What Is Slatted Screen Fencing?
Slatted screens are built with horizontal timber slats fixed to a structural frame, with consistent gaps between slats.
The result is a contemporary, architectural look that provides privacy while still allowing light and air to pass through.
Unlike standard panel fencing, slatted screens are fully bespoke; gap widths, slat sizes, heights, and lengths are all tailored to your garden. We build every screen on-site rather than using off-the-shelf panels.

Timber options for slatted screens
We most commonly work with hardwood and western red cedar for slatted screens. Both are excellent choices:
Western Red Cedar
Cedar is a popular choice for slatted screens. It's naturally rot-resistant, lightweight, easy to work with, and has a beautiful warm colour when new. Over time, it weathers to a distinguished silver-grey, and many customers prefer this aged look.
Hardwood
For maximum durability and a denser, more substantial feel, hardwood slatted screens are an excellent option. Hardwood requires minimal maintenance and handles the British climate extremely well.
Both options are available in a range of slat widths and gap sizes to suit the look and level of privacy you're after.
Where Can Slatted Screens Be Used?
- Garden boundaries: as a full fence line replacement in a contemporary garden
- On top of brick walls: to add height, privacy, or a modern finish above an existing wall
- Bin stores and utility areas: screening unsightly areas from view
- Garden room dividers: creating zones within a larger garden
- Front garden and driveway boundaries: striking kerb appeal without heavy, solid fencing
- Pergola and decking screens: defining outdoor living spaces
Slatted screens are incredibly versatile. Popular uses include:
