Fence Panels

Timber Fence Panels for Privacy, Boundaries & Garden Projects

Rose Building Supplies supplies timber fence panels for new garden boundaries, privacy fencing, replacement panels and landscaping projects. Our range includes closeboard, lap, picket and contemporary slatted fence panels in a selection of heights and styles.

Many of our timber panels are pressure treated to help protect the timber for outdoor use, with popular sizes including 6x6ft, 6x5ft and lower-height panels for front gardens and decorative boundaries.

Which Type of Fence Panel Should You Choose?

The best fence panel depends on how much privacy you need, the style of your garden and whether you are replacing an existing panel or installing a complete new fence run.

• Closeboard fence panels provide a strong, solid boundary and are a popular choice where privacy and durability are important.
• Lap fence panels offer a traditional appearance and are commonly used for garden boundaries and replacement fencing.
• Picket fence panels create a more open decorative boundary and are well suited to front gardens, paths and lower-level fencing.
• Slatted fence panels provide a more contemporary look and can be used for modern garden boundaries and screening.

Closeboard vs Lap Fence Panels

Closeboard panels are generally constructed with overlapping vertical boards and a substantial supporting frame, giving them a solid appearance and good privacy.

Lap panels use overlapping horizontal timber boards and provide a traditional, cost-effective garden fencing option.

The right choice depends on the appearance you prefer, the level of privacy required and your budget.

What Size Fence Panel Do You Need?

Common fence panel widths are around 1.8m or 6ft, with different heights available depending on the project.

Popular options include 6x6ft, 6x5ft, 6x4ft and 6x3ft panels, along with lower decorative picket panels. Before ordering, measure the opening between posts and check the exact panel dimensions on the product page.

Nominal imperial sizes and actual metric dimensions can differ slightly, so always use the listed product dimensions when replacing an existing panel.

Pressure-Treated Timber Fence Panels

Many timber fence panels in our range are pressure treated to help protect against decay and improve durability outdoors.

Pressure treatment reduces the need for immediate preservative treatment, although applying a suitable fence treatment or woodcare product later can help maintain the appearance of the timber.

What Do You Need to Install Fence Panels?

A typical fence-panel installation may require:

• Fence panels
• Timber posts or concrete posts
• Gravel boards
• Post fix or suitable post supports
• Suitable clips, screws or other fencing fixings

The exact materials depend on the post type, ground conditions, fence height and installation method.

Timber Posts or Concrete Posts?

Timber fence posts give a traditional appearance and work well with timber panels, while concrete posts provide a durable alternative that can be used with suitable panels and gravel boards.

Concrete gravel boards also help keep timber fence panels away from direct ground contact, reducing prolonged exposure to moisture.

Replacing a Damaged Fence Panel

If an existing fence panel has been damaged by age, weather or strong winds, measure the gap between the existing posts before ordering a replacement.

Check the posts and gravel boards at the same time. Replacing a panel without addressing a loose, damaged or leaning post may only provide a short-term repair.

Preparing Fencing for Autumn & Winter

Autumn is a useful time to inspect garden fencing before stronger winter winds and wetter weather arrive.

Look for loose panels, damaged boards, movement around posts and timber that is sitting directly against damp ground. Replacing weakened panels, securing posts and using gravel boards where appropriate can help keep the boundary in better condition through the colder months.
