Yes, if the rest of the trellis is sound and you can match the existing timber section and layout. Our loose trellis battens are 1.83m long with a 38 x 16mm section and can be cut for suitable repairs.
Yes. If the frame and the rest of the lattice are still serviceable, replacing an individual damaged trellis batten can avoid changing the complete panel.
Our 1.83m x 38 x 16mm trellis batten is supplied specifically as a loose component for trellis repairs, bespoke lattice and lightweight garden screening. The 38 x 16mm section matches the batten size used across many of our timber trellis products.
Measure the existing batten before starting the repair. Trellis designs can use different timber sections and different layouts, even where the complete panels appear similar from a distance. Match the section, check how the damaged piece crosses neighbouring battens and reproduce the existing spacing rather than simply adding a new piece wherever it fits.
The 1.83m length can be shortened for smaller repairs. If it is cut, the fresh timber end should be treated appropriately before being left outdoors. Use exterior-grade fixings suitable for the relatively slim 16mm timber and avoid fixings that are unnecessarily large for the section.
A trellis batten is part of the lattice rather than the main structural support. If the outer frame, supporting posts or a large proportion of the panel has failed, replacing individual battens may not solve the underlying problem. Browse timber battens for loose repair components or compare complete trellis panels where the damage is more extensive.
