More information about Fence Panels
Looking for high-quality wooden fence panels for your next landscaping and fencing project? We stock a range of fence panels in various types, sizes and styles, so no matter what you’re after, we’re sure we’ve got it. As well as panels and boards, we’ve got plenty of fence posts to match and other fencing supplies to complete your job to an excellent standard.
What types of fence panels do we offer at Selco?
Choosing the perfect garden fence panels depends on your customer’s personal style and budget. Made from certified timber, all our wood fence panels have been treated to protect them against the elements and fight against damp and rot, meaning you can rest assured your panels will stand the test of time. As well as being long-lasting, strong and durable, our fence panels look good too, and are ready to be painted or stained to get your desired colour and finish.
We offer a variety of sizes in our fence panel range, with 6x6 fence panels often being the most popular size for domestic gardens. Browse our 3ft, 4ft, 5ft or 6ft fence panels, all with 6ft widths.
Feather edge fence panels, also known as closeboard fence panels
Feather edge fence panels and closeboard fence panels are one and the same. The terms are used interchangeably to describe a type of panel constructed with overlapping vertical feather edge boards. Closeboard panels offer better privacy compared with other panel styles, and are a perfect option for building a perimeter or boundary wall for your customer’s garden.
We also sell individual feather edge boards for you to construct your own fencing, sheds or cladding. The boards are also treated in the same way as the panels, helping to prevent damp and rot.
Lap fence panels
Lap fence panels, or overlap fence panels, are a traditional style of fencing and the most popular choice on the market for domestic garden projects. Constructed with overlapping horizontal boards slotted into a frame, lap fence panels offer a timeless, rustic appearance. An affordable option for your customer’s garden perimeter, our traditional lap fencing has good privacy and durability.
Trellis fence panels
Garden trellis panels and screening are a popular choice for adding a little privacy and shade to your customer’s garden. They can be added to the top of traditional fence panels to finish the look, used as a structure for climbing plants, or used to separate different areas of the garden. We offer various sizes of square trellis fence panels, so we’re sure you’ll find something to suit your project requirements.

FAQs
How wide are fence panels?
Fence panels vary in size, but the most common for a standard lap or closeboard fence panel is 6’ x 6’. At Selco, our fence panels are 6ft (1829mm) wide, with a range of heights depending on your customer’s needs and preferences. Decorative fence panels and trellis will usually be smaller in size.
How many fence panels do I need?
First, you’ll need to measure in a straight line along the perimeter you wish to create with your fencing. You can divide this measurement by the width of one fence panel to work out how many you need. Make sure to keep in mind you’ll be placing a fence post between each panel too.
How long do fence panels last?
The average lifespan of a standard fence panel is around 10-20 years, but this can depend on the level of care and maintenance as well as how much wear-and-tear it’s exposed to. You can boost the lifespan of your panels by choosing high-quality materials, ensuring proper installation, and maintaining them with stains, paints and wood treatments.
Are fence panels treated?
Most fence panels are either dip treated, where they are submerged in preservative chemicals that add colour and protection, or pressure treated, where the chemical preservatives are forced into the timber under high levels of pressure. At Selco, all our fence panels are treated to protect against damp, rot, insects and fungi.
How do I paint a fence panel?
Make sure to choose a tough, durable fence paint that is specially designed for exterior wood. It’s up to you if you’d like to apply your paint with a fence brush or a fence paint sprayer. Remember to check the weather forecast – you’ll want to do this when you’ve got a couple days of dry, warm weather.
