Formerly known as Bosco WPC Composite Fence
VF-BSCWPC + aluminium hybrid fence for residential gardens, biophilic facades and warm-palette boundaries. The infill is 60 % wood fibre, 30 % HDPE and 10 % UV stabilisers, so the surface reads like timber but does not warp, rot or silver. Two profile widths — Standard 100 mm and Grande 200 mm — let you tune the rhythm from fine to bold. Five woodgrain finishes (Teak, Walnut, Oak, Anthracite Wood, Driftwood). Maintenance: rinse twice a year; colour-stability terms are confirmed by finish and exposure. A low-routine-care alternative to larch / cedar timber fencing and PVC fence systems.

Use this route when the boundary needs to work as an architectural system: privacy, gate integration, wind exposure and visual rhythm together.
Fence systems fit villas, residential boundaries and entrances where panels, gates and lighting should share one design language.
Define height, infill rhythm, post fixing, wind exposure, gate type and any access-control or lighting scope.
Specify the boundary as a system so the quote includes the parts that make the final installation coherent.
Use horizontal aluminium slats for the main modern boundary route.

Use these answers when comparing a warmer WPC and aluminium boundary route against all-aluminium privacy fences.
Bosco is used for privacy fence projects that need a warmer timber-like visual character while keeping the structure in the VisioMod aluminium boundary family.
Compare fence systems →Choose Bosco when the project wants a softer wood-effect boundary or garden-facing privacy layer; choose Lineo or Verto when a sharper all-aluminium expression is preferred.
Compare aluminium route →Confirm boundary length, privacy level, colour or wood-effect target, post and foundation route, gate pairing, wind exposure and maintenance expectations.
Review Bosco project →TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSSpecified for private gardens where the client wants the visual softness of wood against planting beds, lawn edges, and terrace zones. Bosco delivers the organic register without the staining cycle that drives most residential timber fences toward neglect by year five.
The 100 mm Standard profile reads as a refined garden screen; the 200 mm Grande profile suits larger plot boundaries where horizontal mass is welcome.
Around pool decks the barefoot register matters: aluminium and steel read as cold, glass reads as exposing. Bosco creates a warm tactile boundary that shrugs off chlorinated splash and humid microclimate without warping. At dusk, low-level garden uplights grazing the post base and the optional Modulo Light vertical strip wash the WPC face with a warm 2700 K glow — the textured woodgrain takes the light evenly, producing ambient depth without glare.
The HDPE matrix prevents moisture absorption that would destroy a solid timber screen in the same position within three to five seasons. Pair with post-base uplights or the integrated Modulo Light strip for complete evening ambience.
Where the landscape brief requires the perimeter to participate in the evening lighting composition — particularly at terraces, garden lounges, and dining zones — the Modulo Light option integrates 24 V DC LED strips into the aluminium post profile. The WPC slat face receives a side-grazing wash that accentuates the woodgrain texture and anchors the boundary visually at night.
IP68 emitters and IP67 driver make the system fully weatherproof. RF, Zigbee, and Matter compatibility enables integration with whole-home or landscape lighting control. Specify CRI ≥ 90 at 2700 K for the warmest evening register.
Where the architectural brief calls for natural-material continuity between facade cladding and perimeter, Bosco extends the timber language of the building envelope outward. Anthracite aluminium posts align with dark window frames and roof fascia; the WPC slat register unifies terrace, boundary, and cladding into a single material vocabulary.
Pair with WPC or thermo-treated timber rainscreen cladding to maintain coherence across building and boundary, without forcing the perimeter to inherit the maintenance regime of solid hardwood.
Where a low concrete retaining wall creates a level-change boundary between garden zones or a garden and a neighbour's lower plot, Bosco posts are anchored directly into the retaining wall crown rather than into virgin ground. This creates a continuous material plane — concrete base, planted slope, WPC fence — and allows the boundary to occupy a structurally defined position rather than requiring an additional freestanding footing at the terrace edge.
Specify post anchor plates rated to ETAG 001 pull-out requirements for the concrete grade used in the retaining wall. Allow for dynamic load from soil lateral pressure on the retained face; consult DIN EN 1997 frost-zone provisions if the retaining wall is exposed to freeze-thaw cycling.

Why VisioMod
Solid timber screens deliver authentic grain but require annual oiling or staining to retain colour and resist surface checking. Bosco produces an equivalent warm visual register with a 10-year colour stability warranty, no refinishing cycle, and an aluminium frame that does not rot at the post-base interface. Over a 15-year project horizon, Bosco's total cost of ownership is typically lower when maintenance labour is costed honestly.
Pros
Cons
Why VisioMod
PVC panel systems offer low maintenance but read as plastic and lack genuine woodgrain depth. Bosco's WPC infill carries real wood fibre at 60 % of mass, producing authentic grain texture and matte tonal variation, while the aluminium frame eliminates the characteristic PVC sag across longer spans. Where architectural quality matters to the client, the visual register difference is decisive.
Pros
Cons
Why VisioMod
Frameless WPC fence systems suffer dimensional instability across the 2000 mm span typical of perimeter work. The Bosco aluminium frame absorbs structural duty entirely, allowing the WPC to function purely as cladding with engineered expansion clearance maintained at every slat end. The result is a panel that remains planar and correctly spaced through summer heat cycles that would bow a frameless system.
Woodgrain pairing strategy follows facade tonality rather than personal preference. Anthracite metal cladding or dark zinc-effect facades pair with Teak Bosco — the warm orange-brown register reads against the cool dark mass and prevents the perimeter from disappearing visually. White render or chalk-toned facades pair with Driftwood Bosco, where the silvered grey register offers contrast without aggression and reads as a considered neutral. Exposed brick or terracotta facades pair with Walnut Bosco, where deep brown undertones harmonise with the masonry palette without repeating it. Anthracite Wood operates as a graphic frame against pale natural stone, and Oak serves as a default warm-neutral for mixed material contexts. Over a 10-year horizon, Bosco holds its tonal register where solid timber would have silvered to uniform grey and PVC would have chalked. The 10-year colour stability warranty provides the specifier with documentary evidence for the client that finish performance is a guaranteed deliverable rather than a maintenance aspiration. At view zones — pool edges, terrace overlooks, garden axes — pair Bosco with Cristallo frameless glass panels: Bosco contributes warmth and visual mass to closed boundaries, Cristallo opens the view selectively. The aluminium post profile is dimensionally compatible between series, ensuring a clean junction at the Bosco-to-Cristallo transition without a change in post geometry. For projects incorporating the Modulo Light LED program, the post section hosts the LED driver and strip within the aluminium extrusion cavity, leaving no surface-mounted hardware visible on the fence face. The 24 V DC SELV system operates within standard residential electrical zone classifications; in most European jurisdictions the low-voltage nature removes the requirement for a licensed electrician for the DC side of the installation, though the 230 V transformer supply must be installed by a qualified person. Specify the luminaire CRI and colour temperature at the same stage as the WPC finish: 2700 K with Walnut or Teak for the warmest evening register; 3000 K with Oak or Driftwood for a crisper, more contemporary night-time reading; 4000 K reserved for commercial or high-security perimeter contexts where task lighting rather than ambience is the priority. Coordination with the structural engineer is required where Bosco posts are anchored into an existing retaining wall: the anchor specification must comply with ETAG 001 pull-out values for the concrete grade in use, and the post must be confirmed as adequate to resist combined wind load per EN 1991-1-4 and the lateral retained-soil load acting simultaneously at the wall crown. On sites within frost zones, foundation depth must comply with DIN EN 1997 provisions to prevent heave-driven post displacement.
Foundation requirements for standard Bosco installations are lighter than those for solid-infill systems owing to the reduced wind-catch surface of the slat geometry. Typical specification is a 400–500 mm deep concrete footing at 2000 mm post centres, sized per the local wind exposure class and confirmed against EN 1991-1-4 wind load parameters. For coastal sites where aluminium is exposed to marine atmosphere, specify Qualimarine pre-treatment on the powder-coat preparation in addition to Qualicoat Class 2 certification on the topcoat. WPC slats require an engineered expansion gap at slat-end terminations to accommodate thermal movement across the diurnal and seasonal cycle — typically 3–5 mm per linear metre of slat run. The factory-engineered frame-to-WPC engagement clip system handles this automatically; site-cut slat adjustments must preserve the gap. Never butt-join slat ends tightly into post channels — thermal expansion will cause bowing within the first summer cycle. For retaining-wall crown installations (as shown in the gallery's lavender-border dining terrace image): anchor plates must be specified to ETAG 001 pull-out requirements for the concrete grade of the retaining wall. Do not use standard ground-spike anchors in retained-soil situations; the combined wind and lateral soil load acting at the post base requires a plate-anchor or through-bolt solution confirmed by structural calculation. Check that the retaining wall crown width is sufficient to locate the post centreline without undermining the wall's effective section. Gate post integration uses reinforced 50 × 50 mm aluminium posts with a hinge-side reinforcement plate; specify gate posts at order stage rather than substituting standard line posts on site. Always set the frame plumb before WPC slat insertion — adjustment after infill is restricted. On sloping sites, raked or stepped panel configurations are both achievable; stepped panels maintain the horizontal slat geometry and are generally preferred by specifiers where the gradient is gentle enough to allow it.
Family residence perimeter combining street boundary with rear garden view zone overlooking a wooded valley. Client required coherent material language between the villa's anthracite window frames and the boundary treatment.
Specification: Bosco Standard 100 mm in Oak finish along the street boundary; Cristallo frameless glass at the rear garden view zone. Aluminium frames in matching anthracite powder-coat. Modulo Light 2700 K strip specified at the street boundary posts for evening street presence.
Outcome: Coherent material reading from street to garden rear; warm Oak softens the urban frontage while glass preserves the valley view. Evening LED strip produces a warm amber wash on the street elevation without light pollution spillage onto the public pavement.
Salt-exposed second-line coastal property with chlorinated pool and Provençal stone hardscape. Client rejected solid timber on maintenance grounds and aluminium screens on warmth grounds.
Specification: Bosco Grande 200 mm in Driftwood finish for pool enclosure and seaward boundary. Aluminium frames with Qualimarine pre-treatment and Qualicoat Class 2 powder-coat. Post-base garden uplights grazing the WPC face at the pool deck perimeter.
Outcome: Selected for chloride and salt-air resistance; Driftwood register harmonises with the bleached Provençal palette and stone hardscape. Evening uplights create the warm ambient atmosphere visible in poolside gallery imagery.
Split-level suburban garden where a 600 mm poured-concrete retaining wall defines the upper dining terrace. Client required the boundary fence to mount directly on the retaining wall crown to avoid a second footing at the terrace edge, and preferred a warm material against the planted lower slope.
Specification: Bosco Standard 100 mm in Walnut finish on ETAG 001-compliant anchor plates cast into the retaining wall crown. Posts at 1800 mm centres to suit the wall geometry. Anthracite aluminium frame matching the contemporary house joinery. Lavender and herb border planted on the lower slope face.
Outcome: Clean single-element transition from retaining wall to boundary fence; Walnut WPC against the planted slope and contemporary house produces a cohesive domestic landscape. Installation confirmed clear of DIN EN 1997 frost-zone requirements for the anchor depth achieved.
Specified for private gardens where the client wants the visual softness of wood against planting beds, lawn edges, and terrace zones. Bosco delivers the organic register without the staining cycle that drives most residential timber fences toward neglect by year five.
