If you’re someone who takes a pride in their garden’s appearance, framing it with decorative fence panels can provide the perfect finishing touch. However, with so many types of decorative fencing for sale, choosing the right one for your back garden can be a difficult task.
To help you make the right decision, we’ve spoken to some of our garden fencing experts to gauge their opinions on Britain’s best 6ft decorative fence panels. And after much deliberation, we can now reveal their findings.
So, in reverse order, here are our fencing experts’ 10 Most Stylish 6ft Decorative Fence Panels for 2024…
10. Forest 6 x 6 Straight Cut Overlap Fence Panel (1.83m x 1.83m)
Although overlap fence panels are usually classified as traditional, rather than decorative, fencing, our experts decided to include these 6x6 panels because of their attractive straight-cut boards, which are a stylish, new take on the classic overlap design.
As you can see, thanks to this simple innovation, these 6x6 fence panels are far more attractive than other lap panels, and so enjoy a distinctly decorative feel.
High in quality but low in price, this decorative fencing’s other notable features include a smart perimeter frame, robust supporting battens, and impressive 10-year anti-rot guarantee.
9. Forest 6 x 6 Pressure Treated Decorative Domed Top Fence Panel (1.8m x 1.8m)
These decorative fence panels showcase a hit and miss design, whereby the horizontal slats are alternately mounted either side of vertically-positioned supporting battens.
While this style of fencing provides excellent privacy and security, it also makes for an exceptionally eye-catching appearance. Add in the striking dome-shaped top section, and these 6x6 fence panels unquestionably deserve a place in any decorative fencing hall of fame.
Made from PEFC-certified wood, pressure treated and backed by a 15-year guarantee, these hit and miss fence panels aren’t just stylish, they’re ethically sourced and maintenance free too.
8. Forest 6 x 6 Brown Pressure Treated Vertical Closeboard Fence Panel (1.83m x 1.85m)
The second of our two entries that bridge the gap between traditional and decorative fencing, these closeboard fence panels come in a beautiful shade of deep brown.
Made in Great Britain, from FSC®-certified wood, this decorative fencing consists of thick, vertical overlapping boards, with a fashionable square-cut finish and profiled panel cap.
Pressure treated and supplied with a 15-year anti-rot guarantee, no further treatment is required, saving you money on expensive wood preservative and leaving you more time to relax in your garden.
7. Forest 6 x 6 Kyoto Pressure Treated Decorative Fence Panel (1.8m x 1.8m)
The main body of these decorative fence panels features a hit and miss design, which, as discussed above, combines practical benefits with bags of style.
However, in this case, what sets the panels apart from standard hit and miss fencing is their slatted top section, which adds an extra touch of contemporary style.
Having a slatted top also increases the flow of natural light into your garden, and can be used to support climbing plants, giving you the chance to create a unique garden boundary.
6. Forest 6 x 6 Pressure Treated Europa Hamburg Decorative Garden Screen Panel (1.8m x 1.8m)
On this theme, the best style of decorative fencing to train climbing plants is garden trellis.
Ranked as our sixth best decorative fence panel, this particular trellis screen comes with a diamond-lattice design, scalloped top and sumptuous smooth-planed finish, which combine to make it look that extra bit special.
Pressure treated and backed by a 15-year guarantee, it is a versatile piece of trellis, which is every bit as effective when used to brighten up a brick wall, as it is when forming a fence run.
5. Forest 6 x 6 Contemporary Grey Slatted Fence Panel (1.8m x 1.8m)
Slatted fence panels are probably the most fashionable style of decorative fencing, and when they come with a contemporary anthracite-grey finish, it makes them even more in vogue.
Although slatted panels clearly mark a garden boundary, and provide a certain degree of privacy and security too, they allow more natural light and better airflow into a garden than is possible with traditional fencing, benefitting both you and your plants.
What’s more, as wind can pass between the gaps in the slats, rather than continuously pressing against the wood, slatted panels are an effective form of fencing to use in windy areas.
And with these stunning slatted panels only ranked fifth in this decorative fencing hall of fame, you know there are going to be some extremely impressive decorative fence panels still to come…
4. Forest 6 x 6 Acoustic Noise Reduction Tongue and Groove Fence Panel (1.83m x 1.80m)
There’s no smarter, sleeker, more effective way to join two wooden boards together than through tongue and groove joinery, which is why our decorative fencing experts rate these fence panels so highly.
Not just a pretty face, these extra-thick tongue and groove panels are scientifically proven to reduce noise pollution, so they’re an absolute godsend to anyone who lives near a busy road or has noisy neighbours.
Pressure treated, smooth planed, and supplied with a 15-year anti-rot guarantee, this decorative fencing makes an attractive, yet practical, frame for any garden.
3. Forest 6 x 6 Pressure Treated Contemporary Double Slatted Fence Panel (1.8m x 1.8m)
At the start of the year, these double slatted panels were considered by many to be 2024’s ‘must-have’ style of decorative fencing, so it’s no surprise they’ve made the top three of our experts’ shortlist.
Double slatted fencing provides similar benefits to standard slatted panels, but sacrifices some natural light and airflow for increased privacy and security.
Supplied with a 15-year guarantee, these double slatted panels are expertly constructed from PEFC-certified wood, pressure treated to prevent rot, and come with a beautiful natural-wood finish. They really do have it all.
2. Forest 6 x 6 Paloma Decorative Fence Panel (1.8m x 1.8m)
These incredible 6x6 fence panels combine no less than three styles of decorative fencing, so make an absolutely stunning backdrop to any garden!
The main body of the fence panel is built using a hit and miss design, while the top section consists of diamond trellis with an elegantly-crafted wavey top.
With decorative fencing this good ranked second in our list, you know the winner has to be something special…
