Buy 6FT x 6FT Framed Contemporary Double Slatted Panel at East Coast Fencing
6FT x 6FT Framed Contemporary Double Slatted Panel is a modern timber fence panel designed to deliver sleek styling with practical, year-round performance. Built to span a standard 6ft bay at 6ft high, the panel combines a clean, horizontal slat layout with a sturdy perimeter frame, offering a refined look that suits contemporary homes as well as garden makeovers where a sharper architectural line is desired.
Contemporary double-slatted design
The panel uses a double-slatted arrangement: horizontal boards on both faces are offset to limit direct lines of sight while still allowing airflow between the slats. This creates a smart, semi-private screen that softens wind loads compared with solid boards and keeps outdoor spaces feeling lighter and more comfortable. The uniform slat spacing produces the crisp, linear aesthetic associated with modern landscaping.
Rigid, framed construction
A robust outer frame encloses the slatted infill to maintain shape and alignment over time. The frame adds torsional strength, reduces the risk of racking in gusty weather and provides solid edges for secure fixing to posts. This engineered approach helps panels sit true across longer runs and simplifies handling during installation.
Made for standard 6ft bays
At 1.83m wide (6ft), each panel is sized to fit typical UK bays without trimming. The consistent module makes layout straightforward along straight runs and around corners, and pairs naturally with common post centres and base options. The 6ft height offers fuller screening and a bold, architectural presence when a taller boundary is desired.
Durability you can count on
The panel is designed for year-round outdoor use and specified to stand up to changeable British weather. The slatted build reduces continuous sail area, easing wind pressure, while the framed perimeter helps resist warping and maintains crisp edges through the seasons. The construction quality supports a long service life with routine care.
Style and function in balance
- Semi-privacy: Off-set slats limit direct sightlines while avoiding the heaviness of solid cladding.
- Air movement: Controlled gaps allow breezes to pass, moderating gust loads and improving comfort.
- Acoustic softening: The twin-skin slat layout helps break up sound paths more effectively than single-skin screens.
- Visual rhythm: Even slat spacing delivers the neat, horizontal banding associated with contemporary gardens.
Where this panel excels
- Modern plots: Complements rendered walls, porcelain paving and minimalist planting schemes.
- Terraces & patios: Forms a refined backdrop for outdoor seating and kitchens without feeling enclosed.
- Side returns: Provides tidy screening for bins, utilities and storage with a consistent, high-end finish.
- Garden zoning: Defines distinct areas—dining, play, grow—while preserving light and airflow between spaces.
Fixing and compatibility
The framed edges present a reliable surface for panel clips or exterior-grade screws. Panels can be installed between timber posts or slotted concrete posts, and may be combined with a gravel board to lift timber clear of splashback and damp soil at ground level. Use corrosion-resistant fixings to maintain the clean appearance.
Installation notes
- Set posts plumb and to line using a taut string; confirm the 6ft bay with the panel before fixing permanently.
- If a gravel board is used, install it first to establish datum height and keep the base line consistent.
- Secure the panel through the frame into posts with exterior-grade fixings; pre-drill near ends to minimise splitting.
- On sloped ground, step panels neatly at post positions to keep the top line visually tidy.
Low-maintenance care
Routine upkeep is simple: check fixings periodically, keep foliage off the timber, and brush away debris from slat gaps to maintain airflow. If you plan to refresh colour in the future, allow the timber to season before applying a compatible exterior wood finish, and re-treat any fresh cuts as part of best practice.
Design coherence across the boundary
The horizontal rhythm pairs well with contemporary gates of the same style, allowing entrances to read as part of a single composition. Repeating the module across long runs delivers a uniform, premium look that ties planting, paving and built elements together.
