FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of each panel?
Each panel has approximate dimensions of Width 182.8cm (1828mm) x Height 31.6cm (316mm) x Depth 3.2cm (32mm). The timber laths are approximately 32mm x 16mm with gaps of approximately 18mm.
How long will the pressure treatment last?
The Tanalith E pressure treatment provides maximum protection against rot, decay, and harsh UK weather conditions, significantly extending the lifespan of the timber.
Can I cut these panels to size?
While possible, cutting pressure-treated timber can expose untreated wood. If cut, it is recommended to treat the exposed edges with an appropriate end-grain preserver.
Is this product suitable for coastal areas?
The pressure treatment offers protection against decay and rot, making it suitable for general outdoor use. However, for extremely harsh coastal conditions, additional protective treatments may be advisable.
What is the purpose of the green flecks?
The green flecks are a visual indicator of the Tanalith E pressure treatment process. They are a natural part of the treatment and will fade over time.
How should I prepare the panels before painting?
After installation, wait 6-8 weeks for the timber to dry. Lightly sand the surface if necessary and apply a quality exterior wood paint or stain suitable for pressure-treated timber.
Are these panels sold individually?
No, these Tuscany Vertical Slatted Fence Panels are conveniently sold in a pack of five.
Troubleshooting
Panel appears warped or bowed
Timber naturally expands and contracts. Ensure panels are installed with slight clearance and not rigidly fixed in place. If severe, contact customer support.
Green flecks visible on the wood
This is a common characteristic of Tanalith E pressure treatment. The flecks are harmless and will fade over time. No action is required.
Paint or treatment not adhering properly
Ensure you have waited the recommended 6-8 weeks post-installation before applying any finishes. The timber needs to be sufficiently dry.
Difficulty securing the panel
Use appropriate, heavy-duty fixings suitable for timber and your mounting surface (wall, post, etc.). Ensure fixings are long enough to provide a secure hold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine the desired location for the panels. Ensure the ground is level if installing as stand-alone panels.
- If mounting on walls or existing fences, use appropriate fixings suitable for your wall type and the panel weight.
- For stand-alone installation, consider using fence posts and concrete for secure anchoring.
- Allow for natural timber movement; do not force panels into tight spaces.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with most standard fence posts and fixing hardware.
- Suitable for use with climbing plants.
- Can be integrated with existing fencing solutions as toppers or dividers.
Care:
- Post-Installation Treatment: Wait 6-8 weeks after installation before applying any paint, stain, or wood preservative. This allows the timber to dry sufficiently for optimal treatment adhesion.
- Maintenance: Periodically inspect for any signs of wear or damage. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Natural Wood: Embrace the natural characteristics of wood. The green flecks will fade over time. Timber will expand and contract with environmental changes.
