Fence Panels

Pre-Built Fence Panels

WRCLA Cedar Outdoor

Western Red Cedar fences of many styles are available in pre-built panels from 3 ft. to 6 ft. high. The boards may be plain, V-jointed tongue and groove, or channel patterns. Construction is usually 2x4 in. rails and 1x6 in. boards.

Boards are usually butted tightly together but panels with spaced boards are also available. These time-saving fence sections are sold by the panel. You are advised to carefully examine fence panels to ensure that they are built from suitable quality Western Red Cedar boards and are sturdily assembled with corrosion-resistant fasteners. When using pre-built fence panels it is important that you check the dimensions before installation. Good practice is to set posts and panels one at a time rather than pre-setting all posts.

Pre-Built Lattice Panels

Western Red Cedar lattice panels are an alternative or an addition to a solid Western Red Cedar board fence. Rough or smooth-sawn lattice is available pre-built in a choice of square or diagonal patterns in modular sizes to match the most common pre-built fence panels and post spacing. A lattice fence offers less wind resistance than a solid fence and allows sunlight into shady garden areas. The degree of privacy is governed by the obscurity ratio of the latticework.

Clear Western Red Cedar lattice is one popular option but lattice manufactured from Western Red Cedar with sound tight knots is both economical and good quality. When purchasing lattice, you should make sure that it is well-manufactured from good quality Western Red Cedar of adequate thickness and that it has been correctly assembled. Heavier lattice panels are usually assembled with staples only and require no perimeter framing. Thinner lath lattice may be assembled with exterior-type glue and/or with staples. Lath lattice should be framed around its perimeter. The better quality lath lattice is stapled such that the crown of the staple is flush or countersunk in the wood and the points of the staple do not penetrate the face of the panel.
