The Appeal of Horizontal Slatted Fence Panels
Are you tired of your old garden boundary? The traditional vertical fence, while reliable, can feel dated, especially as it weathers and ages. For a contemporary look that instantly elevates your property's exterior, explore our horizontal slatted fence panels.
This fencing choice is growing increasingly popular, and offers a clean, architectural aesthetic combined with practical benefits that make it a smart investment for your home.
The Horizontal Slat Design
What makes a horizontal slatted fence so appealing? Unlike a vertical fence that breaks up a fence view, the sleek, running lines of horizontal slat fence panels draw your eyes along your property line, creating an illusion of greater length and width on your property. This effect is beneficial in smaller, more compact outdoor spaces, making your garden feel more open and expansive. It’s a minimalist style that perfectly complements modern and mid-century properties, providing a streamlined backdrop.
Privacy, Customisation, and Durability
One of the key advantages of choosing horizontal slatted fence panels is their high degree of design flexibility. You can customise the look of your horizontal slatted fencing to meet your specific choice of both privacy and light:
For Maximum Privacy: Use tightly-spaced slats, sometimes with a backing screen or membrane, to create a solid visual barrier that blocks unwanted views from neighbours or the street.
Semi-Private Screening: A slight gap between the slats allows dappled light and air to pass through, giving you a sense of enclosure without feeling completely cut off. A 'slatted screen' look is both stylish and modern.
Beyond style, our slatted panels are built for longevity. While any wood fence requires maintenance, our high-quality pressure-treated softwood offers long-lasting durability, favoured for horizontal designs. Furthermore, the ends of horizontal boards are naturally less exposed to standing water than vertical pickets, which can slow down deterioration in standard wooden fencing
Material Choices for Your Horizontal Slat Fences
The look of your horizontal fence is largely defined by the material you choose. Our softwood timber offers an organic feel and is suitable for both painting and staining to achieve your desired finish.
If you are ready to transform your garden boundary, then investing in horizontal slatted fence panels is the perfect way to combine cutting-edge design with lasting functionality, ensuring your outdoor space is as stylish as your home.
