Fence Panels

Q: What is the strongest type of fence panel?

Close-board fences, also called feather board fencing, are one of the strongest types of fence panels. They are constructed with overlapping vertical feather-edge wooden boards making the fence robust and reliable.

Q: What fencing is best for high winds?

If your fence is in an area with high wind it should be built with gaps in it to let the wind blow through it. Metals like stainless steel and wrought iron are also usually preferred.

Q: Are fence panels treated?

Typically yes, wooden fence panels are treated to help them to last longer and prevent rot.

Fence panels offer an attractive, natural, refined appeal that fits diverse styles from traditional to modern homes.

Types of fence panels

Overlap fence

This style of timber fencing is constructed by overlapping horizontal fence boards. These boards have two straight edges, forming stiff consecutive lines and a strong fence with no gaps as a result.

Feather edge

This style of fencing attaches to horizontal rails, running top to bottom. The name comes from tapering, where one edge gradually becomes thinner, like a feather. It's popular for privacy fencing and garden border fencing in Australia.

Hit-and-miss

This is an attractive, modern fencing style. The structure comprises fence boards alternatively fixed on the front and back of the panel. It's suitable for both horizontal and vertical boards.

Vertical fence panels

Vertical panelling is an excellent heavy-duty solution, particularly for privacy fences. Each wooden board covers part of the other, allowing no light and no curious eyes through.

The advantages of high-quality fence panels

The fence design you choose depends on personal preferences and practical parameters such as privacy and security. Given how important many of these facets are, you should always ensure you choose the best option available.

They are also design tested with respect to style, with detailing that can enhance and elevate a property.

How to choose fence panels that are right for you

When choosing the right fence panels for your property, there are several factors to keep in mind. First, note the durability. If you live in an area with high levels of wind, or you require substantial protection due to young children or pets, choose high durability panels like overlap fence panels. Do note that wooden fence panels – including oak and redwood — look elegant and striking, but they can also be susceptible to wood rot, especially if you live in an area with high rainfall. Wood fence panels can require a lot of upkeep, so if you’re looking for low-maintenance fence panels, vinyl, concrete or aluminium might be a more suitable choice. Vertical and horizontal fence panels also offer different advantages. Vertical fence panels can follow the contours of your land, perfect if you’re not on flat terrain. However, horizontal fence panels can be easily customised and offer a modern look.

How long are standard fence panels?

1 metre and 1.2 metre fence panels are commonly used for low-level fencing in Australia, while 1.5 metre and 1.8 metre fence panels are chosen for increased privacy and security.
