Pressure Treated Smooth Battens 15 × 44 mm – Grade A are high-quality fencing slats designed specifically for modern horizontal slatted fencing, garden screening and trellis-style projects. Also commonly referred to as landscaping battens, these fencing slats are widely used by landscapers, garden designers and DIY customers across the UK thanks to their excellent finish, consistency and outstanding value for money.
Premium Scandinavian Redwood – Grade A Quality
These fencing slats are manufactured from joinery-grade Scandinavian Redwood, the highest available grade for this timber species. Grade A redwood is carefully selected for its superior appearance and performance, offering:
fewer knots,
straighter lengths,
minimal surface imperfections,
a clean, tight and attractive grain.
This higher grade makes a noticeable difference once installed, especially on slatted fencing where every batten remains visible. We use these same battens to manufacture our own horizontal slatted fence panels, so quality is non-negotiable.
Smooth Planed Finish with Eased Corners
Each batten is smooth planed (PAR) on all sides, providing a refined, contemporary appearance that works equally well in modern and traditional gardens. The corners are gently eased, improving both aesthetics and handling while reducing the risk of splintering during installation.
The smooth finish also makes these battens ideal for painting, staining or oiling if a decorative finish is required in the future.
Pressure Treated for Long-Lasting Outdoor Use
All battens are pressure treated, providing excellent protection against rot, decay and insect attack. This treatment makes them perfectly suited for long-term external use in the UK climate.
Initially, the timber may display a green tint from the treatment process. This is completely normal and, over time, the colour naturally fades to a soft golden brown, allowing the natural beauty of the redwood to come through. This weathering effect is particularly attractive on slatted fencing and garden screens.
Ideal for Horizontal Slatted Fencing (DIY Friendly)
Pressure treated fencing slats are a popular choice for DIY horizontal slatted fencing, especially when upgrading an existing fence. A common method is to fix the battens horizontally to existing posts or rails to instantly create a clean, modern look.
Installation tips:
Battens can be fixed to timber or concrete posts (using a timber fixing rail where required).
Vertical support rails should be installed behind the battens at regular intervals to prevent sagging.
A nail gun with stainless steel brads is recommended for fixing, as they are discreet and provide long-lasting, rust-free performance.
Stainless steel fixings are essential for exterior timber to avoid staining and corrosion over time.
Versatile Landscaping Applications
These smooth treated battens are extremely versatile and suitable for a wide range of outdoor projects, including:
horizontal slatted fencing,
garden screening and privacy panels,
trellis panels,
decorative garden features,
cladding over existing fences,
contemporary landscaping designs.
Their clean lines and consistent dimensions make them a favourite choice for both professional landscapers and home improvers.
