Creating privacy in your garden doesn't mean sacrificing style. With the right materials, you can create a secluded, modern outdoor space that looks just as good as it functions. One of the most effective and attractive ways to add privacy is by using timber fence screen slats, part of our timber cladding range.
Whether you're looking to block views from neighbouring properties, shield a patio, or define separate areas within your garden, timber slatted screening offers a sleek, versatile solution.
Why Choose Timber Fence Screen Slats?
Timber slats provide a natural, warm finish that blends beautifully with garden landscapes. Unlike solid fence panels, slatted screens create a sense of privacy without completely blocking out light or airflow, striking the ideal balance between enclosure and openness.
At Harlow Bros, our timber screen slats are precision-cut, durable, and available in a range of sizes to suit your fencing or cladding project.
Create Full Privacy Screens
The most direct use of fence slats is to build a standalone privacy screen. This could be alongside a boundary, near a seating area, or beside a hot tub. Using slats mounted vertically or horizontally with narrow gaps in between gives a clean, modern appearance while still offering sufficient coverage.
For a denser screen, simply reduce the spacing between the slats or opt for overlapping boards. With pressure-treated timber, your screen will be built to withstand the elements and last for years with minimal upkeep.
Add Privacy to Patios and Decking
Timber slats can also be used to create partial privacy around patios, terraces, or raised decking areas. Installing a timber screen on one or two sides of a seating space provides shelter from wind and unwanted views while keeping the area open and airy.
You can fix the slats to timber posts, a pergola frame, or a boundary wall, depending on the layout of your garden. It's a great way to enhance both comfort and design.
Use Slats for Zoning and Structure
Beyond boundary screening, timber slats are excellent for creating defined zones in larger gardens. Use them to separate a dining area from a lawn or to shield bins, sheds, or storage spaces. The clean lines of the slats add structure and improve the overall layout of your outdoor space.
Both vertical and horizontal slat arrangements work well, your choice may depend on whether you want to create the illusion of height or width.
