Key Features

Pre-Assembled Solid Panels: Supplied ready-made from sturdy interlocking timber boards, forming a strong, seamless barrier with no gaps.

Pressure-Treated Timber: Industrially treated with TANALITH preservative to guard against rot, fungal decay, and insect damage which is ideal for use in ground contact.

Built-In Gravel Board: An integrated timber gravel board at the base protects the main fence panel from moisture and decay by keeping it off the ground.

Consistent Dimensions: Panels are supplied in a standard width (1.829m / 6ft) with various height options for easy planning and installation.

Flexible Post Compatibility: Suitable for use with both traditional timber posts and slotted concrete posts for versatile installation.

Surface Incising: Ground-contact parts, such as posts and gravel boards, feature fine surface incisions to improve preservative penetration and extend durability.

Benefits

Effective Noise Reduction: Built with high-mass, solid construction to reflect sound and cut noise from traffic, neighbours, and commercial areas. Tested to BS EN 1793, it achieves a 25dB reduction with a top B3 rating.

Speed and Ease of Installation: With panels supplied pre-assembled, installation is quicker and easier than constructing a fence from separate parts, saving on labour costs and making it suitable for many DIY projects.

Excellent Durability & Long Lifespan: Its durable design and pressure treatment provide a long lifespan (around 15 years when correctly installed), helping protect your investment while reducing the need for repairs or replacements.

Low Maintenance: The preservative treatment safeguards the timber for years, eliminating the need for yearly staining or treatment required with untreated wood.

Installation 

These ready-assembled panels are designed for a straightforward installation with your choice of timber, concrete, or DuraPost® posts. Please note that all posts must be concreted into the ground. A site assessment is necessary to determine the correct product specifications for your project.

These panels can be painted with a breathable stain or paint. For a successful and durable installation, first clear the fence line of all vegetation. It is essential that the posts are set in well-drained ground, away from standing water, to achieve the full 15-year, maintenance-free design life of the barrier. Please be aware that a consultation with a structural engineer is required to ensure the fencing is appropriate for the wind loading conditions at your specific location.
