In the UK, the general rule is that a fence or privacy screen can be up to 2 metres high without planning permission, as long as it’s not in the front garden. If it’s near a road or pavement, the height limit is usually 1 metre. Always check with your local council if you’re unsure.

Cutting slatwall panels is simple with the right tools. Use a circular saw or a fine-tooth handsaw for straight, clean cuts. Measure and mark your panel carefully before cutting, and if your slat wall has a backing, be careful not to split it.

Installing wood slat wall panels is a straightforward DIY project and can be done in two main ways: wall mounted or freestanding with posts. For wall mounting, start by marking out your desired area and checking for any uneven spots. Fix timber battens to the wall if needed for a secure base, then apply adhesive to the back of each panel and press it into place. For added strength, you can also use screws or nails, just be sure to use a spirit level to keep everything straight.

Choose a wood paint or stain suitable for outdoor use. Start by cleaning the surface and sanding any rough areas. Use a brush or sprayer to apply your paint, ensuring all gaps between the slats are reached. You may need a second coat for full coverage. Let it dry thoroughly between coats for the best finish.

Screening your garden can be done in a few stylish and practical ways. Slatted fence panels, tall planting or freestanding privacy screens are all great options. You can also add height to an existing fence with a trellis. Discover where you need privacy most, then choose a solution that complements your outdoor space.
