6ft x 5ft 6in Traditional Lap (Overlap) Fence Panel Overview
Our 6ft x 5ft 6in Traditional Overlap Fence Panel is designed to provide excellent privacy and security for residential gardens while remaining a cost-effective and practical fencing solution. This size is specifically designed to achieve a full 6ft boundary when paired with a standard 6inch concrete gravel board.
When installed with a 150mm (6-inch) gravel board, this panel achieves an overall height of approximately 6ft, making it the most popular choice for homeowners seeking maximum privacy with added ground clearance to protect the timber.
Heavy-Duty Construction with 19mm Framing
Unlike standard budget alternatives, our overlap panels are reinforced with 4 sturdy 19mm vertical support battens. This heavy-duty framing ensures the panel remains rigid and prevents “slumping” or bowing over time. The premium straight-edge horizontal boards provide a clean, professional appearance while effectively shedding rainwater to protect the timber core.
Dip-Treated for Weather Protection
This panel is dip-treated in a high-quality wood preservative to protect against rot, fungal decay, and insect attack. This treatment provides a classic brown finish, ensuring your garden boundary is protected from the elements from the moment it is installed.
5ft 6in Height – The Perfect 6ft Finish
Manufactured at a true 5ft 6in height (1.68m), this panel offers strong privacy. By using this height rather than a full 6ft panel, you can add a gravel board at the base to prevent ground rot while still maintaining the standard 6ft legal boundary height for rear gardens.
Practical, Affordable, and Built for Everyday Use
The classic brown timber finish blends easily into any landscaping scheme. As a high-specification yet budget-friendly option, this panel delivers strong performance and dependable coverage without the premium price tag of closeboard fencing.
