FAQs

What is the exact width and height of this fence panel?

The panel dimensions are 6ft (183cm) Wide x 4ft (120cm) High.

What is the purpose of the capping rail?

The capping rail is installed on top of the panel to provide a neat, flat finish and to protect the end grain of the wood from water ingress, helping to prevent rot.

Why are there green flecks on the wood?

The green flecks are a visual indicator of the Tanalith E pressure treatment used to protect the wood against rot and insect attack. These flecks will naturally disappear as the wood weathers.

Can I paint or stain the fence panel immediately after installation?

No, it is recommended to wait for 6-8 weeks after installation to allow the pressure treatment to dry completely. Painting too soon can lead to peeling or flaking.

What does 'feather edge' mean?

Feather edge refers to the shape of the boards used. Each board is tapered or 'feathered' at the edge, allowing them to overlap and create a dense, closeboard effect with minimal gaps.

How is the panel braced?

The panel uses a semi-braced horizontal frame constructed from 34mm x 45mm smooth-planed timber. This provides a strong structure while keeping the panel relatively lightweight.

Will the panel's size change in different weather?

Yes, timber is a natural material that expands and contracts with changes in temperature and humidity. Some dimensional variation should be expected.

Troubleshooting

Green flecks visible on the wood.

This is a normal sign of the pressure treatment (Tanalith E) and will fade over time as the wood weathers. It does not affect the integrity of the wood.

Panel dimensions seem slightly off.

Wood naturally expands and contracts with changes in weather and humidity. Minor dimensional variations are expected and do not typically impact functionality.

Panel is leaning or unstable.

Ensure that the fence posts are securely installed and plumb. Check that the panel is adequately fastened to the posts with appropriate fixings.

Wood appears to be absorbing water at the base.

Ensure there is a small gap between the panel and the ground. Consider installing a gravel board at the base for further protection.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable construction with pressure-treated timber.
  • Classic design complements various garden styles.
  • Includes a capping rail for added protection and a neat finish.
  • Semi-braced frame offers a balance of strength and lighter weight.

Cons

  • Wood naturally expands and contracts, leading to some dimensional variation.
  • Green flecks from pressure treatment may be visible initially.
  • Requires a waiting period before painting to allow treatment to dry.
  • Requires sturdy posts and fixings for secure installation (not included).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Post Installation: Securely install robust fence posts (e.g., timber or concrete) at the desired spacing, ensuring they are plumb and stable. The panel itself is 6ft wide; account for post thickness when determining spacing.
  2. Panel Attachment: Position the fence panel between the posts. Use appropriate brackets, screws, or nails to securely fasten the panel to the posts, ensuring it is level.
  3. Ground Clearance: Ensure a small gap between the bottom of the panel and the ground to prevent excessive moisture absorption and rot.

Compatibility:

This panel is designed to be compatible with standard fence post systems. It can be used to replace existing damaged panels or to construct new fence lines. Consider using gravel boards at the base for added protection against ground moisture.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the panel with mild soap and water using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Treatment Drying: Allow the pressure treatment to fully dry (approximately 6-8 weeks) before applying any paint, stain, or sealant. This allows the treatment to fully cure and prevents the finish from peeling or flaking.
  • Maintenance: Periodically inspect the panel for any signs of wear, damage, or rot, especially at the base. Reapply a suitable wood treatment or preservative every few years as needed to maintain its condition and appearance.
