Panels

Residential style of fencing

Panels come in a variety of styles, but horizontal overlap is the most popular. We have been using locally made panels for many years and the quality is very good. The panels are dipped in treatment and under normal conditions a panel can be expected to last about ten years. Pressure treated panels are available on request, but they are more expensive.

Panels come in the following heights:-
1.80m - 6’0’’, 1.65m - 5’6’, 1.50m - 5’0’’, 1.40m - 4’6’’, 1.20m - 4’0’’, 1.05m - 3’6’’
0.90m - 3’0’’, 0.75m - 2’6’’, 0.60m - 2’0’’, 0.45m - 1’6’, 0.30m - 1’0’’

Panels come in a standard width of 1.8m (6’), but if you need a panel of a smaller width, that’s no problem.

Panels are available on timber posts – normally we use 75 x 75mm (3 x 3’’) but 100 x 100mm (4 x 4’’) are available - or on slotted concrete posts. You can choose to have a gravel board and that can be either timber or concrete and comes in heights of 150mm (6’), 225mm (9") and 300mm (12").

Trellis can really make a panel look that bit more attractive and can increase the height of the fencing but without making it look too overpowering. Flat top, convex, concave, diamond, big squares or little squares, are all available - see our trellis page for more details.

And don’t forget, gates are available to match the fencing.

Close board panels are now becoming a very popular choice. Made 1.8m wide and a choice of heights, they are very strong and easy to install or replace on timber posts or slotted concrete posts. They are available with the option of gravel boards to the bottom and trellis to the top.
