About this product
The Forest Garden 6ft x 6ft Closeboard Fence Panel offers a robust and attractive solution for marking boundaries and enhancing your garden’s security. These panels are constructed from heavy-duty closeboard construction – recognised as one of the strongest UK-made fence panels – ideal for those seeking a durable and long-lasting addition to their outdoor space.
Each pack contains four panels, featuring thick overlapping square cut 8mm boards arranged vertically. The rough sawn timber finish creates an attractive look while providing excellent privacy. These panels are dip treated, offering a 10-year anti-rot guarantee for added peace of mind against the elements. Reinforced with central battens for strength, they’re built to withstand typical weather conditions.
These closeboard fence panels are perfect for creating a secure and defined garden area. They're particularly well suited to those wanting a more substantial fencing solution than wane-edge options. Please note that posts and gravel boards need to be purchased separately.
Due to the heavy-duty construction, installation is best undertaken with two people. The total weight of this pack is 109.2 kilograms.

FAQ
What is this fence panel best suited for?
These Forest Garden closeboard panels are ideal for marking property boundaries and providing a secure, visually appealing screen. Their robust construction makes them suitable for gardens requiring privacy or security, particularly where a more substantial fence is desired.
What materials are the panels made from?
The panels are constructed using wood with thick overlapping square cut boards measuring 8mm in thickness. These boards are arranged vertically and mounted to a perimeter frame, creating a durable closeboard design.
How heavy is a single panel?
A single Forest Garden 6ft x 6ft Closeboard Fence Panel weighs approximately 109.2 kilograms. Due to its considerable weight, we recommend having two people assist with installation.

The panels feature a rough-sawn timber finish, providing a natural and rustic aesthetic. The boards are left untreated to maintain their authentic appearance and allow for individual styling.
Does this product include posts or gravel boards?
No, these panels only comprise the fence panels themselves. Posts and gravel boards need to be purchased separately to complete the fence installation.
What does the 'dip-treated' aspect mean?
The panels are dip-treated with a process designed to protect against rot and extend their lifespan. This treatment is backed by a 10-year anti-rot guarantee from the manufacturer, though details should be verified directly with Amazon.

Are there any safety considerations when using these panels?
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and eye protection during installation and maintenance. Due to the weight, careful handling is essential to avoid injury.
