Slatted fencing done properly

Ben builds slatted screen fencing across South Wales in timber and composite — horizontal slats fixed to a solid frame with even, considered gaps for that crisp, modern, architectural look. It suits new-builds, garden renovations and contemporary properties, and works beautifully as a feature screen, a boundary, or a divider around a deck or seating area.

Done well, slatted fencing is all about precision: a true frame, consistent slat spacing, and clean fixings, because every gap and every line is on show. Ben builds the frame solid and square on properly set posts so the finished screen is dead true — a slatted fence that sags or has uneven gaps looks worse than no fence at all, so the care is in the setting-out.

Timber slats give warmth and can be stained to suit; composite slats give the same contemporary look with none of the upkeep and no fading. Ben can match slatted fencing to composite decking for one consistent modern look across the garden. Priced fixed on the free site visit.

Slatted fencing questions, answered

Does slatted fencing give privacy?

It can — the privacy depends on the slat spacing. Tighter gaps give near-full privacy while keeping the contemporary look; wider gaps let more light and air through as a feature screen. Ben sets the spacing to the balance of privacy and look you want on the site visit.

Is slatted fencing better in timber or composite?

Both give the clean contemporary look. Timber is warmer and can be stained to suit, but wants the odd re-treat. Composite holds its colour, never needs painting and does not fade — the fit-and-forget choice, and it can be matched to composite decking. Ben fits both and advises what suits the garden and the upkeep you want.

Why does precision matter on slatted fencing?

Because every slat, gap and line is on show, any sag, lean or uneven spacing is immediately obvious. A slatted fence only looks right if the frame is true and square and the slat spacing is consistent, which comes down to careful setting-out on properly set posts. That precision is exactly what Ben builds in.
