Double Sided Slatted Timber Fencing

If you’re buying fencing, chances are you don’t want to do it twice.

That’s really the appeal of double sided slatted timber fencing. It looks right from both sides, it does the privacy job properly, and it avoids that all-too-common situation where one side of the fence feels like an afterthought. Neat, intentional, finished — whichever side you’re standing on.

Once people install it, they rarely go back to anything else.

Privacy that still feels open

These slatted fence panels use overlapping or offset slats, which means there’s no direct line of sight through the fence.

You get privacy where it matters, without blocking light or airflow. That balance is why they work so well in real gardens - especially ones that get a bit windy or feel boxed in already.

They’re ideal for:

Boundary fencing between properties
Garden screening and feature sections
Modern outdoor spaces where appearance actually matters

And because both faces are finished, you don’t have to worry about who gets the “good side”.

A range that actually gives you choice

Not everyone wants the same look — or the same price point — so this collection covers a wide spread:

Canadian Cedar panels for a clean, premium finish that naturally resists moisture and movement.
European Larch panels, a popular option if you want strength, character, and long-term value without jumping straight to hardwood.
Iroko hardwood panels for maximum durability and a deeper, richer tone — often chosen for high-end or exposed installs.
Pressure treated softwood panels, available planed or rough sawn, for practical projects where scale and budget matter.

You’ll also find vertical and horizontal slatted designs, so whether your space leans traditional or contemporary, there’s a panel that fits without forcing it.

Built to last outdoors (not just look good online)

All panels in this collection are designed for external use — properly constructed, correctly spaced, and suitable for year-round exposure. Pressure treated options are protected against rot and decay, while cedar, larch, and iroko offer natural durability straight from the timber itself.

They pair easily with timber or concrete posts, and installation is straightforward for any competent installer or experienced DIYer. No awkward systems. No specialist fixings.

Just solid fencing, done properly.

Choosing the right panel

If you want the lowest maintenance and a premium feel, cedar or iroko is a safe bet.
If you’re fencing a longer run and want consistency without overspending, treated softwood or larch makes a lot of sense.

Still weighing it up? That’s normal. Most customers decide once they compare finishes and sizes below — it tends to click pretty quickly.

Browse the panels in this collection and choose the option that suits your space, your budget, and how you actually want your garden to feel.

Double Sided Slatted Timber Fencing FAQs

1. What is double sided slatted timber fencing?

Double sided slatted fencing uses offset or mirrored slats so both sides of the panel look finished. There’s no exposed rails and no “bad side”, making it ideal for boundaries, screening, and shared spaces.

2. How private is double sided slatted fencing?

Very. The overlapping slat design prevents straight-through sight lines, so you get proper privacy while still allowing light and airflow through the panel.

3. Is double sided fencing better than standard panels?

If appearance matters on both sides, yes. Traditional fencing only looks finished from one direction. Double sided slatted panels solve that problem and tend to age better visually over time.

4. Should I choose vertical or horizontal slats?

It’s mainly an aesthetic choice. Vertical slats suit more traditional gardens and can make spaces feel taller. Horizontal slats give a cleaner, more modern look and work well in contemporary settings.

5. Which timber option is best?

It depends on your priorities.

Cedar offers excellent natural durability and a premium finish.
Larch is strong, stable, and great value long-term.
Iroko is ideal if maximum lifespan is the goal.
Pressure treated softwood is practical and cost-effective for larger projects.

6. Do these panels need regular maintenance?

All timber fencing will weather naturally. Pressure treated panels are protected against rot, while cedar, larch, and iroko have natural resistance. You can oil or stain if you want to preserve colour, but it’s optional.

7. Are these panels suitable for windy gardens?

Yes. The slatted design allows air to pass through, which reduces wind resistance compared to solid fencing. This often makes them a better choice for exposed areas.

8. Can double sided slatted panels be used as garden screens?

Absolutely. Many customers use them for privacy screening, dividing areas, or hiding utilities. Because both sides are finished, they work just as well internally as on boundaries.

9. What posts can I use with these panels?

They’re compatible with both timber and concrete posts. Timber posts create a seamless look, while concrete posts are often chosen for longevity and strength.

10. How do I choose the right panel from this collection?

Start with the look you want (vertical or horizontal), then narrow it down by timber type and budget.
