Venetian hit and miss slatted fence cladding in 22mm x 75mm planed square edge redwood gives a clean, contemporary look for garden screening and boundary fencing. Pressure treated against rot and insect attack, each length is ready to fix vertically or horizontally in hit and miss arrangements.

Specifications

What it's used for

• Garden boundary fencing in hit and miss or close-board Venetian panel arrangements
• Decorative screening for bin stores, air conditioning units, and utility areas
• Timber cladding on garden sheds, summerhouses, and outbuildings
• Contemporary horizontal or vertical fence panel infills on steel or timber frames

Fitting and handling

Store lengths flat and off the ground under cover for at least 48 hours before fixing to allow the timber to acclimatise to site conditions, which helps reduce movement after installation. Fix using stainless steel or hot-dipped galvanised screws to avoid corrosion staining on the treated surface, leaving a consistent gap between alternate slats to achieve the hit and miss effect. Once fitted, apply a suitable exterior wood stain or paint to all cut ends and faces to extend the life of the treatment and maintain appearance.

FAQ

Can I paint or stain Venetian hit and miss cladding after fitting?

Yes. The planed square edge surface takes paint and exterior wood stain well. Allow any surface moisture to dry fully before applying your chosen finish, and make sure all cut ends are treated with an end-grain preservative or sealant at the time of cutting.

Is this cladding suitable for ground contact or raised bed borders?

No. This product is specified for above-ground external use only. For applications where timber will be in direct contact with soil or standing water, you would need a higher use class treatment. Speak to the team at Nottage Timber Merchants if you need advice on the right product for ground-contact work.

How many lengths do I need for a hit and miss fence panel?

For a standard hit and miss arrangement on a 1.8m wide bay, you typically need around 12 to 14 lengths of 75mm cladding depending on your chosen gap. Measuring your total fence run and calculating slat count against panel width before ordering helps avoid shortfall.
