Description
Product Overview
Brown UC3 pressure-treated softwood horizontal lap panel, measuring 1830mm x 1525mm (6’ x 5’). The overlapping horizontal slats shed rainwater quickly, reducing standing moisture on the surface and helping to limit weathering over time.
Provides full-height screening for 5ft garden fencing. Typically chosen as a cost-effective alternative to feather edge panels, it can be fixed to timber posts with clips or screws or slotted into concrete posts.
