Venetian Fence Panels – Scandinavian Redwood

Our Venetian fence panels are contemporary in style and are made from the highest quality timber. The wonderful wood grain and planed surface of our Redwood timber is protected with pressure treatment to protect it from the elements. Its attractive colouring allows you to appreciate the wonderful wood grain. You can rest assured that this really is the best treated softwood you will find on the market.

Finest Grade Redwood – A Cut Above The Rest

Most fence panels on the market are made from 5th-grade timber, which is full of knots and imperfections. It’s always worth checking the grade of wood used before you buy, as the quality makes a big difference to both the look and the lifespan of your fence. We only use premium timber, and the difference is clear to see across our entire range. After all, not all battens are the same.

The Redwood battens used to make Venetian fencing are machined from the finest Scandinavian Redwood sideboards. This is the highest quality grade available. It means that the timber has few knots and has minimal surface imperfections. The colour of our battens is also very attractive unlike most green treated battens that you will find in abundance online. The timber has been chosen as a cost effective alternative to Cedar fencing. This gives you proper contemporary slatted fencing panels at the best price around.

Important Note

Sometimes the panels may have small vertical marks on the surface of the battens. This is where the battens have been stacked and it makes a faint line on the panel surface. This will fade quickly once the panels are installed and subject to sunlight and weather it is not a defect. This part of the batten has been covered so its slightly damper than the rest of the wood hence it may appear a slightly different colour but this fades once out in the open.

Fencing perfection

Our Venetian fence panels are made so that the battens line up perfectly. If you are looking for the horizontal slatted look then its so important the panels all align correctly. Our unique manufacturing process is very accurate and precise. You can rest assured that the lines of your slatted fencing will run true when purchasing our Venetian panels. If you are comparing products ask the question ‘do the battens line up perfectly?’ before you buy.

Treated Scandinavian redwood panels are handmade in our UK based workshop.

Easy To Assemble 3 Part Cequence Design

Venetian fencing is part of our Cequence fencing system which consists of a slatted panel, a profiled post and a capping rail. The three elements go together to create a seamless fence with no visible posts. Our fence posts and capping page has a range of posts and capping rails that match our Venetian panels perfectly.

These contemporary slatted fence panels are sold in handy 60cm and 90cm high sections that can be stacked above each other to achieve your desired fence height. If your desired fencing height is different you can easily trim off battens as required. The join between stacked Venetian panels is invisible so it will look like a single panel once installed.

The most popular way of fitting these panels is to have them fixed to the front of the posts so that you don’t have a break between each panel.

Don’t forget to buy screws to attach your panels to posts – you can find our 63mm powder coated screws in the fixing section of our website.

Origins Of Venetian Style – And Our Interpretation Of The Style

We have all heard of Venetian blinds, but why did people call this type of blind Venetian?

The answer is no one knows for certain! but the origins are likely to lie in the Far East. It is assumed that a new way of covering windows was discovered by Venice traders who travelled to the East. When they sold them in Europe they took on the name ‘Venetian Blinds’ after the traders who sold them. The rest as they say is History! Our fencing was not discovered by Venetians, but was made in the South East (of England). We hope that we deserve to use the name ‘Venetian’ and that like the blinds it may find its way all across Europe one day.

The original and the best

We were one of the first companies in the UK to design and sell Venetian slatted fence panels. Our panels fit together and line up perfectly for a horizontal slatted look with no visible posts. This style of fencing is the perfect foil to plant against and is very popular with designers and architects. We use finest treated Scandinavian Redwood to make our Venetian fencing, this gives you the look of an expensive Cedar panel at the fraction of the cost.

Why Venetian?

Our fence panels have that gorgeous, minimalist slatted look. A horizontal design creating a continuous line of fencing with no visible posts. The most popular way of fitting these panels is to have them fixed to the front of the posts so that you don’t have a break between each panel. It works in both contemporary and traditional gardens. Venetian fencing is also perfect to clad over existing fencing and can be used on top of a wall to add height to your boundary.

Remember we are fencing experts and design and build every product. We take pride in our work and care about what we do.
We look forward to supplying you with a new fence soon!

Contemporary Fencing FAQ

Question: Can you see through the gaps?
Answer: We offer three gap sizes 7mm, 12mm and 20mm – the 7mm gap gives excellent privacy but not complete privacy. If the panels are clad over an existing fence then the fence behind will not be visisble in through the gaps.

Question: Does the colour fade?
Answer: The Redwood colour will fade over time especially in bright sunlight areas. This is the same for all timber fencing. You can apply a UV protector to prevent the fencing from fading this acts as a barrier to sunlight that causes the wood to fade. Think of it as sun cream for fences. If left to naturally age it will over a number of years fade to a modern silver grey.

Question: Why are the posts not visible?
Answer: Our Venetian fencing is designed to be continuous. The panels fit closely together for a horizontal slatted look. Our Cequence fencing system makes creating contemporary slatted style fencing a quick and easy task. You can find details on the Cequence system and other ways to fit our fencing  in our Install Guides section
