Horizontal Slatted Trellis
Horizontal slatted trellis provides a clean, contemporary way to add screening, structure and plant support to garden boundaries. The straight timber battens create a modern appearance while allowing light and airflow through the panel.
East Coast Fencing manufactures pressure treated horizontal slatted trellis in-house using rough sawn timber battens. All panels are supplied in a standard 1.83m width, with a wide choice of heights and brown or green and natural treated finishes.
Wooden Slatted Trellis Panels
Wooden slatted trellis works well around patios, seating areas, planted borders and modern landscaped gardens. It can be used between posts as a standalone screen, fixed against a suitable wall or added above existing fence panels.
The horizontal layout gives the trellis a more contemporary finish than traditional square or diamond patterns. It can be used across a complete boundary or as a decorative feature within a wider garden design.
Slatted Trellis for Screening
The open spacing between the horizontal battens provides light screening without creating a fully solid boundary. This makes slatted trellis useful where you want more separation around a patio or seating area while keeping the garden bright and open.
Lower panels provide a decorative finishing detail, while taller slatted trellis offers greater screening and more space for climbing plants. For closer spacing and a more private square pattern, consider privacy square trellis.
Horizontal Slatted Trellis Heights
Our horizontal slatted trellis is available in heights from 0.3m to 1.83m. Low 0.3m, 0.45m, 0.6m and 0.75m panels are suitable for adding detail and extra height above garden fencing.
Mid-height 0.9m, 1.2m and 1.5m panels work well for planted areas, patios and garden divisions. Full-height 1.83m slatted trellis provides the greatest level of screening within the range while retaining an open timber design.
Slatted Fence Topper Trellis
Low horizontal slatted panels can be fitted above an existing fence to add height and a modern decorative finish. The open construction keeps the top of the boundary lighter than replacing the fence with a taller solid panel.

Slatted Trellis for Climbing Plants
The horizontal battens provide a useful support for climbing plants and trained greenery. As plants establish, they can soften the straight lines of the trellis and provide increasing levels of natural screening.
Horizontal slatted trellis can be positioned behind borders, containers and patio planting. The final coverage will depend on the plant variety, position and amount of time allowed for growth.
Brown and Green Slatted Trellis
Brown pressure treated slatted trellis provides a darker finish that coordinates well with established fencing and traditional timber features. Green or natural treated trellis has a lighter appearance that gradually weathers outdoors.
Both finishes are pressure treated to help protect the timber against rot and fungal decay. Variations in grain, knots and colour are normal features of natural timber.
Horizontal Slatted or Traditional Trellis?
Horizontal slatted trellis has straight lines and a contemporary appearance, making it well suited to modern patios, garden rooms and landscaped boundaries.
Traditional trellis uses a regular square grid and provides a more familiar garden finish. Both options allow light and airflow through, with the best choice depending mainly on the style and level of screening required.
