About this product
This Forest Garden fence panel set provides a robust and stylish solution for enclosing gardens and outdoor spaces. The pack of five panels offers an economical way to cover a full boundary run, making it a popular choice for both experienced gardeners and those undertaking their first landscaping project. Constructed from dip-treated timber, these panels are designed to resist rot and weathering, providing long-lasting performance in typical British conditions.
The fence utilises a lap panel construction, which significantly enhances wind resistance – a key consideration for garden fencing exposed to prevailing breezes. Each panel measures 182.9 centimetres in length and 152 centimetres in width, allowing for flexible placement within your garden design. The traditional style complements various garden aesthetics, from contemporary to more rustic settings.
These panels are supplied as a set of five, but it’s important to note that posts and gravel boards will need to be purchased separately – these are typically sold as accessories. The dip-treated wood offers an attractive brown finish and contributes to the fence's durability.
This Forest Garden offering is ideal for homeowners seeking a durable and visually appealing boundary solution. Remember to factor in the additional cost of posts and gravel boards when planning your project, ensuring you have all necessary components for a complete installation.
