Choosing Slat Spacing and Material
The spacing between slats defines the look and function of your fence. Tight spacing maximises privacy and screening, while wider gaps let light and breeze through — popular for front boundaries and pool surrounds where you want style without a solid wall.
Timber slats bring natural warmth and can be stained to any tone; powder-coated aluminium slats deliver a crisp, uniform finish with almost no maintenance. We help you choose based on your home's style and how much upkeep you want.
Where Vertical Fencing Works Best
Vertical slat fencing suits modern new builds, renovated villas with a contemporary extension, courtyard screening, and feature entrance walls. It's equally effective as a full boundary fence or as a shorter decorative screen to hide bins, heat pumps, or service areas.
