What it's used for
- Front garden boundaries where a traditional, open-style fence is preferred over solid close-board panels
- Pathway and driveway edging to define routes without blocking light or sightlines
- Pet and child containment in domestic gardens where a low-to-mid height barrier is sufficient
- Decorative landscaping around flower beds, vegetable plots and cottage-style garden schemes
Fitting and handling
Store panels flat and off the ground on a level surface before installation, keeping them covered if left outside for more than a day or two. Fix each panel between timber fence posts using galvanised or stainless steel fixings to prevent rust staining on the treated timber. Although the panels arrive pressure treated, any cut ends made on site should be coated with an end-grain preservative to maintain the integrity of the treatment and comply with best practice guidance.
FAQ
Are these picket fence panels suitable for a front garden boundary in the UK?
Yes. The 1800 x 1200mm size works well as a front garden fence where planning rules often restrict solid boundary fencing to 1 metre on the road-facing side. At 1200mm high, always check your local authority guidelines before installation, particularly near a highway.
What does pressure treated with TANALITH E mean, and how long will the panels last?
TANALITH E is a water-based copper preservative that is forced deep into the timber fibres under pressure. It protects against fungal rot and insect attack. Hutton back these panels with a 15-year treated-right performance warranty, meaning when correctly installed the timber should remain structurally sound for at least that period.
Do I need to paint or stain picket fence panels after fitting?
It is not strictly necessary, as the TANALITH E treatment provides protective performance without a topcoat. However, applying a compatible fence stain or paint in your chosen colour will improve appearance and can extend the panel's service life further. Allow the timber to dry fully after delivery before applying any finish.
