Slatted Panel: A Modern Addition to Our Fencing Range

If you’re considering a garden makeover, the Slatted Panel from Empress Fencing Clitheroe offers a stylish, contemporary touch that can transform your outdoor space. Crafted from timber softwood and treated for durability, this slatted panel combines practicality with visual appeal, making it a standout choice for modern landscapes.

Introduction to the Slatted Panel

The Slatted Panel is designed to provide a fresh aesthetic for fencing projects. Its clean lines and evenly spaced slats create a sense of openness while still offering privacy where you want it. As part of our fencing range at Empress Fencing Clitheroe, this panel brings a contemporary vibe without sacrificing the robustness you need for outdoor use.

Key features:

• Timber softwood construction
• Pressure-treated for extended life
• Available in multiple heights to suit different boundary needs
• 1.8m wide panels for wide spans
• Height options: 0.6m, 0.9m, or 1.5m

With these specifications, the Slatted Panel is adaptable to a variety of garden layouts, from compact city plots to more expansive backyards.

Material and Durability: Why Softwood and Pressure-Treated

The choice of timber softwood for the Slatted Panel balances strength, weight, and workability. Softwood panels are easier to install and handle, which can simplify your fencing project, especially if you’re doing a DIY installation.

Pressure treatment is a crucial factor in the panel’s longevity. This process helps protect the timber from rot, decay, and insect damage, ensuring that your fence remains stable and attractive for many seasons. When you invest in a Slatted Panel from Empress Fencing Clitheroe, you’re opting for a product designed to withstand the British weather, maintaining its appearance with minimal maintenance.

Size Options and What They Mean for Your Space

The Slatted Panel comes in a standard width of 1.8m, which is suitable for creating generous boundaries and straight edges along longer sections of fencing. Height options include:

• 0.6m: Ideal for low screens or edging along pathways
• 0.9m: A balanced height for a semi-private boundary without feeling boxed in
• 1.5m: Provides a higher level of privacy while still retaining the modern slatted aesthetic

Choosing the right height depends on your privacy needs, garden layout, and local planning considerations. If you’re unsure, a taller option can offer a more secluded feel, while the 0.6m and 0.9m heights work well for decorative boundaries or to define zones within a larger garden.

Aesthetics: Contemporary Feel for a Garden Makeover

One of the most compelling reasons to choose the Slatted Panel is its contemporary appearance. The evenly spaced slats create a streamlined silhouette that complements modern garden furniture, planting schemes, and hard landscaping. The timber’s natural warmth can be finished with clear or tinted sealants to enhance colour while still allowing the grain to show through.

This panel can be used as a stand-alone fence section, a feature among other fencing styles, or as a partition within a larger fencing scheme. Its clean lines pair well with metal, composite, or timber gate designs, enabling a cohesive overall look for your outdoor space.

Practical Considerations: Price and Availability

For the 0.9m height option, the price is £44 plus VAT, reflecting a balance between affordability and quality. While price points can vary with suppliers and promotions, the Slatted Panel offers a competitive option in the Empress Fencing Clitheroe range for customers seeking a modern upgrade.

When planning your purchase, consider the following:

• Quantity required for your boundary length
• Whether you need matching posts, rails, or a cap for a finished look
• The potential for additional treatments or sealants to extend longevity

Installation Tips: Getting It Right

To maximise the life and appearance of your Slatted Panel, follow these practical steps:

• Prepare a level, compacted trench or soil bed for posts
• Use galvanized fixings to resist corrosion
• Ensure panels are aligned with the fence line and support posts
• Apply a suitable timber treatment or sealant after installation to preserve colour and protection

If you’re unsure about installation, consulting with Empress Fencing Clitheroe or a local fencing contractor can help you achieve a professional finish that stands the test of time.
