Buy 6FT x 5FT Waney Lap Fence Panel - Pressure Treated Green at East Coast Fencing
The 6FT x 5FT Waney Lap Fence Panel – Pressure Treated Green is a classic, practical choice for homeowners who want reliable privacy with a slightly lower profile than a full 6ft fence. Its overlap design provides strong coverage, while the green pressure treatment prepares the timber to stand up to the British climate. This panel is ideal for creating neat, secure boundaries around gardens, side returns and shared spaces, offering long-lasting value and a natural look that softens into the landscape.
Why pick a 6FT x 5FT waney lap panel in green?
Waney lap panels, sometimes called overlap panels, are a time-tested option for balancing privacy, durability and affordability. At 5ft tall, this panel height provides plenty of seclusion while letting more light reach your garden compared to taller fencing. The green pressure treatment not only protects the timber but also gives a fresh, natural tone that blends seamlessly with planting, paving and decking.
Construction & protection
Built with overlapping horizontal boards set within a stable frame, these panels offer dependable performance across standard fencing runs. The green pressure treatment penetrates the timber, giving it improved resilience against the elements. This makes the panel a sensible, low-maintenance choice for replacing worn fencing or upgrading long boundaries in one go.
Privacy & security for everyday gardens
The 6FT x 5FT Waney Lap Fence Panel creates meaningful privacy for outdoor seating, children’s play areas or pet enclosures. It helps clearly define property lines and adds a sense of security without overwhelming smaller gardens. When fixed between robust posts and supported with a plinth, it forms a durable, secure system that’s easy to maintain.
Weather readiness & lifespan
The green pressure treatment helps the panel withstand rain and changing temperatures. To maximise its life, pair it with concrete gravel boards, which lift the timber clear of soil and splashback. Adding panel capping along the top rail improves water run-off and gives a neat, professional finish that keeps the fence looking sharp.
Planning your layout
At 6ft wide, these panels fit into standard bays for straightforward planning. The 5ft height is useful for boundaries where you want privacy without the height of a full 6ft run. On sloping plots, panels can be stepped for a consistent look or raked where gradients allow. Corners and returns can be tied in neatly by spacing posts evenly along the boundary.
Style fit: green treatment for a natural look
The green finish has an earthy tone that works beautifully in planted gardens, softening the boundary so it blends with shrubs, hedges and lawns. Over time, it weathers into a more muted shade that still feels at home in both traditional and contemporary settings. For homeowners who want to customise the appearance, a suitable exterior wood treatment can be applied later.
Quick, straightforward installation
These panels are designed for simple installation. For maximum durability, slot them between concrete fence posts. If you prefer a fully timber look, wooden posts are a natural alternative. Use outdoor-ready screws and fixings to secure panels in place and ensure they remain firm through all seasons.
Building a complete fencing system
A reliable fence works as a whole system: post, plinth, panel, capping and fixings. Use gravel boards at the base to protect timber edges, finish with panel capping for consistent run-off and appearance, and hold it all together with durable fixings.

Where these panels fit best
The 5ft height is especially useful for gardens that don’t need full-height boundaries but still require privacy. They’re well suited to side returns, shared boundaries with neighbours, or sections near patios where taller fencing might feel too imposing. They provide just the right level of screening without closing in the space.
Pro installation & maintenance tips
Plan your run: Use a string line to keep posts aligned. Set posts securely: Ensure proper depth and stability, especially on corners. Seal cut ends: Treat any freshly cut timber to maintain protection. Keep panels clear: Always raise them with a gravel board. Seasonal checks: Inspect after storms and trim plants to prevent pressure on the boards.
Finishing details
Finishing touches such as panel caps and coordinated post choices make the boundary feel polished and cohesive. Consider adding trellis panels above these bays for decorative appeal and extra height where needed. Matching gate furniture and ironmongery can also enhance the look and functionality of your fencing system.
