Installation advice
For a 150 cm fence: plan 3 cross rails (bottom at 10 cm, middle at 70 cm, top at 140 cm). Pre-drill each slat 2 cm from the edge to avoid splitting. Use 4x50 mm stainless steel screws for a durable fixing. Apply treatment to all faces before installation, paying particular attention to end grain.
Spacing between slats: a solid gate acts like a sail in the wind, putting significant strain on the hinges and posts. A spacing of 15 to 20 mm between slats significantly reduces mechanical stress — recommended for wide gates and windy areas. A spacing of 10 mm gives an almost fully opaque result. Beyond 25 mm, the slatted effect allows light and sight lines to pass through.
Maintenance and protection
Renew the exterior stain or oil every 2 to 3 years. Inspect the bottom 10 centimetres of the slats — the area most exposed to water and soil splashing. Douglas fir is resistant without treatment but regular maintenance multiplies its service life.
WoodUp tip
What to know before buying: this 150 cm douglas fir slat is compatible with WoodUp 91x21 mm cross rails for gates and tall fencing. Untreated douglas fir naturally weathers grey outdoors without losing its mechanical properties; an exterior treatment (oil or stain) before installation helps preserve the original colour for longer. Check the exact height of your project before ordering.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the 150 cm and 175 cm slats?
The only difference is the length (25 cm more for the 175 cm). The 150 cm is suited to fencing and gates of standard height. The 175 cm is intended for gates requiring a greater height or more pronounced privacy screening.
Can these slats be used horizontally in a fence?
Yes. 150 cm slats installed horizontally create a contemporary look known as "horizontal palisade". In this case, plan vertical uprights every 120 cm to keep the slats straight.
Can these slats be cut to a shorter length?
Yes. Solid wood can be easily cut. Treat the fresh cut immediately with an end grain product to prevent moisture absorption.
Is there a complete gate kit available for this slat length?
No. For this length, the gate must be assembled yourself using these slats, 91x21 mm cross rails and a diagonal brace. Woodup kit gates are supplied at a maximum height of 120 cm.
How many slats are needed to build a 5-metre fence at 150 cm height?
In 91x21 mm section edge to edge: approximately 11 slats per linear metre, i.e. 55 slats for 5 metres. With a 5 mm spacing, plan for approximately 50 slats.
