Horizontal Lattice Trellis Fence Panel
Fencing doesn’t have to be boring. If you want privacy with a decorative touch, the Hertfordshire fence panels (also called Horizontal Lattice Top Fence Panel) are an excellent choice.
With solid horizontal slats for privacy and a lattice top built-in, this panel lets light in light and airflow while still doing a job of keeping your garden secure. It's an upgrade from standard fencing that works well in most gardens.
The best part is it's fully reversible, meaning theres no chat with the neighbours about who gets the bad side. Need more help with? Take a look at our contemporary fence panel guide.
Let’s take a look at the options.
Why Choose Hertfordshire Panels?
A Balance of Privacy and OpennessMost fences block everything out, which makes your garden feel closed. Others let too much in, which isn’t what a lot of people want.
Horizontal lattice top fence panels strike the perfect balance - you get solid horizontal slats for privacy, plus a 300mm (12 inches) decorative lattice top to still give you that open feel.
A Good Choice For Windy Areas
If you live in a windy location, fully solid fences can act like a sail, putting pressure on your fence posts. The slatted designs of the horizontal lattice top fence panels help reduce wind resistance, letting air pass through while keeping your garden sheltered.
No Arguments Over Who Gets the Good Side
Unlike a lot of fencing, where one side always looks better than the other, these panels are fully reversible. That means you and your neighbour win without arguing about who gets the best-looking side.
Kiln-Dried and Pressure Treated for Durability
A good fence isn’t just about how it looks; it also needs to last. All of our horizontal lattice top fence panels are kiln-dried and pressure-treated, meaning the wood has been carefully dried to reduce moisture content before being treated to resist rot and fungi. This process makes the panels durable, which helps prevent warping or decay.
Rust Resistant Fixings
One common issue with a lot of fences is rusting screws and nails that leave ugly streaks down the wood. Our horizontal lattice top panels are built using stainless steel fixings, which won’t corrode or stain the timber. This means your fence will continue to look as good as new without constant upkeep.
Perfect for Climbing Plants
The lattice top isn’t just for decoration; it's a built-in plant support system. Over time, your fence can become a green wall that adds privacy and character to your garden. Sometimes, a solid fence can feel too rigid, but adding climbing plants softens the look. The 300mm (12 inch) trellis section is the ideal height to let plants spread without taking over.
Gravel Boards - Are They Needed With Horizontal Lattice Top Fence Panels?
Even though horizontal lattice top fence panels are built to last, we strongly recommend using gravel boards. It's a way to protect your investment in expensive fence panels and prolong their life.
You could use concrete gravel boards (our recommended option) or timber gravel boards. It all depends on your budget or your garden's appearance.
Available in Different Heights
Not every garden needs 6ft fencing all around. Hertfordshire panels come in different heights, so you can pick what works best.
- 6ft x 6ft (1800mm x 1800mm) - The most common option people use in their back gardens.
- 6ft x 5ft (1800mm x 1500mm) - This still works well in back gardens, depending on your needs.
- 6ft x 4ft (1800mm x 1200mm) - Most commonly used for front gardens or in your back garden to create sectioned-off areas.

- What is Hertfordshire Fence Panel?A Hertfordshire fence panel is a strong Horizontal Lattice Trellis Fence Panel that lets sun and wind through with a built in trellis at the top. If you do not want the trellis we also sell them without, they are called Staffordshire fence panels.How wide is a Horizontal Lattice Trellis Fence?
Horizontal Lattice Trellis Fence panels are 1800mm wide. They are smaller than a standard British fence panel so if you are changing your panels you will need fence packers to make them the same size.
What sizes do they come in?Horizontal Lattice Trellis Fence Panel come in 4ft, 5ft and 6ftDo I need to treat the fence panels?You will not need to treat your fence panels bought from G&G as they are fully pressure treated but if you want to keep them looking fresh we recommend Barrentine Timber Protector to repel water, protect against UV damage and mould. The Barrentine Timber Protector offers good surface protection due to its wax content, but it's really only suitable for use on pre-treated timber.
What colour do the Horizontal Lattice Trellis fence panels come in?Our Horizontal Lattice Trellis fence panels come fully pressure treated in natural (green).
Are the fence panels treated?Yes, all our fencing and wood is fully pressure treated.Do I need wood or concrete posts?We would recommend concrete fence posts for Horizontal Lattice Trellis Fence Panel. Wood is also a good option if using uc4 treated posts. This will ensure they will last with ground contact. We only sell uc4 treated posts.Can Horizontal Lattice Trellis Fence Panel fence panels be painted?Yes they can! Painting treated fencing wood will not only help you achieve your ideal aesthetic but also gives the wood an additional layer of protection, which is always good.
Most treated timber is still “wet” from the treatment and needs time for the chemicals in the wood to settle and dry. You will notice, the wood is heavy and will still feel damp to the touch. If primer or paint is added to it at this point, there is every likelihood that it will be rejected by the water-based chemicals that are still working their way through the wood.
It is important to allow the timber to dry out fully before attempting to add paint or primer. This can be a lengthy process and may even take up to a few weeks depending on where the wood is stored. If there is too much heat and direct sunlight, this can cause the treated timber to warp instead of dry out. Damp conditions can also prolong the drying-out period.
Can you make a custom size Horizontal Lattice Trellis Fence Panel?No, unfortunately we do not make custom Horizontal Lattice Trellis fence panels but we do sell an extra side rail so you could cut it down yourself.Can I Collect?Yes! We have a warehouse and showroom in Northfleet In Kent.
