FAQs

Can I paint these fence panels?

Yes, once the wood is fully dry, you can apply an exterior wood paint or stain to change the color or refresh the look.

Do I need to treat the cut ends of the wood?

Yes, if you trim the panel to fit a specific space, you must apply a clear wood preservative to the cut ends to prevent rot.

Are these panels suitable for high wind areas?

While durable, lap panels act as a solid wall against wind. Ensure they are securely fixed to substantial posts to prevent damage during storms.

What is the primary benefit of pressure-treated timber?

Pressure treatment forces preservatives deep into the wood fibers, offering much better protection against rot and fungal decay than surface-applied treatments.

Can one person install these panels?

Due to the size and weight of a 6-foot panel, it is strongly recommended that two people perform the installation to prevent injury or damage to the panel.

Troubleshooting

Panel does not fit into concrete posts

Check that your posts are perfectly plumb and spaced according to the specific width of the panel; minor adjustments to the post base may be necessary.

Signs of green or grey surface discoloration

This is often a natural reaction to weather on pressure-treated wood. Lightly sand the surface and re-apply a wood treatment or stain.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent privacy due to the 6-foot height
  • Pressure-treated for long-term durability
  • Overlapping design prevents water pooling
  • Compatible with both timber and concrete post systems

Cons

  • Requires two people for safe installation due to size and weight
  • Brown finish may require periodic staining for color retention
  • Not suitable for areas with extremely high gale-force winds

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your posts are set at the correct width to accommodate the panel's length. When using concrete slotted posts, simply lower the panel vertically into the grooves. For timber posts, use heavy-duty galvanized screws or nails to secure the panel frame directly to the posts. To ensure the longevity of your fence, it is recommended to apply a wood preservative or exterior-grade stain every 1-2 years. Avoid placing the bottom edge of the panel directly in contact with damp soil to prevent long-term ground moisture absorption; using a gravel board beneath the panel is highly recommended.
