Horizontal Slat Fencing — St John

The journey

Before, during & after

Each stage of the project, told in pictures and words.

  1. Before — Horizontal Slat Fencing — St John

    1 Stage 1 of 3

    Before

    The old fence had reached the end of its life. Posts were lifting, panels were warped and the line no longer sat true against the driveway. A crane lorry was brought in to lift the original timber and posts out in one clean run.

  2. During — Horizontal Slat Fencing — St John

    2 Stage 2 of 3

    During

    New concrete-set posts and gravel boards went in along the full boundary, levelled and aligned to give the slat panels a perfectly flat run. Each panel was set with a consistent gap to maintain visual rhythm along the length of the run.

  3. After — Horizontal Slat Fencing — St John

    3 Stage 3 of 3

    After

    A clean, contemporary horizontal-slat boundary that frames the granite farmhouse and lifts the whole frontage. Treated for longevity against Jersey weather and built to outlast the previous fence many times over.
