At 1.83m wide and 0.45m high, the 1.83M x 0.45M Privacy Square Trellis - Pressure Treated Green/Natural is designed for customers who want a closer lattice than traditional trellis while retaining an open timber structure. Its approximate 50mm square pattern reduces direct sight lines and gives climbing plants plenty of points to weave through.
The extra 150mm compared with the 300mm version gives climbing stems more timber to spread across and creates a more noticeable screening strip above the fence. It suits boundaries where a very shallow topper feels insufficient but a 600mm panel would be more height than required. East Coast Fencing manufactures this privacy trellis in-house using 16 x 38mm rough sawn trellis batten. Because the timber is rough sawn, surface texture, saw marks, knots and grain variation are normal and should be expected rather than treated as defects.
A 450mm panel is a useful compromise where 300mm feels too shallow but a 600mm topper would add more height than the setting needs. That extra depth matters most where the trellis will be seen from a seating area or where a climber needs more support than a narrow finishing strip can provide. Check the permitted and desired finished fence height before ordering rather than treating topper height as an afterthought.
The green/natural treatment protects the timber for outdoor use while leaving its underlying grain and character easy to see. Freshly treated sections can vary in shade and will change naturally after installation as the panel is exposed to weather.
For use as a topper, first check the condition and spacing of the existing fence supports. The additional height increases the area exposed to wind, so the trellis needs to be fixed to sound posts or framing with suitable exterior fixings. Our fence topper trellis section can help if you are comparing alternative topper heights and patterns.
The smaller openings make this product a better choice for filtered screening than the more open traditional pattern, but it is still trellis rather than a solid barrier. Browse the wider privacy square trellis range for other heights, or the main trellis panels category if light transmission and openness are higher priorities.
