In the evolving landscape of modern construction and home improvement, Forestar Outdoor has emerged as a global leader in the design, development, and manufacture of premium Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) products. Established in 2008, the company has spent nearly two decades transforming outdoor living spaces, combining the timeless aesthetic appeal of natural wood with the unparalleled durability and sustainability of cutting-edge composite technology. With a footprint spanning over 45 countries and more than one million homes successfully transformed, Forestar stands as a benchmark for quality, innovation, and environmental stewardship in the building materials industry.
At the core of Forestar’s success is an unwavering commitment to sustainability. Recognizing the urgent need for eco-conscious building materials, the company utilizes up to 90% recycled content in its manufacturing processes. By repurposing waste materials into high-performance products, Forestar not only helps reduce landfill waste but also provides a superior alternative to traditional lumber. Unlike natural wood, which requires constant maintenance, including seasonal painting, sealing, and staining, Forestar’s composite solutions are engineered to withstand the harshest environmental conditions. Its products are meticulously crafted to resist rot, splintering, cracking, fading, and staining, ensuring that outdoor structures remain as vibrant and structurally sound years after installation as they were on the first day.
Forestar’s extensive product portfolio is designed to meet the diverse needs of homeowners, contractors, and architects alike. The company specializes in four primary categories: Composite Deck Boards, Cladding, Fencing, and Garden Sheds. Each line represents a synergy of form and function. Forestar’s decking, for instance, features industry-leading proprietary technology that provides a cooler touch and superior fire resistance, making it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial projects. The aesthetic versatility offered by Forestar is unmatched; the company provides an extensive array of colors and textures that mimic the look and feel of real wood, allowing for complete design freedom without the associated environmental footprint or maintenance burdens.
Beyond its physical products, Forestar is dedicated to empowering its clients through education and support. The company’s digital resources—including installation guides, how-to videos, and detailed FAQs—provide invaluable assistance for DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike. By offering a transparent look into the advantages of WPC over traditional wood, Forestar helps stakeholders make informed decisions that favor long-term value and durability.
Driven by a planet-first philosophy, Forestar continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in outdoor design. As the industry moves toward greener building practices, Forestar is at the forefront, proving that luxury, performance, and environmental responsibility can—and should—coexist. Whether it is transforming a small backyard patio or executing a large-scale commercial project, Forestar Outdoor provides the materials and the expertise to create lasting, beautiful, and sustainable outdoor environments.
As Sweden advances its aggressive circular economy goals and zero-carbon building frameworks, the demand for composite fencing and exterior cladding has experienced unprecedented growth across Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, and Uppsala.
Engineered to handle severe ground frost heave, heavy snow blankets, and rapid seasonal temperature fluctuations without warping or micro-fracturing.
Eliminates the expensive labor and toxic chemical oils required annually for softwoods (furu) in Sweden, offering over 25 years of pristine performance.
Complies with Swedish green building certifications like Miljöbyggnad, BREEAM-SE, and SundaHus through high recycled contents and non-toxic polymers.
Curated color palettes matching Nordic trends: Anthracite Charcoal, Warm Teak, Scandinavian Oak, and classic Falu Red architectural accents.
Traditionally, Swedish homeowners and property managers relied heavily on pressure-treated pine (tryckimpregnerat virke) for boundary fencing and privacy barriers. However, rising labor costs across Sweden and stringent European Union directives regarding chemical leaching into groundwater have prompted architects and general contractors (byggföretag) to shift toward eco-engineered composite solutions.
Modern residential expansions, particularly in peri-urban areas around Greater Stockholm (Storstockholm) and Skåne County, emphasize sustainable boundary fencing that delivers acoustic dampening, total wind blockage, and high aesthetic value without periodic maintenance intervals.
In Sweden's coastal and northern regions, exterior structures are exposed to rigorous meteorological stress. Forestar Wood-Plastic Composite Fence systems are engineered with fortified aluminum internal posts, deep post-anchoring bases, and reinforced interlock channels capable of resisting gale-force winds up to Beaufort scale 10 and high snow drift pressures.
Our co-extruded protective shield ensures that moisture from snowmelt does not penetrate the core matrix, preventing the common fungal decay and freeze expansion that rapidly destroys conventional timber enclosures in Scandinavia.
From private archipelago villas to high-density municipal green spaces, Forestar WPC fencing delivers tailored performance across diverse Scandinavian environments.
Villas and holiday homes situated near the Baltic Sea face continuous saline mist, extreme humidity, and high UV reflection. Forestar capped composite fence panels provide 100% moisture barrier protection, preventing salt corrosion and splintering.
High-density residential rows require maximum privacy and acoustic dampening from adjacent traffic. Our tongue-and-groove privacy fencing with hidden fasteners creates a solid acoustic and visual buffer for suburban tranquility.
Logistics facilities in Jönköping and Örebro demand durable perimeter security screens that look sleek for corporate branding while enduring heavy vehicle exhaust, road salt spray, and zero regular groundskeeping.
Rustic hospitality retreats require products that mirror organic timber without degrading in heavy damp forest soils. Our natural wood-grain embossed profiles blend seamlessly with pristine Swedish nature.
Swedish BRFs benefit from communal fencing solutions that eliminate recurring maintenance levies. Standardized modular composite kits allow cost-efficient communal boundary enclosures with rapid DIY or contractor installation.
Zero-emission residential projects prioritize sustainable lifecycle assessments (LCA). With 90% recycled ingredients and complete end-of-life recyclability, Forestar WPC profiles maximize overall green building scores.
The core vulnerability of generic composite fencing in Nordic territories is rapid temperature fluctuation—ranging from -30°C in winter to +30°C in summer. Forestar solves this challenge through our proprietary dual-screw co-extrusion technology.
Our outer shield encapsulates the high-density wood fiber and recycled polymer matrix on all four sides. This hermetic barrier incorporates UV stabilizers, antioxidant polymers, and anti-fungal agents, shielding the interior from moisture intake and solar thermal fading.
Furthermore, our tongue-and-groove fence panel channels feature built-in micro thermal-expansion gaps. This ensures that even during rapid seasonal shifts, the fence panels expand and contract linearly within the hidden aluminum upright posts without buckling or pulling free from fastening points.
