Fence Panels in Cheltenham and Gloucestershire
Walford Timber has manufactured and supplied quality fencing since 1945. Our fence panels are built to last, treated for the British climate and backed by a 10 year guarantee, so whether you are replacing a single panel or fencing a whole boundary, you can buy with confidence. Order online or visit our Cheltenham yard, with collection and local delivery available across the county.
We supply homeowners, builders, landscapers and fencing contractors throughout Cheltenham, Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Stroud, Cirencester and the surrounding area. Every panel is pressure-treated in our own British sawmill, which means consistent quality, honest prices and expert advice whenever you need it.
Our Fence Panel Range
We stock a wide choice of timber fence panels to suit every garden, budget and style. Here is how the main types compare.
Lap fence panels
Lap panels are our most popular choice and a cost-effective way to fence a garden. Overlapping horizontal boards are fixed to a sturdy frame to give a clean, traditional finish with good privacy. They are quick and easy to install, pressure-treated, and supplied with a 10-year guarantee. Lap panels suit most domestic boundaries where you want a smart, affordable fence. Prices start from £25.76.
Closeboard Fence Panels
Closeboard panels, sometimes called feather-edge panels, are the strongest and most private option we make. Vertical feather-edge boards are fixed to solid rails to create a heavy-duty panel that stands up well to exposed and windy sites. Because they are built board by board, individual boards can be replaced over time, which makes closeboard an excellent long-term investment for a boundary that needs to last. Prices start from £31.52.
Trellis Panels
Trellis panels are a decorative way to add height, define an area or support climbing plants. Use them on their own as a light screen, or fit a trellis topper above a solid panel to lift the height of a boundary while still letting light through. They are a popular finishing touch that adds character to any garden.
Slatted and Contemporary Panels
For a modern look, slatted panels use evenly spaced timber slats to create a clean, architectural finish. Double-sided designs look just as good from both gardens, and the gaps between the slats can be planted with climbers or simply left to let light and air move through.
Made-to-Measure Fence Panels
Not every space fits a standard panel. We manufacture made-to-measure panels in our own sawmill, so if you have an awkward gap, a sloping boundary or a particular height in mind, we can build a panel to fit. Send our team your measurements, and we will prepare a quote.
How to choose the right fence panel
The best panel for you depends on how much privacy you want, the look you are after, and how exposed your garden is. As a simple guide:
- For privacy and durability on an exposed boundary, choose closeboard.
- For a smart and affordable garden fence, choose lap panels.
- For decoration, extra height or climbing plants, choose a trellis.
- For a contemporary finish, choose slatted panels.
Whichever style you pick, pair your panels with matching posts and gravel boards to protect the timber and keep the fence standing for years. Our team is always happy to talk through the options and help you get it right the first time.
Updating, repairing or replacing your fence panels can completely transform your outdoor space as well as make it safe and secure. All of our timber fence panels are pressure-treated for durability and peace of mind once installed. Pressure-treated fence panels are also sometimes called tanalised fence panels, which is an industrial treatment process that ensures the fence panels last a long time compared to dipped or untreated panels.
Professional installation of your fence panels
If you do not want to install your fence panels yourself, we can help put you in touch with our local network of fencing installers and contractors who will do everything for you.
Guarantee A guarantee that matters
All our fence panels come with a 10-year product guarantee against manufacturing defects and fungal decay.
Fence panels with concrete posts
Fence panels slide into pre-made channels in concrete posts and should be installed a minimum of 50mm above the ground to deter moisture damage. If you do not want a gap under your fence panel then consider using a gravel board as extra protection.
Fence panels with timber
Fence panels should be fixed with screws or galvanised nails or with the aid of specialist clips. The fence panel again should be installed a minimum of 50mm above the ground or on top of a gravel board to deter moisture damage. If your post has been cut to size make sure the cut end is not put in the ground to minimise the risk of moisture ingress. You can find out more about how fence panels have been used in fantastic domestic garden projects here.

Fence Panel Sizes and How Many You Need
Most of our fence panels are 6ft (1.83m) wide, with heights ranging from 6ft (1.83m) down to 3ft (0.91m), plus smaller sizes for low boundaries. To work out how many you need, measure the total length of your boundary and divide it by the width of a panel, remembering to allow for a post between each one. If you would like a hand, our guide on how many fence panels you need walks you through it step by step, and our size guide explains exactly how big a standard panel is.
Made to Last, Treatment and Guarantees
Every timber fence panel we sell is pressure-treated to protect it against rot and fungal decay and comes with a 10-year guarantee. For the posts that hold your fence up, our PermaTimber posts carry a 15 year guarantee against wood-destroying insects and fungal decay. All of our timber is FSC certified, so you can be confident it is responsibly sourced. Maintained with an occasional coat of wood paint or preserver, a good fence will look after your garden for many years.
Posts, Gravel Boards and Fittings
A fence panel is only as good as what holds it up. We stock everything you need to complete the job, including timber, concrete and DuraPost metal posts, gravel boards to keep panels clear of the ground, and a full range of caps, brackets and fixings. Choosing the right posts and gravel boards protects your investment and keeps your fence standing straight for longer.

What sizes do fence panels come in? Most panels are 6ft (1.83m) wide, with heights from 6ft (1.83m) down to 3ft (0.91m). If you need something outside these sizes, we make panels to measure in our own sawmill.
How many fence panels do I need? Measure the length of your boundary and divide it by the width of a panel, allowing for a post between each one. Our step-by-step guide makes the calculation simple.
