The Story
Hutton Diamond Trellis Panels are a classic garden lattice screen made from slow-grown, joinery-grade Scandinavian redwood, machined to 35mm x 18mm battens. Available in three heights to suit most garden situations, each panel is pressure treated for long-term outdoor use and backed by a 15-year rot and insect warranty.

What it's used for
- Fence topper panels fitted above close-board or feather-edge fencing to add height and airflow without blocking light
- Garden privacy screens fixed between posts to divide borders, patios, or seating areas
- Climbing plant support for roses, clematis, or wisteria trained against a wall or fence
- Standalone decorative garden features as a backdrop to raised beds or garden ornaments
Fitting and handling
Allow panels to acclimatise outside, out of direct rain, for 24 to 48 hours before fixing. Secure using galvanised or stainless steel screws and brackets to avoid rust staining the treated timber. A coat of exterior wood stain or fence paint after installation will improve long-term appearance and surface protection, particularly on cut ends.
FAQ
What is the difference between a diamond trellis and a square trellis panel?
Diamond trellis panels have the lattice set at 45 degrees, giving the classic diagonal pattern. Square trellis has the battens running horizontally and vertically. The diamond pattern is traditionally more decorative, while square trellis tends to give a more structured, contemporary look.
Can I paint or stain Hutton Diamond Trellis Panels?
Yes. The TANALITH E treatment does not prevent painting or staining. Allow the panels to dry fully after delivery, then apply any good-quality exterior wood stain or fence paint. Pay particular attention to any cut ends, which should be treated with an end-grain preservative before finishing.
Are these panels suitable for use as a fence topper above an existing fence?
Yes, fence toppers are one of the most common uses. Fix the trellis panel directly to the top of existing fence posts using galvanised brackets or by screwing through the frame into the post. Check that your combined fence and trellis height complies with any local planning or permitted development guidelines before installation.
