Anthracite Grey Composite Fencing

Anthracite Grey Composite Fencing 

Anthracite grey continues to be one of the most in-demand colour choices across our composite fencing range.

While darker browns and blacks are gaining momentum, anthracite remains a firm favourite for customers building a contemporary garden boundary. We offer it across several styles, including woodgrain, reversible smooth and grooved, and slatted designs.

But there is one specific thing we recommend before buying any anthracite fencing: order a sample first. Anthracite might sound like a standard, universal colour, but the actual shade differs considerably between products and manufacturers.

Here is what you need to know before you order.

What Colour Is Anthracite Grey Fencing?

Anthracite is a deep, dark grey. However, not every anthracite composite product looks exactly the same.

Depending on the specific composite formulation and surface treatment, you will find shades that appear lighter, darker, or have noticeably different undertones. Some carry a cooler, slightly blue-grey tint, while others sit much closer to a flat, deep charcoal.

Do not rely solely on a colour name or a photograph on a phone screen. We created our guide to composite fencing colours to help customers choose the right shade for their garden and surrounding landscape. However, if achieving a close colour match is important to you, we always recommend ordering a physical sample and comparing it directly with the materials already around your home.

Smooth and Grooved Anthracite Fencing

Our reversible smooth and grooved fencing offers two distinct finishes. The smooth side provides a minimalist, understated look, while the grooved side introduces sharp lines and texture. Anthracite works incredibly well with grooved boards because the dark colour heavily emphasizes the shadows cast by the grooves.

Anthracite Grey Woodgrain Fencing

If you want a dark contemporary colour without losing the character of timber, woodgrain fencing is the clear choice. The embossed pattern introduces texture across the surface, breaking up what would otherwise be a massive, flat block of dark grey. It looks distinctively modern, but retains the natural feel of real wood.

Anthracite Grey Slatted Fencing

For a highly architectural finish, we offer anthracite within our slatted fencing range. Slatted designs naturally look modern; combining them with a dark charcoal finish pushes the boundary further into contemporary territory. This pairs exceptionally well with clean lines, porcelain paving, and modern outdoor furniture.

Matching Fencing with Windows and Doors

Customers consistently tell us they choose anthracite fencing to coordinate with the exterior of their property.

Carrying the colour of your window frames and bi-fold doors into the garden connects the landscaping with the house. If you’re planning to carry the same anthracite grey tones through the rest of your garden, anthracite composite decking can be paired with your fencing to create a coordinated finish. However, we urge caution when trying to achieve a 100% exact colour match.

An anthracite composite fence will not look completely identical to a powder-coated anthracite aluminium door frame. The different materials, textures, and lighting conditions will make them look slightly different. If matching is your primary goal, hold a fencing sample directly against your door frame in natural daylight.

Please Note:

Order Your Free Samples: We highly recommend ordering our free samples to confirm the colours before placing an order, as digital photos can vary significantly between screens.

Kit Setup: Our kits are based on having existing concrete posts and a 300 mm gravel board. Example: 6 ft fence boards cover 1.5 m, and the existing gravel board provides the remaining 300 mm, creating a finished 6 ft result.

Fence Slats: Fence boards are 1.83 m in length to ensure all existing concrete post widths are covered. Cutting may be required to fit on occasion.
