MARIKA metal fencing slat in gloss graphite or brown, made to measure

A fence marks the boundary and often defines the first view of a property. Metal slats can be coordinated with the house, gate and garden. Open bays leave views through, while closer spacing screens selected areas. At SteelProfil we can help choose a profile, colour and layout for the way you use the space.

Slat width, spacing and arrangement determine visibility through a fence. You might keep the front open and screen a seating area more closely. Decide this before calculating the number of slats per bay. Layouts can vary around the boundary while a common profile and colour keep the fence consistent.

Models differ in their profile and end shape. Depending on the system, selected slats can be laid vertically or horizontally. Vertical spacing suits a traditional fence, while horizontal lines can emphasise a contemporary design. Choose the profile with the existing gate and house in view.

Coated steel slats are available in single colours and wood-inspired finishes. A dark finish complements modern window frames; a warmer pattern can tie the fence into the garden. Look at the posts and fixings alongside the slats to see how the complete assembly will appear.

Metal slats suit new fences and refitting existing bays where the supporting structure is appropriate. You can replace just the infill or build the entire fence. Choosing lengths and spacing carefully helps use the material well and keep the line regular, including when renovating a long boundary in stages.

The coating provides colour and protection outdoors. Suitable fixings, careful handling during installation and care in accordance with the product instructions help maintain the finish. The slats can give the chosen appearance without constructing a conventional timber infill.

SteelProfil supplies selected items from stock. Its wider range includes first- and second-grade sheet and building products. For fencing we check model, length and surface condition for the intended location. Promotional offers can help with costs. Include the necessary fixings when calculating the total order.

Measure the bays and decide how much space to leave between slats. We can help work out the layout and quantity, whether you are updating the front boundary, screening a seating area or restoring an older fence. Choose a rhythm and colour that work from the street and the garden.
