Timber Look Aluminium Slat Fence
The fencing system incorporates modular horizontal timber slat screening panels constructed from engineered hardwood or composite decking material (Australian hardwood or tropical timber species with natural warm amber coloration), assembled within a steel frame structure comprising vertical hollow-section posts with powdercoated matte black finish providing structural support and visual definition. The horizontal slat configuration (approximately 10-15mm spacing between slats) allows controlled visual transparency while maintaining privacy screening, with weather-resistant timber finish capable of withstanding UV degradation and moisture cycling. The base course foundation employs concrete footings or steel ground sleeves anchoring vertical posts to stable bearing capacity substrate, with subsurface anchoring preventing uplift and lateral movement. Multi-panel modular assembly permits straight-run and corner configurations accommodating boundary alignment and grade variations. The lower substrate elevation reveals concrete footings or galvanized metal plinth framework (approximately 400-600mm height) managing ground-level water splash-back and providing additional structural stability for upper slat screening. The detailing incorporates discrete fastening systems with stainless steel fixings preventing visible corrosion or staining, and overlapped joint configurations at post interfaces ensuring continuity. Adjacent landscape integration includes cultivated planter beds with evergreen and deciduous specimen plantings (shrubs and small trees) creating visual softening and biophilic enhancement. Synthetic grass surfacing treatment adjacent to fence perimeter provides low-maintenance alternative to natural turf while maintaining aesthetic ground-plane integration. The overall system represents a contemporary privacy screening solution combining modular construction methodology, weather-resistant material specification, and integrated landscape detailing addressing visual screening, wind mitigation, and property boundary definition while maintaining spatial permeability and contemporary aesthetic expression.
