HD Quality Overlap fence panels
Firstly these lap fence panels are made in the Welsh borders by a well established specialist timber manufacturer. They are robust and made to a high specification, with pressure treated panel components. Competitively priced these panels use up to 30% more materials than other Suppliers.
Lap panels are typically 45mm thick and will accept a 46mm panel clip. Weights? The 6’ x 5’ panels normally weigh in at 38kg. depending on how wet the timber is.
Pressure treatment and Tanalith preservative
Because timber components for panels are supplied as unspecified softwood, they could be spruce, douglas fir or larch. Therefore, the panel colours can initially vary from pack to pack, even sometimes within packs. This colour variation generally tones down considerably after a few weeks. There may be traces of green on some timber slats, this is quite normal and normally occurs where knots or sap in the timber have a small residue of preservative.
If the colour difference is considered too great, even for only 1 season, the sawn boards can be stained, usually shades of brown, grey or green, Because of the absorbent nature of sawn timber you would be advised to use a stain that is formulated for sawn rather than planed timber. We supply a range of suitable Ronseal product which is available in several different shades. If you want a retro-fence then we stock dark, and light, Creosote stains as well.
