These are timber fence slats that have undergone pressure treatment for enhanced durability and resistance to rot and insects.
It is recommended to let the slats acclimatize to your local environment for 24-48 hours before installation. No further treatment is typically required immediately, as they are pressure-treated.
Yes, the slats can be cut to size. However, it is important to treat any cut ends with a suitable wood preservative to maintain protection against rot and insects.
Due to pressure treatment, these slats offer long-lasting support and resistance to decay. Lifespan varies with environmental conditions, but they are designed for durability in outdoor settings.
Clean the slats periodically with a soft brush and mild soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washers.
While pressure-treated, coastal environments can be harsh. For optimal longevity in such areas, consider applying an additional protective sealant or stain designed for marine environments.
The feather edge design provides a good overlap between slats, offering enhanced protection against wind, rain, and gaps, thus improving privacy and weather resistance.
Allow slats to acclimatize to the environment for 24-48 hours before installation. Ensure they are securely fastened to the posts to straighten them during fitting. Minor warping may settle over time.
Ensure posts are plumb and correctly spaced. Minor adjustments can be made by slightly angling the fixing screws. Check that the feather edge profile is consistently aligned during installation.
While pressure-treated, extreme conditions may require additional protective treatment. Inspect cut ends or any damaged areas and apply a suitable wood preservative. Ensure good air circulation around the fence.
This is a natural characteristic of timber exposed to sunlight. Consider applying a UV-protective stain or treatment to refresh the color and add another layer of protection.
Setup: These fence slats are designed for straightforward installation. Ensure you have appropriate fencing posts and fixings suitable for timber construction. Measure and mark your fence line, then securely attach the slats to your posts using galvanized screws or nails, ensuring each slat overlaps the previous one correctly to achieve the feather edge effect. For best results, begin installation at one end and work your way across.
Compatibility: The slats are compatible with standard timber fencing systems. They can be used with wooden or metal posts. Ensure your posts are spaced appropriately for the 150mm width of the slats. While they can be cut to size, consider the feather edge profile when planning cuts to maintain weather protection.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the timber, periodic cleaning with mild soap and water is recommended. Inspect the fence annually for any signs of wear or damage. Applying a compatible wood sealant or stain every 2-3 years, especially on cut ends, can further enhance protection against UV rays and moisture, although the initial pressure treatment provides substantial defense.
