Modern fencing in Ipe hardwood: slatted designs for UK gardens.
Contemporary garden fencing in Ipe
In short: our modern fences are narrow Ipe slats of 5, 7 or 9 cm, or 4x4 cm battens, fitted horizontally on 6x6 cm Azobé posts. Hidden clips sit in a groove at the back, so there is not a single screw on the face and the gap stays an even 5 mm. A 1.8 m modern wooden fence starts from about £330 per metre, complete with posts, clips and screws, delivered in 7 to 14 working days.
Looking for inspiration first? Our fence ideas page shows 8 garden fence designs, from horizontal slats to barcode fences and low front garden fences, with photos from real gardens.

Which Ipe fence best suits your garden?
Clean horizontal Ipe slats create a modern and luxurious garden boundary. The open yet calm appearance enhances the feeling of space in the garden. The clip system makes installation easy, keeps screws out of sight and creates a consistent joint.
Luxury Ipe battens create a modern architectural garden screen. The open appearance enhances the sense of space and gives the garden a refined, vibrant look.
Why Ipe is one of the most durable hardwoods for luxury garden fencing
Shown here with 9cm Ipe slats and a hidden clip system fitted between the boards for a clean architectural finish.
Ipe hardwood is widely regarded as one of the most durable timber species for premium outdoor use. Its high density, natural resistance to moisture and excellent dimensional stability make it ideal for luxury slatted fencing, garden screens, exterior cladding and high-end landscaping projects.
Excellent stability in changing weather
All timber moves with changes in temperature and moisture. Ipe is different because its extremely dense structure keeps movement to a minimum.
This helps fence slats stay straighter for longer, with less risk of large gaps, warping or visible distortion. For UK gardens exposed to rain, wind and seasonal changes, this makes Ipe a strong long-term choice.
Durability Class 1 hardwood
Ipe is known as a Durability Class 1 hardwood, the highest natural durability rating for timber. This means it performs exceptionally well against moisture, fungi and outdoor decay.
Even with long-term exposure to rain and changing temperatures, Ipe retains its structural strength and premium appearance for many years.
Strong performance for exposed fencing
Thanks to its density and mechanical strength, Ipe is highly suitable for tall garden fences, contemporary slatted screens and architectural boundary walls.
In open gardens, coastal locations and new-build developments where fencing can be exposed to strong wind, Ipe offers lasting stability without easily bending or deforming.
Clean horizontal lines and carefully proportioned Ipe slats create a refined architectural appearance. The open slatted design introduces depth and light, making even compact gardens feel larger while maintaining a sense of privacy.
Hidden fixing systems for a flawless architectural finish
Every premium Ipe fencing system is designed around concealed fixing technology. Instead of visible screw heads interrupting the clean lines of the timber, specially engineered clips secure each slat from behind, creating the seamless appearance expected from contemporary architectural landscaping.
The hidden clips also act as precision spacers, ensuring perfectly even gaps throughout the fence while allowing the timber to perform naturally. Combined with our end-matched board connection, the result is a professional installation with uninterrupted horizontal lines and exceptional visual consistency.
Professional installation requirements
- Maximum post centres of 1000 mm
- Premium Azobé hardwood posts included
- Professional stainless steel fixing materials
- Maintain sufficient airflow around the timber
- Accurately aligned supporting framework
- Complete all-in-one installation system supplied
Correct installation is just as important as selecting premium timber. Our complete Ipe fencing systems are engineered to maximise long-term stability, minimise maintenance and preserve the crisp architectural appearance that defines contemporary luxury garden fencing.
Why premium stainless steel fixings are essential for Ipe hardwood fencing
Ipe naturally contains high levels of tannins that contribute to its exceptional durability and long service life. These natural compounds can react with ordinary steel fixings, potentially causing corrosion, black staining and premature deterioration of the fixing system.
For this reason, professional Ipe fencing systems should always be installed using high-quality stainless steel fixings. Our systems include black stainless steel clips and stainless steel screws specifically developed for dense tropical hardwoods, ensuring maximum durability while maintaining the clean architectural appearance of the fence.
Every complete fencing package is supplied with professional-grade fixing materials that have been carefully selected for use with premium Ipe hardwood. This guarantees long-term structural performance together with a flawless contemporary finish.
Whether installed in a compact city garden or a large landscaped outdoor space, an Ipe slatted fence creates a refined architectural backdrop that complements both traditional and contemporary homes.
Installing an Ipe fence is straightforward thanks to our detailed installation guides and step-by-step videos. Prefer professional installation? We can also arrange a complete fitting service. For additional privacy and improved acoustic performance, optional privacy fabric can be incorporated into the slatted construction.
The elegant colour variation and carefully balanced horizontal lines of this 7cm Ipe slatted fence create a visually wider garden while delivering the timeless appearance associated with premium landscape architecture.
Existing fencing can often be transformed with new Ipe slats, creating a completely new contemporary appearance without replacing the entire structure. The wider 9cm slats shown here provide maximum privacy together with a distinctive high-end architectural finish that lasts 25+ years.
How to keep an Ipe fence looking sharp and stable for 25+ years
A high-quality Ipe hardwood fence requires very little maintenance compared with many other timber fencing options. However, correct installation, good ventilation and occasional care will help preserve its colour, stability and premium appearance for many years. Thanks to its exceptional density and natural durability, Ipe performs extremely well in demanding UK garden conditions.
Modern slatted fencing with narrow horizontal lines can make a garden feel wider, calmer and more spacious. The refined design delivers privacy without creating a heavy or closed-in appearance.
This high-end Ipe hardwood garden wall has been oiled and protected to maintain a warm timber tone, giving the contemporary garden a fresh, elegant and natural appearance.
Natural silver-grey weathering of Ipe
When exposed to sunlight and changing weather, Ipe will gradually weather to an elegant silver-grey tone. This is a completely natural process and does not reduce the structural quality or durability of the hardwood.
Many homeowners choose to let Ipe age naturally because the silver-grey finish works beautifully with contemporary architecture, stone paving and modern garden planting. If you prefer to retain the original warm brown colour, the timber can be treated periodically with a suitable hardwood oil.
Why ordinary timber oil is not enough
Ipe is exceptionally dense, which means standard timber oils often remain on the surface rather than penetrating properly into the wood. This can result in a sticky finish, uneven colour or poor long-term protection.
For best results, we recommend using a high-quality hardwood oil specifically developed for dense tropical hardwoods. This helps maintain the rich colour of Ipe without compromising the clean, refined finish of the fence.
Proven performance in the UK climate
British gardens often expose fencing to rain, shade, wind, frost and rapidly changing humidity levels. In coastal areas, open countryside and new-build developments, timber fences can face particularly demanding conditions.
Ipe stands out in these environments thanks to its excellent stability, minimal movement and long-term structural strength. That is why it is a preferred choice for premium hardwood fencing, luxury garden screens and high-end outdoor projects.
Maintenance recommendations for maximum lifespan
With only minimal maintenance, an Ipe hardwood fence keeps its appearance for 25+ years. Occasional cleaning and the correct maintenance products will help preserve the natural beauty of the timber while protecting it against dirt, moisture and UV exposure.
- Use a hardwood oil specifically developed for dense tropical hardwoods
- Clean the fence periodically using water and a soft brush
- Prevent standing moisture around fence posts wherever possible
- Maintain adequate airflow behind the fence construction
- Inspect fixings and clips as part of annual maintenance

Frequently asked questions about Ipe hardwood fencing
Choosing the right hardwood fence is a long-term decision. Below you will find practical answers about Ipe slatted fencing, hidden fixings, maintenance, privacy and performance in the UK climate.
Why choose Ipe for garden fencing?
Ipe is extremely dense, durable and stable, making it ideal for premium garden fencing. It creates a luxury architectural finish while performing exceptionally well outdoors.
How long does an Ipe fence last?
With correct installation and basic maintenance, an Ipe hardwood fence lasts 25+ years. Its natural durability makes it suitable for long-term outdoor use in demanding weather conditions.
Does Ipe fencing turn grey?
Yes. Like most hardwoods, Ipe naturally weathers to an elegant silver-grey tone when exposed to UV light. This does not affect the strength or quality of the timber.
Can Ipe keep its warm brown colour?
Yes. If you prefer the original warm brown tone, the fence can be treated periodically with a high-quality oil suitable for dense tropical hardwoods.
Are hidden fixings included?
Our Ipe fencing systems are designed with hidden fixings for a clean, modern finish. Clips and stainless steel screws are supplied as part of the complete system.
Is Ipe suitable for the UK climate?
Yes. Ipe performs very well in the UK climate because it is naturally resistant to moisture and has minimal movement compared with many other timber species.
Can Ipe fencing provide full privacy?
Yes. By choosing wider slats, double-sided construction or privacy fabric, an Ipe fence can be designed as a fully private garden screen.
Is Ipe better than composite fencing?
Ipe is a natural premium hardwood with exceptional strength, durability and character. Composite fencing can be practical, but it does not offer the same authentic timber appearance or high-end architectural feel.
Can Ipe be used near the coast?
Ipe is a strong option for exposed gardens and coastal areas, provided it is installed correctly with stainless steel fixings and enough ventilation around the timber.
Why architects and garden designers specify Ipe
Ipe is often selected for premium outdoor projects because it combines natural beauty with outstanding technical performance. Its refined grain, rich colour variation and high density make it suitable for luxury fencing, architectural garden screens, decking and exterior features.
For contemporary garden design, Ipe offers a rare combination: a natural hardwood that looks elegant, feels substantial and remains stable in demanding outdoor conditions. This makes it a strong choice for homeowners who want a fence that does more than simply mark a boundary.
Create a luxury garden boundary with Ipe hardwood
From contemporary slatted fencing to fully private hardwood garden screens, Ipe gives your outdoor space a timeless architectural finish. Choose the right slat width, fixing system and layout to create a fence that feels calm, refined and built to last.
