What is a lap fence panel?

What are the dimensions of this panel?

This panel measures 1829mm x 1829mm (6ft x 6ft), the standard size for garden boundary fencing.

What is the panel made from?

The panel is made from treated timber to enhance resistance against rot and damp. This increases the lifespan of the panel in outdoor conditions.

How durable is this fencing?

Thanks to its dip treatment and framed construction, the panel is designed to withstand the elements, providing long-lasting durability for garden boundaries.

Does the panel provide privacy?

Yes, the waney edge overlapping design ensures excellent privacy and security, while also giving a rustic & natural appearance.

What additional design features does it include?

The panel has a machined capping rail with bevelled edges for a neat finish, five support battens front and back for strength and 50mm top and bottom rails for extra stability.

How are the panels assembled?

The panels are put together with annular ring shank coated nails, which hold the boards firmly in place for a long-lasting, secure structure.

Can these panels be used for newbuild properties?

How easy is it to install the panels?

Installing the panels is very easy. They are designed for straightforward installation, making them suitable for DIY garden improvement projects as well as professional landscaping.

Do I need to treat the panels again after purchase?

The panels are dip treated, so they have protection against damp and rot. However, applying an additional wood preservative or stain every couple of years can help extend their lifespan further.

What kind of maintenance is required?

Minimal maintenance is needed for the panels beyond periodic treatment or staining and checking the panels for damage after storms or high winds.

Are lap panels suitable for windy areas?

Lap panels are strong and stable but for very exposed sites, you may want to add gravel boards or additional posts for reinforcement.
