Forest Premium Lap Panel

Forest Premium Lap Panel

The Forest Premium Lap Panel offers the perfect combination of strength, durability and modern style, making it an excellent choice for creating secure and attractive garden boundaries. Featuring a straight-edge overlap design, this premium fence panel delivers a cleaner and more contemporary appearance than traditional waney-edge panels while maintaining the privacy and practicality expected from a classic lap panel. Unlike standard dip-treated fencing, the Forest Premium Lap Panel is pressure treated for deeper, longer-lasting protection against rot and fungal decay. This low-maintenance treatment is backed by a 15-Year Anti-Rot Guarantee, providing peace of mind and reducing the need for frequent preservative treatments.

Built for Strength & Long-Term Performance

Manufactured with a robust 38mm timber frame, the Premium Lap Panel is reinforced with four vertical strengthening battens across the rear to provide excellent rigidity and stability. The fully framed construction is completed with a protective top panel cap, helping to strengthen the panel while creating a neat, professional finish. Thanks to its pressure-treated construction, the panel can be installed with or without gravel boards, giving you greater flexibility during installation while maintaining excellent durability in outdoor conditions.

Made in the UK from Sustainable Timber

Manufactured in the United Kingdom using FSC-certified timber and other responsibly controlled sources, the Forest Premium Lap Panel combines outstanding quality with environmentally responsible sourcing. Available in four different heights, the panel is suitable for everything from decorative front garden boundaries to full-height privacy fencing, making it a versatile solution for gardens of all sizes.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:

We recommend ordering an additional 10% of roof tiles to allow for any breakages that may occur during delivery or handling. Roof tiles are naturally fragile, and having a few extra on site helps prevent delays and ensures your roofing project can be completed without interruption.
