Sample slat for steel fencing, MARIKA, gloss graphite or brown

The fence defines the boundary you see every time you return home. Metal slats let you choose its rhythm, colour and transparency. SteelProfil offers components for fence bays and other intended fencing applications. Owners can match a neat appearance with a practical material appropriate to the way the property is used.

Slat spacing determines how much of the garden can be seen. Plan a more open or more enclosed layout within the limits of the structure and site. Compare the colour with the roof, gate and windows. A repeated slat shape makes long runs look regular and helps adapt each bay to the line of the boundary.

Metal fence slats have a formed section and a coating suited to their intended exposure. Available finishes include timber effects. They give a decorative grain without the oiling common with natural boards. Follow the coating manufacturer’s care instructions and finish joints neatly to preserve the appearance of the fence.

SteelProfil offers promotional prices that can help fit a fence into the budget for other work around the house. Some materials are available from stock. We check the precise lengths and finishes for your order. Our sheet and panel ranges include first and second grade. For parts seen from the street, assess the surface condition and consistency of the batch especially carefully.

Start with the vehicle gate, pedestrian gate and length of each run. Use these measurements to set out the posts and slat quantities, keeping spacing consistent at the ends. Allow for sloping ground and decide how the bottom line of the bays will follow it. Accurate measurements make installation easier and reduce unplanned cuts that can spoil the frontage.

Slats work with their rails and fixings, so specify the full assembly. Suitable connections help retain the geometry and neat spacing. Plan junctions with walls, gates and other structures at the same time. We can help compare materials against the layout so the order covers what the installation actually needs and achieves the intended finish.

Consider the view from the street and from the seating area in the garden. Metal slats can form a consistent boundary without overwhelming the greenery or the house. Spacing, colour and neat ends all make a difference. SteelProfil can help select the materials for a fence that works in everyday use and sits well in its surroundings.
