Omega Lattice Decorative Fence Panel
Pressure treated green, these decorative fence panels are built to last but give a stylish look around your garden.
If you are changing from tradition lap panel fencing or closeboard fencing but keeping your existing fence posts, you will also need to purchase the Euro fence panel conversion kit. These are simply two battens, which are attached one either side of the Omega Lattice fence panel to make it slightly wider from the 1.80m wide to the standard 1.83m wide panel.
For those seeking a more decorative touch from a fencing company in Kent, Round Top Omega Lattice panels (often referred to as Continental or European decorative panels) are an exquisite choice.
These panels combine a premium, contemporary aesthetic with a functional design that is perfect for the varied landscapes of the South East.
What are Round Top Omega Lattice Panels?
These panels are easily identified by their elegant, wave-like "Omega" curve at the top and an integrated diamond lattice trellis. The lower section consists of high-quality horizontal slats, creating a sophisticated "hit and miss" effect.
Why They Are Perfect for Kentish Gardens
Dual-Faced Design: Unlike traditional fencing, these panels are identical on both sides. This makes them the perfect "neighbour-friendly" choice for shared boundaries in residential areas like Tunbridge Wells or Sevenoaks.
Wind Resistance: The "hit and miss" slat construction and open lattice top allow air to flow through the panel. This significantly reduces wind loading, making them ideal for exposed gardens on the North Downs or coastal properties in Deal and Hythe.
Support for Climbing Plants: The integrated diamond lattice isn't just for show—it's a sturdy support for Kent’s famous climbing roses, clematis, or jasmine, helping you create a "living wall" effect.
Light and Airy: The lattice top allows sunlight to filter into your garden, preventing the "boxed-in" feeling that solid 6ft panels can sometimes create.
The Benefits of Pressure Treated Green Timber
When you order these panels, ensure they are Pressure Treated Green (also known as Tanalised). This is the best specification for the UK climate.
Tanalised Protection Preservatives are forced deep into the wood grain under vacuum pressure.
15-Year Life Expectancy Provides long-term resistance against rot, fungal decay, and insect attack.
Natural Green Tint The subtle green hue is an organic result of the copper-based treatment; it blends perfectly with garden foliage and eventually silver-ages into a natural honey-brown.
Smooth Planed Finish Most Omega panels are planed smooth, reducing the risk of splinters and giving a high-end, furniture-grade feel.
Installation & Sizing Tips
Standard Widths: These panels are typically manufactured to a 1.8m width (European standard). If your existing concrete posts are set at 6ft (1.83m), your fencing contractor will simply add "extension battens" to ensure a perfect, snug fit.
Height Measurements: Remember that the height is measured to the highest point of the "Omega" curve; the shoulder height is usually about 20cm lower.
Stainless Steel Fixings: High-quality Omega panels use stainless steel screws and fixings to prevent "rust bleeding," which can leave unsightly dark streaks on the light-colored timber
