DuraPost posts for the complete run.
Posts are shared between adjoining bays, so calculate the whole fence rather than ordering two posts for every panel.
Installation overview
- Set out and install the correct DuraPost posts for the full run.
- Fit the matching VISTA aluminium infill profiles between the posts.
- Insert the boards one at a time, checking level as the panel is built.
- Secure the system with the specified DuraPost self-drilling screws.
- Fit the required finishing components and check the complete installation.
Allow for site levels, expansion requirements, cutting guidance and the current DuraPost installation instructions. For exposed locations, unusual ground conditions, non-standard heights or structurally demanding layouts, obtain appropriate site-specific advice.
