6ft x 5ft Traditional Lap (Overlap) Fence Panel Overview
Our 6ft x 5ft Traditional Lap Fence Panel is a practical and cost-effective choice for residential garden boundaries. Measuring 6ft wide x 5ft high (1.83m x 1.52m), it provides effective screening while maintaining a more open appearance than a full 6ft panel.
The familiar horizontal overlap construction creates a traditional appearance that suits a wide range of garden styles. It can be installed with either timber or concrete fence posts, making it a versatile option for new and replacement fencing.
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 Panel for an Approximate 5ft 6in Finished Height
At 5ft high (1.52m), this panel provides useful privacy and clear boundary definition without creating the more enclosed appearance of a full 6ft fence.
When installed above a 6-inch (150mm) gravel board, it creates a finished fence height of approximately 5ft 6in (1.68m). The gravel board also separates the bottom of the timber panel from direct ground contact, helping to protect it from ground moisture.
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.
