5 Decorative Fencing Designs to Create a Beautiful Frame for Your Garden

Slatted fence panels are one of the most fashionable styles of decorative fencing. As well as looking great, their main benefit is to increase the level of natural light that comes into the garden, while still providing a degree of privacy. Slatted panels are also better equipped to withstand windy conditions. This is because the wind can pass through the gaps between the slats, rather than beating against a solid mass of wood.

Double slatted fence panels are variations of the above; the only difference being that they have more slats, with smaller gaps between each. Double slatted fencing has the advantage of providing greater privacy and security than standard slatted panels, but it comes at the cost of allowing less natural light to filter into the garden.

We stock some exceptionally stylish slatted fence panels for sale, just like this one…

Hit and miss fencing is made by alternately fixing horizontal slats to the front and rear of vertical battens. It can also be designed with the slats placed vertically and the battens horizontally. Either way, it creates what is called a hit and miss effect.

Hit and miss fence panels’ main benefit is that they look equally attractive from both sides. Also, while it provides complete privacy and excellent security, hit and miss fencing allows a certain amount of air to pass through the panel, so increasing the fence run’s resistance to wind.

Sometimes referred to as domed top fence panels, this decorative garden fencing is designed with a rounded top section.

From its jaw-dropping design to premium, pressure-treated build, everything about this garden fencing oozes class.

The bulk of the panel is designed using an attractive hit and miss effect. However, higher up the fence this seamlessly transitions into trellis, rounded off with a convex top. The result is stunning, but the plus points don’t end there.
