Slatted & Venetian Fencing
Slatted fence panels, often called venetian fencing, have become the go to look for modern gardens. The horizontal slats give you privacy while still letting light and air through, and the gaps between them stop the boundary feeling like a wall. It is the fence people take photos of.
Options & styles
We build venetian slatted fencing with 2-inch or 3-inch slats, in good quality redwood and other premium timbers, to whatever height you need. If you want more privacy, we can fit a black membrane behind the slats so you keep the slatted look but cannot see through it. Venetian wall toppers add height to an existing wall without the bulk of a solid panel, and venetian slatted gates carry the same lines through your gateways. We also install the Jacksons venetian range, which is guaranteed against rot for 25 years. That includes their venetian hit and miss panel, which you cannot see through and which looks the same from both sides.
Why Tatton Fencing
Horizontal slats show up every mistake. If a post is a few millimetres out of plumb you will see it right along the run. Slatted fencing has to be done carefully, and the photos in this gallery are all jobs we have done ourselves. Every job comes with our 2-year workmanship guarantee.
Your questions answered
2-inch slats give a finer, more modern line. 3-inch slats look bolder and a bit warmer. We can show you both before you decide.
Standing at normal distance, the overlap of the slats blocks most of the view. For more privacy we can add a black membrane behind the slats. For total privacy, the Jacksons venetian hit and miss panel cannot be seen through and still looks slatted.
Yes. Venetian wall toppers are one of our more popular choices. They add privacy and style to a walled garden without the heaviness of solid panels.
Timber is a living material, and no two fences or gates are quite the same. Here’s what to expect as yours settles in.
