Are outdoor wood plastic gates good? Classification, beautiful models and quotes
Outdoor wood plastic gate is a gate system made from wood plastic composite (WPC) material combined with a galvanized or stainless steel box iron frame. The product has the advantage of good weather resistance, is termite-free, maintains stable color for 10-20 years and has a low expansion rate of less than 10%, ensuring long-term aesthetics for the project.
Wood plastic gates are divided into 4 main types according to shape including panels (flat or corrugated profiles), slats (long bars with steel cores), floor bars (hollow bars with good load-bearing capacity) and multi-purpose bars (flat profiles without locking grooves).
According to the surface, there are 3 main types: 1-layer plastic wood (10-year lifespan, 10-20% color reduction in the first 3 months), ASA plastic wood (15-year lifespan, 10% color reduction after 5 years) and Polymer plastic wood (20-year lifespan, stable color throughout the time of use).
Updated September 2025, the price of wood plastic materials ranges from 449.000 - 1.189.000 VND/m² depending on the type, the frame is 160.000 - 750.000 VND/bar, installation labor is 300.000 - 600.000 VND/m², with a total estimated cost of about 1.389.000 - 1.909.000 VND/m². The market currently has a variety of designs from 1-wing, 2-wing, 4-wing to sliding gates, suitable for many architectural styles from modern to classic.

“Single-layer composite wood contains 55-60% natural wood powder and 30-35% HDPE plastic and 10 additives, with a bending strength of 34,7 MPa and water absorption of less than 2% after 24 hours of immersion in water, meeting TCVN standards for outdoor materials.” according to architect Nguyen Hoang Manh - Vietnam Association of Architects (2024).
What is outdoor wood plastic gate?
Outdoor wood plastic gates include a solid gate system, created from a combination of wood plastic composite (WPC) material and a galvanized or stainless steel box iron frame.
Outdoor wood plastic gates have the same color and design as real wood but are weather resistant, do not require regular maintenance and are easy to clean. In particular, outdoor wood plastic gates are not attacked by termites and can keep their color stable for 10-20 years depending on the product type.
The expansion rate of wood plastic gates is quite low, usually less than 10% when the temperature changes, ensuring that the gate is limited from deformation or warping under the impact of heat or humidity, maintaining the structural stability and aesthetics of the project.
