Slatted Fence Panels: These panels are ideal for those wanting a contemporary fence. The wood is placed horizontally with small gaps in between. This gives you some privacy but also allows the light in. The wood is smooth for a contemporary finish. The panel can be stained or painted dark to give a dramatic effect.

Venetian Fence Panels: The horizontal panels have a slight gap between them. This allows light to shine through, so the garden doesn’t feel too closed in. You get less privacy but more light.

Woven Fence Panels: As the name implies, these panels have a horizontal interwoven effect. The panels let light through, so they are less private but very attractive. They are less sturdy than the closeboard type fencing.

Picket Fence Panels: This fence is made from spaced uprights connected to horizontal rails. Different variations are available, including a crescent top that dips in the middle. These are typical front garden fences with a cottage feel.

Trellis Panels: If you require screening in your garden rather than a traditional fence panel, consider using a trellis. This is ideal if you wish to grow climbing plants for decoration. You can also use trellis panels on top of low brick walls to provide additional screening for your garden.

Fence Panel Tops: Fence panels can be finished with a trellis. Some have a straight edge, while others are concave or convex designs. Concave features a curved dip at the top, and convex has a prominent curved top.

Fence Posts: An essential part of the construction is the type of fence posts used when building a fence. This varies according to the panels, the condition of the ground and the appearance. Posts are usually made of wood or concrete and sometimes made from metal. Concrete posts will last longer and are more sturdy, so they are ideal for heavy panels. Wood posts will require some maintenance in the future.
