Estimate battens, lineal metres and fixings for a timber screen or privacy fence panel. This is a guide only — for an exact quantity, contact our team.
Advanced options (gap & support rails)
Typical screening gaps range from 10–30mm depending on how much privacy vs. airflow you want. Most standing screens use at least 2 support rails (e.g. top & bottom); taller screens (over ~1.5m) often need a mid-rail too — ask our team for advice on windy or exposed sites.

Estimates assume battens run edge-to-edge with an even gap, and roughly two screws at every batten/rail crossing. Actual requirements vary with framing, post spacing and design. Call our Archerfield team for a precise quote.
