Description

Steel fence slats and fencing

A metal slat fence can be designed around the house and the degree of garden screening you want. Individual profiles let you choose the spacing and height, while coated steel arrives with its final surface. This suits both new fencing and replacement infill that retains a sound existing frame.

Choosing gaps for the garden

Slat width and spacing determine how open the fence looks. Narrow profiles with wider gaps mark a boundary lightly. Wider slats or a properly designed double-sided layout offer more screening. This allows the frontage and the terrace boundary to be treated differently. Individually fixing slats to the rails lets you fit the pattern to each bay length while maintaining even spacing.

Ribs that stiffen the profile

Bends and ribs stiffen the thin sheet and give lightweight infill its surface pattern. Some models have softer lines, others more pronounced ribs. Straight or rounded ends also affect the fence’s top edge. Low weight helps position the slats for fixing across successive bays, including when fitting new infill to a suitable existing frame.

A finish without the upkeep of timber

Zinc protection and a decorative coating give steel slats colour and a finished surface at installation. The regular timber treatment needed for many wooden boards is unnecessary. Matching slats can tie long runs to the vehicle and pedestrian gates. A timber effect gives a grain pattern on a metal base. Cleaning and protection of coating damage remain important for durability and are easier to manage than repeatedly refinishing a long timber fence.

Vertical or horizontal fence bays

Select a model intended for the chosen installation direction. Vertical slats suit many traditional houses and gardens; suitable horizontal profiles form long, calm lines. Colour can match windows, roofing or façade details. Custom lengths can accommodate existing post heights and boundary layouts. Use the same profile family for larger bays and a narrow pedestrian gate to retain a consistent appearance throughout.
