6×5 Waney Lap

6×5 waney lap fence panel

6×5 waney lap fence panel designed to provide a practical, cost-effective fencing solution while maintaining a traditional garden appearance. Manufactured using quality timber and finished with a Dipped Gold treatment, this panel is ideal for garden boundaries, side passages, and property divisions where a slightly reduced height is required, particularly when used with gravel boards.

The 6×5 waney lap fence panel is a popular alternative to standard 6×6 panels, especially for customers installing fencing on concrete or timber gravel boards. In many cases, a full 6ft panel is unnecessary once a gravel board is added, and choosing a 6×5 panel allows you to achieve the correct finished height without oversizing or cutting panels down on site.

Waney lap fencing is well known for its traditional horizontal-board design. The overlapping boards create a tidy and familiar appearance that suits a wide range of garden styles and property types. Compared to close-boarded fencing, waney lap panels offer a lighter construction, making them easier to handle and install, particularly over longer fence runs or for DIY projects.

Each 6×5 waney lap fence panel is treated using a Dipped Gold process, providing protection against rot, fungal decay, and insect attack. This treatment helps extend the life of the timber and makes the panel suitable for outdoor use in typical British weather conditions. While all timber will naturally weather over time, the treatment ensures the panel remains structurally sound for everyday garden use.

One of the key advantages of choosing this panel is flexibility. Although supplied as a 6×5 waney lap fence panel, it can also be manufactured to alternative widths where required. This is particularly useful where posts are not set at standard centres or where fencing runs include awkward gaps or changes in ground level. Ordering the correct width helps achieve a cleaner finish, reduces waste, and avoids unnecessary trimming during installation.

The 6×5 height is especially useful when fencing is installed on gravel boards, as it allows the finished fence line to sit neatly without appearing oversized. Many customers automatically select a 6×6 panel when a 6×5 panel would be more appropriate for their setup. Choosing the correct panel height results in a more professional appearance and can also offer better value.

The 6×5 waney lap fence panel is suitable for use with both timber and concrete posts and can be installed as part of a new fencing project or used as a replacement panel. Its lighter construction makes it easier to lift and position, while still providing a consistent and tidy boundary once installed correctly with appropriate fixings.

Visually, waney lap fencing offers a softer and more open appearance than close-boarded alternatives. The horizontal boards allow small gaps for airflow, which can help reduce wind pressure on the fence line. This makes the 6×5 waney lap fence panel a practical choice for more sheltered gardens or areas where full privacy is not essential.

For customers who require increased strength, privacy, or durability, we also offer feather edge fence panels as an upgrade option. Featheredge fencing features vertical close-boarded construction and heavier framing, making it better suited for exposed locations or areas where a more solid fence line is required. Many customers choose waney lap fencing for budget-friendly runs and featheredge panels where maximum robustness is needed.

All 6×5 waney lap fence panels are manufactured with care and checked before leaving our workshop to ensure consistent build quality. While this panel is designed as a lighter-duty option, we still focus on producing fencing that is reliable, well finished, and fit for purpose.

If you’re looking for a traditional fencing solution that offers good value, flexible sizing, and a clean garden appearance, the 6×5 waney lap fence panel is a practical and dependable choice. With Dipped Gold treatment, made-to-measure options, and compatibility with gravel boards and a wide range of installations, it provides a straightforward solution for many fencing projects.
