No, these panels feature a slatted design with gaps, offering partial privacy rather than full seclusion.
Yes, you can paint or stain the panels to match your garden's aesthetic. Ensure you use a product suitable for exterior timber and follow application instructions.
The description mentions the panels are available in 4 heights, including 3ft (0.9m). The width is standard for a 3ft panel, typically around 6ft (1.8m) wide, but specific width should be confirmed with the retailer.
No, these panels can be used without gravel boards.
You can clean the panels with a soft brush and water. For maintenance, consider applying a wood preservative or stain annually.
Yes, the panels are manufactured from FSC certified timber, ensuring they come from responsibly managed forests.
Wood can naturally expand and contract with moisture. Allow time for the panel to acclimatize after installation. Ensure secure fixing to posts to maintain alignment.
Ensure you are using appropriate screws or brackets for outdoor timber use. Pre-drilling pilot holes can prevent splitting and improve fixing security.
Clean the affected area with mild soap and water. Apply a suitable wood preservative or stain, following the manufacturer's instructions, to protect the timber and restore appearance.
Measure and mark post positions carefully before installation. Use a spirit level to ensure posts are vertical and plumb for accurate panel alignment.
Setup:
These panels are designed to be installed using standard fencing posts (wooden or concrete). Ensure posts are securely set into the ground, at the appropriate depth, and spaced correctly to accommodate the panel width. The panels can then be fixed to the posts using suitable brackets or screws. They can be used with or without gravel boards at the base.
Compatibility:
The panels are compatible with most standard fence post systems and common garden hardware. Ensure any fixings used are weather-resistant.
Care:
While the pressure treatment provides excellent protection, occasional cleaning with a soft brush and water can help maintain the appearance. For prolonged protection against weathering and to enhance the colour, a suitable wood preservative or stain can be applied annually, especially if the panels are exposed to harsh elements. Always check the timber for any signs of wear or damage periodically.
