Description

Defending your garden investment against unpredictable damp spells is crucial, which is why this premium fencing arrives fully dip-treated. This initial preservative application serves to help resist moisture ingress, drastically mitigating the risk of fungal decay over the seasons. Underscoring the durability of the build, a dependable 10-year Anti-Rot Guarantee is included as standard. For eco-conscious buyers, the manufacturer proudly crafts these panels in Britain, utilising timber sourced strictly from sustainably managed forests.

At exactly 5ft High (1.5m), this specific profile represents a brilliant middle ground for side perimeters, granting substantial privacy while still allowing you to easily communicate over the boundary line. If your property features varying ground levels or requires a stepped installation, the Heritage Lap collection easily accommodates complex landscaping projects. You can effortlessly integrate this model alongside the alternative 0.91m, 1.21m, and 1.83m formats, guaranteeing a visually cohesive architectural flow across your entire outdoor space.

Moving entirely away from the irregular, wavy lines of older panel styles, the design focuses on sharp, modern precision. It achieves this highly sought-after aesthetic through the use of pristine straight-cut boards that are meticulously arranged. These tightly packed overlapping boards form a flush, solid screen to completely eradicate unsightly gaps. The timber is then saturated in a rich golden-brown finish, producing a handsome, radiant look that acts as the perfect backdrop for leafy shrubs and modern patio setups alike.

Superior strength dictates the underlying architecture of this reliable garden screen. A thick 38mm frame borders the entire unit, providing immense core stability, while a top cap adds a protective, finishing touch to the timber. To combat heavy winds and prevent the structure from bowing, an arrangement of 4 vertical battens reinforces each side. This heavy-duty engineering ensures the panel remains completely rigid and fully secure long after the initial installation.

Garden Fence Maintenance:

This 5ft High (1.5m) Forest Heritage Lap Fence Panel is dip-treated with a protective base coat to safeguard the timber during storage and transit. Unlike many dip-treated panels that require immediate treatment, you won’t need to apply a preservative straight away. We recommend applying a suitable wood treatment after 12 months, and then annually thereafter, to maintain protection against rot and weathering and to keep your fence looking its best.
