Hit & Miss Fence Panels
Hit and miss fence panels provide a modern garden boundary with a useful balance of screening and airflow. Their alternating horizontal boards create partial privacy while allowing more air to pass through than a fully solid fence panel.
East Coast Fencing supplies pressure treated horizontal hit and miss fence panels in 3ft, 4ft, 5ft and 6ft heights. All panels are supplied in a standard 6ft width, making them suitable for common timber and concrete fencing systems.
Horizontal Hit and Miss Fencing
The horizontal board layout gives hit and miss fencing a clean, contemporary appearance. Boards are arranged on alternating sides of the panel, creating depth and visual interest while reducing direct views through the boundary.
This style works particularly well around patios, seating areas and modern landscaped gardens. It can be used for a complete fence run or as a decorative feature alongside other fence panels.
Privacy and Airflow
Hit and miss panels provide more screening than open trellis or picket fencing, but they are not completely solid. The alternating boards allow some light and airflow through, helping the garden feel less enclosed.
This makes them a practical option for boundaries where privacy is important but a solid panel may feel too heavy. For stronger screening with a similar contemporary appearance, consider double slatted fence panels.
Hit and Miss Fence Panel Heights
Three-foot panels create a low decorative boundary for paths, patios and internal garden divisions. 4ft fence panels provide more separation while retaining a relatively open feel.
5ft fence panels offer a useful balance of height and screening, while 6ft hit and miss fence panels are the tallest option for rear gardens and boundaries where greater privacy is required.
A gravel board fitted below the panel will increase the total visible height of the completed fence.
Pressure Treated Timber Panels
Our hit and miss fence panels are pressure treated for outdoor use, helping protect the timber against rot and fungal decay. They are supplied in a green or natural treated finish that will gradually weather after installation.
Timber is a natural material, so variations in colour, grain and knots are expected. Differences between individual panels and treatment batches are part of the natural appearance of the product.
Hit and Miss or Double Slatted Panels?
Hit and miss panels use alternating boards to provide partial screening and improved airflow. Their layered construction creates a distinctive appearance and makes them a good choice for more open contemporary boundaries.
Double slatted panels have closely arranged horizontal slats and generally provide a stronger level of screening. Both styles suit modern gardens, with the best choice depending on how much privacy and airflow you want.
Hit and Miss or Traditional Fence Panels?
Hit and miss fencing is mainly chosen for its decorative horizontal design and balance of privacy and openness. It provides a more contemporary finish than traditional garden fencing.
For a fully solid boundary, closeboard fence panels provide a heavier construction and greater screening. Waney lap fence panels offer a more economical solid option for general garden fencing.
