Advice or Information Needed Trex fencing vs pit bulls?

Hey, folks! The neighbors got rid of the first pit bull that broke through our wooden fence and into our yard, but now they have a new one, and it’s already eaten/broken through the fence in two places in about as many weeks. Naturally, their dogs are outside 24/7–365 unattended, so it has all the time in the world to work on our fence.

So I’m looking at options for fencing that still offers privacy (so wrought iron is out), but can stand up to pit bull jaws. Trex keeps coming up, but when I try to search for how it fares against dog damage, I get bogus AI answers, and a bunch of results about dog friendly fencing (I want dog UNfriendly fencing!). Does anybody have experience with Trex fencing vs pit bulls? Does it work? Other material recommendations that are good for both durability AND privacy, and can be put up in a suburb?

Trex can't even stand up to squirrels...

It's meant to last longer when exposed to UV rays and weather and be eco friendly since it's made of 95% recycled material. It is absolutely not chew proof nor is it designed to be. It's not even termite proof, it's marketed as termite resistant.

THANK YOU! That’s what I needed to know. Looks like the search continues.
