At Covers, there is a range of different products for you. From lap panels, featheredge, and the more popular garden screening to fencing accessories.

When buying new fencing, if you know the style of fence you intend to buy, then you’re halfway there. There are a few things to consider:

  • Height: whether the type of fencing you are looking for is to help keep your outdoor space secluded or purely for a decorative purpose.
  • Length: ensuring you know the amount of timber required, including the area’s measurements.  

Fence Panels

When looking at our Fence Panels, you’ll see we offer a whole range of colours and styles.

Lap Panels

Constructed from a timber framework with slats slotted horizontally, overlapping slightly to create a solid boundary without gaps or holes.

A popular style, available in various heights and widths to suit any garden or outdoor space. Lap fencing provides an attractive background and can usually be painted or treated to preference.

At Covers, we offer a few treatments from, Pressure Treated in Golden Brown, Green and Dark Brown to protect against wood rot and fungal decay.

Featheredge Panels

For a traditional feel and added security, our high-pressure treated featheredge panels will create strong and sturdy garden enclosures protected from rot and decay.

Featheredge is a popular style which offers privacy while being strong and secure. Quick to install, they have vertical planks of wood overlapping on the edge that create the typical featheredge look, whilst horizontal battens across the back add stability to ensure that fencing is rigid and durable.

Available in a range of widths and heights to suit most gardens.

Closeboard Panels

Closeboard fence panels are designed with vertical boards that partially overlap. A heavy-duty framework provides stability and security. Closeboard fencing provides a smart and contemporary look to a property.

Decorative Panels

With a range of different designs to choose from, our stylish Lattice and Trellis panels they're the perfect way to add the final flourish to your garden.

Lattice panels can create an attractive border and additional privacy in a garden. Usually constructed with a criss-cross pattern at the top of the panel, this can provide a decorative feature that doesn't block out sunlight and can be used to support plants. Available in either horizontal or vertical panels.

Trellis panels are another beautiful addition to any outside area. Fasten them onto your wall or fence and plant climbing plants at the base. Then enjoy your colourful display as it grows up the trellis.

Garden Screening

Need to disguise a boring wall? Screening Battens are an ideal choice of wood to use as garden screening, fencing and cladding, as well as for a variety of other landscaping applications. The highly desirable slatted screens produce visually interesting lines and shadows that bring plenty of texture and character to an outdoor space.
