Made-to-measure POLO fence slat, matt graphite or brown

A fence should mark the boundary and keep its appearance without frequent refinishing of timber parts. Metal slats have a steel base with a protective finish already applied. Spaced slats give a light-looking fence bay, and the colour range includes woodgrain effects. They are suitable for homes, commercial premises and refurbishment of existing fences.

Forming the sheet gives a lightweight slat its stiffness. This helps when assembling long fence runs and limits the weight carried by each bay. Zinc and polyester coatings help protect the steel from corrosion. A double-sided finish on models so specified looks neat from both street and garden. The slats need no timber preservative. Clean the surface and inspect the coating to keep it in good condition.

Wood-effect versions combine a warm grain with a metal base. They do not need periodic timber treatment against biological decay, which saves time on large properties with many slats. Solid colours can match a gate, roof or window frames. Where the chosen profile offers a choice, straight or rounded ends can complement contemporary or traditional architecture.

Profiles, ends and lengths can be selected for the style of the fence. By setting the gaps you control views, light and screening. Use an open frontage for the garden or closer spacing for a service area. Lengths suited to each bay reduce cutting. Repeating the same form makes the whole boundary look regular. Open slats preserve views of planting and avoid the visual weight of a solid masonry boundary.

On a refurbishment, replace just the infill if the existing posts and frames are fit for reuse. This directs spending to the parts that most affect appearance and function. Individually fixed slats also allow work in stages and local replacement of damaged pieces where the fixing system permits. Matching profiles, brackets and fasteners can be selected together.
