Long-term durability and sustainability are essential in modern construction and Fast Fence’s GreenHoard® system continues to demonstrate exactly why it’s the trusted choice for environmentally responsible site perimeters.
In July 2018, Fast Fence installed our GreenHoard® recycled plastic hoarding at a major development site in Brunswick Park, Manchester. Seven years later, our team returned to assess its performance, and the results speak for themselves. The system remains structurally sound, visually clean, and still reflects our client’s branding clearly.
A Real-World Test of Long-Term Durability
After seven years exposed to Manchester’s weather including wind, rain, UV, and low winter temperatures, the system remains remarkably intact.
✅ Outstanding Structural Performance
The GreenHoard® panels remain rigid and secure, with no rot, swelling, or distortion.
✅ Graphics That Have Stood the Test of Time
The client’s original graphics are still clearly visible. Despite years of exposure, the colours, branding, and messages remain impressively legible.
✅ Sustainable Materials That Last
Made from 100% recycled plastic and fully recyclable at the end of its life, GreenHoard® is an ideal solution for contractors seeking practical steps toward Net Zero.
Then & Now: Seven Years of Proven Value
7 Years Ago

The comparison highlights the minimal fading, strong structural condition, and overall longevity of the installation, reinforcing why contractors choose GreenHoard® for long-term or multi-phased developments.
Why GreenHoard® Was the Right Choice for Brunswick Park
Built for Long-Term Projects
Traditional timber hoarding often deteriorates within a few years. GreenHoard® avoids moisture absorption, rot, and warping, ideal for long-running regeneration schemes like Brunswick Park.
Reduced Maintenance Costs
The system has required virtually no repair or replacement over seven years, providing an impressive return on investment.
Supports Sustainable Construction
It contributes positively to waste reduction and circular construction practices and helps contractors demonstrate measurable environmental leadership.
Professional Site Appearance
Even after seven years, the hoarding still presents a tidy, branded perimeter, helping maintain a high-quality impression in a busy urban environment.
A Powerful Example of Longevity in Action
This Brunswick Park installation is a standout demonstration of GreenHoard®’s long-term viability. For contractors prioritising sustainability, durability, and lifecycle value, this project highlights exactly what GreenHoard® continues to deliver across the UK.
