6ft x 5ft 6in Traditional Lap (Overlap) Fence Panel Overview
Our 6ft x 5ft 6in Traditional Lap Fence Panel is a practical and cost-effective choice for full-height garden boundaries. Measuring 6ft wide x 5ft 6in high (1.83m x 1.68m), it provides substantial screening while leaving space beneath the panel for a gravel board.
When installed above a 6-inch (150mm) concrete gravel board, it creates a finished fence height of approximately 6ft (1.83m). This makes it a popular choice for rear gardens and other boundaries where full-height privacy is required.
Reinforced with Four Vertical Support Battens
This panel is reinforced with 4 x 19mm vertical support battens, which provide additional support across its full width. The reinforced construction helps the panel retain its shape and reduces the risk of bowing or slumping over time.
The straight-edged horizontal boards overlap one another to provide solid visual coverage while allowing rainwater to run down the face of the panel.
Dip-Treated Timber for Outdoor Protection
The timber is dip-treated with a preservative to protect against rot and fungal decay. This treatment also gives the panel its traditional brown appearance, allowing it to blend naturally into most garden settings.
As with other dip-treated timber products, periodically applying a suitable additional wood preservative will help maintain its appearance and protection.
5ft 6in Panel for an Approximate 6ft Finished Height
At 5ft 6in high (1.68m), this panel provides effective garden screening while allowing room for a gravel board beneath it. Adding a 6-inch gravel board creates an approximate 6ft finished fence height and separates the bottom of the timber panel from direct ground contact.
This helps protect the panel from ground moisture while retaining the familiar height of a full garden boundary.
A Cost-Effective Traditional Fence Panel
The lap panel’s simple construction makes it an economical alternative to heavier closeboard fencing. Its traditional brown finish works well in both established and modern gardens, while the reinforced battens provide dependable support for everyday residential use.
Compatible with Timber or Concrete Fence Posts
This overlap fence panel can be installed between timber fence posts or slotted concrete posts. It is also compatible with timber and concrete gravel boards, allowing it to be incorporated into a range of traditional fencing systems.
