✓ Compatible with Woodup rails: consistent assembly across the entire range
✓ Bevelled profile (fir/douglas): natural rainwater drainage
✓ Raw wood: can be painted, stained or left natural depending on your décor

Installation advice

Calculate the number of slats required: for a fence without spacing, allow 17 slats of 60 cm per linear metre (91x21 mm section fitted edge to edge). With a 5 mm gap between slats, allow 15 to 16 slats per metre. Pre-drill each slat before screwing to avoid splitting, particularly with Pine and Fir. Use 4x40 mm stainless steel screws to prevent rust streaks. Apply treatment to all faces and edges before installation.

Spacing between slats: the choice of spacing influences both wind resistance and visual effect. A spacing of 10 mm gives an almost solid finish. Between 15 and 20 mm, wind load is reduced — recommended for long runs and exposed areas. Beyond 25 mm, the trellis effect allows light and sight through.

Maintenance and protection

Renew the water-repellent treatment or stain every 2 to 3 years depending on exposure. Douglas can be left untreated and will naturally turn grey. Untreated Pine and Fir deteriorate quickly in damp conditions — the initial treatment is essential. Check the tightness of the screws annually, especially at the ends of the rails.

Frequently asked questions

How many slats are needed for 1 metre of fencing without spacing?

For a 91x21 mm section fitted edge to edge: 11 slats per linear metre. With a 5 mm gap: approximately 10 slats per metre. Adjust according to the desired spacing between slats.

Can different wood species be mixed in the same fence?

Technically yes, but as the sections are different (91x21 mm vs 80x18 mm), the visual result will be uneven. It is advisable to stick to a single species for aesthetic consistency.

Are these slats compatible with the 91x21 mm rails in the range?

Yes. The bevelled fir and douglas slats in section 91x21 mm are directly compatible with Woodup 91x21 mm rails. Rounded Pine (80x18 mm) can also be fixed to them but presents a slight visual offset.

What is the difference between a bevelled slat and a rounded slat?

The bevelled slat has a top edge cut at an angle that encourages rainwater runoff, limiting moisture at the top. The rounded slat (Pine) has a decorative semi-cylindrical profile, less optimised for water drainage.

Can these slats be painted in colour rather than stained?

Yes. An exterior microporous paint (acrylic or alkyd) is perfectly suitable for this type of wood. Apply a wood primer before the topcoat for better adhesion and durability.
