Forest Garden Heritage Traditional Overlap Dip Treated Timber Fence Panel - Brown

Dip-treated timber has been immersed in a wood preservative solution, offering basic protection against rot and insects. Pressure-treated timber undergoes a process where the preservative is forced deep into the wood under pressure, offering longer-lasting and more robust protection.

For optimal protection and appearance, it is recommended to re-treat the dip-treated fence panel annually with a suitable wood preservative or stain.

Yes, fence posts and fixings (such as screws or clips) are not included with the panel and must be purchased separately.

Yes, once the timber is dry, you can paint or stain the panel using exterior-grade products to match your garden's aesthetic. Ensure you use products suitable for treated timber.

Traditional overlap means the horizontal slats or boards are overlapped as they are fixed to the vertical battens. This design provides strength and a classic look, with each board slightly overlapping the one beneath it.

You can clean the panel using a soft brush or cloth with mild soapy water. Rinse with clean water and allow to dry thoroughly. Avoid using high-pressure washers, which can damage the timber.

Please refer to the product packaging or the Forest Garden website for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

Ensure fence posts are securely installed and the panel is firmly attached to the posts with adequate fixings. Check post stability, especially in soft ground.

Apply a coat of wood preservative or stain suitable for outdoor timber. Ensure the panel is clean and dry before application.

Ensure the panel is installed with a small gap above the ground to allow for air circulation and water runoff. Consider installing a gravel board.

Small cracks are a natural characteristic of timber and usually do not affect structural integrity. If cracks are significant, consult a professional for repair options.
