Replace an old fence or cover walls with slatted battens<\/h2>\n

Tired brick or render dragging down the look of your garden? Create a sleek, modern screen using slatted battens and provide an instant upgrade to your outdoor space.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Measure your area<\/strong> \u2013 Decide how tall and wide your screen needs to be and measure the space.<\/li>\n
  2. Fix vertical battens<\/strong> \u2013 Start by attaching vertical supports to the wall or existing fence using masonry or wood fixings. These will act as the frame for your slats.<\/li>\n
  3. Add horizontal slats<\/strong> \u2013 Fix the slatted battens directly across the vertical battens with screws, spacing them evenly using offcuts or spacers for a uniform gap.<\/li>\n
  4. Treat<\/strong> – Finish with a wood treatment such as Ronseal One Coat Fence Life<\/a><\/strong> for longevity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This technique works especially well for small courtyard gardens, giving you a contemporary feature wall with minimal effort.<\/p>\n
