The Arranwood Feather Edge Timber Fence Slats are designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts seeking a durable, weather-resistant, and naturally aesthetic fencing solution for medium-height barriers and garden dividers. Their key benefit lies in the pressure-treated timber, offering protection against rot and decay for long-lasting use, though users should be aware that natural wood may require periodic maintenance to maintain its appearance.

These slats are designed for constructing medium-height privacy fences, garden dividers, and for use as decorative cladding on outdoor structures.
Yes, the slats are pressure-treated to protect against rot and decay, enhancing their durability for outdoor environments.
Install them with a consistent overlap, typically 20-30mm, ensuring each slat covers a portion of the one beneath it.
While the pressure treatment offers protection, applying an exterior wood stain or sealant is recommended to maintain appearance and add an extra layer of defense against weathering.
Basic tools such as a measuring tape, level, saw (if cuts are needed), drill or hammer, and weather-resistant screws or nails are typically required.
Each pack contains 10 timber fence slats.
These slats are best suited for medium-height fencing. For taller structures, additional support and potentially different materials might be necessary.
Ensure fence posts are plumb and rails are level. Adjust subsequent slats carefully, measuring the overlap consistently. Minor adjustments may be possible by slightly shifting the position of the fixing points.
Clean the slats thoroughly with a mild soap and water solution. Once dry, apply a quality exterior wood stain or sealant following the manufacturer's instructions.
If the wood is very dry or has been exposed for a long time, pre-drilling a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw diameter can help. Ensure you are using appropriate length and gauge fixings.
This is a natural characteristic of wood. For increased privacy, consider adjusting the overlap during installation or using a wider overlap. For existing installations, applying a sealant can help minimize further shrinkage.
Setup: To install, begin by setting sturdy fence posts. Attach horizontal rails between the posts at appropriate intervals for your desired fence height. Starting at one end, fix the first slat to the rails, ensuring it is plumb. Subsequent slats should overlap the previous one by approximately 20-30mm, depending on the desired level of privacy and aesthetic. Use weather-resistant screws or nails to secure each slat. Ensure consistent spacing and alignment for a uniform appearance.
Compatibility: These slats are designed for use with standard timber fencing posts and rails. They are compatible with most common DIY fencing systems. For best results, ensure your supporting structure is sound and level.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the slats, periodic cleaning is recommended. Brush off dirt and debris. Reapply a suitable exterior wood stain or sealant annually, or as needed, especially after harsh weather conditions. Check fixings regularly and tighten if necessary.
