Lap Fence Panels

Our lap fence panels (also known as overlap, waney lap or larch lap panels) are the traditional choice for garden boundaries on a budget. Unlike standard budget panels, ours are fully framed with five battens on each side and finished with finely sawn slats that have straight edges, so they look smarter and last longer. Available pressure treated in green or brown, from £25.76 with a 10 year guarantee.

Lap Fence Panels FAQs

What are lap fence panels also known as?
Lap panels go by many names, including waney lap, wavy lap, larch lap, straight lap and overlap panels. They all describe the same traditional style of timber fencing panel with overlapping horizontal boards.

What sizes do lap fence panels come in?
Our lap panels are 6ft (1.83m) wide and available in heights from 3ft to 6ft. Six foot panels are the usual choice for rear garden privacy, while lower heights suit front boundaries and divisions within a garden.

What makes your lap panels stronger than standard ones?
Unlike many budget panels, ours are fully framed with five vertical battens on each side and finished with finely sawn slats that have straight edges. The result is a lap panel that resists flexing, looks smarter and lasts longer.

Are lap panels pressure treated?
Yes. Every panel is pressure treated in our own plant and available in green or brown, using timber from FSC certified sustainable sources. No further treatment is needed at installation.

Do lap panels come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every lap fence panel we manufacture carries a 10 year product guarantee against manufacturing defects, so you can buy with complete confidence.

Do I need gravel boards with lap panels?
We strongly recommend them. Sitting your panels on gravel boards keeps the timber clear of wet soil, which is the main cause of rot at the base of a fence, and makes future panel replacement far easier.
