Decorative Fence Panels Blogs

There are two main types of treatment that are commonly used with timber fencing and fence panels. These are dip treated and pressure treated. Both of these treatments are very effective but here we will point out the most important differences.

Dip treated panels are often a darker brown or golden colour. The dip treating process is fairly quick to do, meaning the price is usually lower than pressure treatment , which takes much longer. However, dip treatment does not last quite as long and may require additional applications of a brush on preservative in order to give the timber the longest life possible.

Pressure treatment is a method that forces preservatives into the timber, right through to the middle. It’s done by putting the timber in a vacuum and then large amounts of pressure applied to force the chemical preservatives in. These preservatives, like those in dip treatment, are very effective against insects and fungal decay. However, pressure treated timber will, on average, last a bit longer than dip treated. Therefore, this kind of timber will be slightly more expensive than dip treated initially, but you need to weigh up the importance to you of the initial costs against the length of time you expect the timber to last. 

The most common garden fence panels used these days are undoubtedly the closeboard and lap panels. But if you are looking to spruce up your garden before the spring, look beyond the standard closeboard and lap styles. We stock Grange Elite panels which are all a bit different from the common fence panel we all see daily. Any one of these panels will add a touch of individuality to your home and garden.

These panels are green pressure treated timber, so they are long lasting and protected against rot. A popular design is the St Meloir, which features an arched design and is topped with lattice for a striking effect, but there are many others to choose from, all with an individual take on the standard panel. Grange also do attractive and practical hit and miss panels which lets the wind pass through, meaning less damage in gusty weather!

Not only do Grange supply fantastic continental panels, but also a variety of pergolas, arbours, garden furniture and gates.
