Product Information

Full details

The Forest Garden Contemporary Slatted Fence Panel is an ideal solution for homeowners looking to modernize their garden boundaries or create private zones without sacrificing airflow and natural light. These pressure-treated timber panels offer a sophisticated anthracite grey finish that serves as both a stylish aesthetic upgrade and a durable physical barrier. While they provide excellent versatility for screening or partitioning, potential users should note that the slatted design offers partial rather than full privacy, making them better suited for defining spaces than for complete visual seclusion.

FAQs

Can I paint these panels a different color?

Yes, once the initial factory finish has weathered slightly or been cleaned, you can paint over them with high-quality outdoor wood paint.

Are these panels suitable for high-wind areas?

Yes, the slatted design is specifically beneficial for windy locations as it allows air to pass through rather than creating a solid wall that catches the wind.

How many panels are included in the pack?

This pack contains three panels.

Does the panel come with posts?

No, the panels are sold separately from the fence posts and fixing hardware.

Is the 10-year guarantee valid if I paint them?

Yes, provided you use appropriate wood protection products that do not compromise the integrity of the pressure-treated timber.

How should I clean the panels?

Use a soft brush and water to remove dirt or algae; avoid using high-pressure power washers as they can damage the wood fibers.

Troubleshooting

Panel appears slightly warped after installation

Timber is a natural material and can expand or contract with moisture; ensure the panel is securely fixed to posts to help it remain flat as it settles.

Color fading after several years

UV exposure causes grey finishes to fade; apply a high-quality outdoor wood preservative or anthracite-colored garden paint every 3 years to restore the original hue.

Loose slats

Use exterior-grade stainless steel screws to re-secure any loose slats, ensuring they do not protrude on either side of the panel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Modern aesthetic that complements contemporary outdoor spaces
  • Pressure-treated for long-term weather and rot resistance
  • Allows airflow and light, reducing wind load on fence posts
  • Pack of three provides a cost-effective solution for multiple sections
  • Pre-finished in an attractive grey color to save installation time

Cons

  • Offers only partial privacy due to the gaps between slats
  • Requires maintenance repainting every three years to maintain the finish
  • Not intended for applications requiring total visual or sound blocking

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard fence posts and fixings compatible with timber panel mounting. Ensure that the panels are not resting directly on damp soil to maximize the lifespan of the wood, ideally using gravel boards or post-mounted elevated brackets. For care, keep the wood free of debris buildup at the base. While the pressure treatment protects the core of the timber, the surface finish should be refreshed every three years with an appropriate outdoor wood paint or stain to protect against UV damage and weathering.
