Complete Your Outdoor Project
1. Premium Ipe Hardwood Oil: Required for Warranty
Periodic oil treatment is strictly required to retain full product warranty coverage. It blocks dirt absorption, limits surface checking/cracks, and feeds the timber to minimize structural expansion. Order Specialist Timber Oil Directly →
2. EPDM Backing Screen: 100% Sightproof Privacy
Integrate our professional EPDM backing strip to construct a fully soundproof, weather-sealed perimeter. This establishes an elite, low-noise acoustic slatted fence barrier. The rich matte-black membrane perfectly accentuates the clean linear shadows without allowing any gaps to be peered through. Order EPDM Privacy Screen →
For EPDM privacy screens: Total fence length x 2 = required m² coverage (for single-sided board layouts).
Steps 2 & 3: Fixing the Premium Slats
We supply premium Ipe slats in multiple lengths (e.g., 1.20m, 1.50m, or 1.80m). Thanks to the **smart tongue & groove design**, the boards do not need to end precisely on a post layout.
- Staggered Pattern: Creates the strongest architectural build and a striking, high-end modern appearance.
- Zero Slat Waste: Simply use the off-cut piece from one row to start your next run.
- Interlocking System: Clicks seamlessly together for sharp, flush lines, while the integrated side slots handle invisible clip mounting.
Anchor Each Slat Securely with Dual Clips
For a highly stable perimeter structure, both interlocking board ends must be heavily clamped down at every transition:
✔ Double Fixation: Always place a clip on the top groove AND bottom groove at every single board joint to keep your lines perfectly level.
✔ Floating Joints: If a joint falls between post spans without a backing frame, still deploy both clips to secure the interlocking ends together.
✔ Tightly Wedge: Fully push each hidden clip into the groove channel to ensure a structurally uniform, flawless 5 mm gap.
Step 1: Installing the Structural Upright Posts
Set your heavy-duty hardwood posts approximately 1.00 metre apart. Ensure that roughly 1/3 of the overall post length is anchored securely into the ground line. Always pull a builder's line to verify that the framework sits perfectly straight across your garden landscape.
How to lock your posts firmly in place?
- Manual Excavation: Dig a wide foundation hole and tightly backfill with packed sand and gravel after positioning.
- Auger Method: Use a mechanical ground auger to bore precise, high-friction holes for an ultra-tight, seamless post fit.
⭐ Golden Contractor Tip: Immediately soak the sand/soil mix around the embedded timber post with water. This causes the earth to compact and settle rapidly, anchoring your structural posts securely straight away. Steps 2 & 3: Montage of the lamellen
Steps 2 & 3: Fixing the Premium Ipe Slats
The Foundation: Always work from the ground up. Your initial starting course of slats must be checked with a spirit level to be 100% perfectly horizontal.
- Secret Fastening: Utilize Cobra clips to automatically space your boards (5 mm gap throughout). Firmly press each slat down so the clip tabs lock securely within the profile grooves.
- Base and Top Course Slatting: Secure these edge boards invisibly by driving a screw at an angle through the inner profile groove straight into the upright frame. Alternatively, snip off one side flange of a clip to create a custom half-clip fastener.
- No Capping Rail Required: Premium A-grade Ipe hardwood is exceptionally stable and element-resistant; it requires no protective top strip to handle extreme weather conditions.
Anchor Each Ipe Slat Securely with Dual Clips
For a highly stable perimeter structure, both interlocking board ends must be heavily clamped down at every transition:
✔ Double Fixation: Always place a clip on the top groove AND bottom groove at every single board joint to keep your lines perfectly level.
✔ Floating Joints: If a joint falls between post spans without a backing frame, still deploy both clips to secure the interlocking ends together.
✔ Tightly Wedge: Fully push each hidden clip into the groove channel to ensure a structurally uniform, flawless 5 mm gap.
Privacy & Aesthetics: You Control the Look of the Ipe Slatted Fence
Our modern slatted panels inherently shield your property from view thanks to the narrow 5 mm design clearances.
Achieve 100% Sightproof Screen Sealing with Black EPDM Membrane
Staple our premium dark EPDM membrane onto your upright frame posts before attaching the timber slats. This creates a striking, rich matte-black backdrop, completely eliminating any possibility of through-vision while heavily increasing the natural color contrast of the luxury wood panels.
EPDM Sheet Quantity Formulation:
• Single-Sided Slats (1.80m or 2.00m heights): 2 x total length of fence = total required m².
• Double-Sided Slats: 4 x total length of fence = total required m².
Single-Sided Panel Profiles
Fix the premium slats to your side of the perimeter wall. Your adjacent neighbors can clad their respective side onto the same upright posts later on. Below you can see a technical profile detail of the rear structure on a single-sided slatted layout built without the optional EPDM lining fabric.
The Leverage Technique:
- Step 1: Place the slightly bowed slat with hidden clips loosely underneath it on top of the previously installed slat run.
- Step 2: Deploy a standard G-clamp, bar clamp, or a pry bar as a lever against the fence post to force the timber batten into its perfectly level horizontal position.
- Step 3: Alternatively, apply your body weight vertically downwards onto the board. This forces the profile groove to lock tightly into the spacing clip directly underneath.
- Pro-tip: The best method is to take a completely straight batten with its clips pre-fitted and lay it directly **on top of** the bowed slat. Apply vertical force down onto this upper board; it stabilizes the warped piece beneath it into a dead-straight horizontal line, letting you easily secure it by driving the screw into the Cobra fastener clip.
- Step 4: The clip now acts as an unyielding structural anchor, holding the timber profile permanently true and straight.
- Step 5: Once firmly locked into this hidden fixing system, the dense grain cannot twist or shift, remaining perfectly flush for life.
Please Note: Always drive each stainless screw in one continuous, smooth motion. Stopping halfway through with your impact driver significantly increases the risk of the screw heads snapping. Also, ensure your driver bit sits perfectly square and deep within the screw head before rotating, otherwise you will strip the drive bit or damage the screw head recess.
Your Timber Maintenance Schedule for the First 2 Years
For optimum wood preservation and colour retention, you should treat the hardwood periodically during the first two years: Typically four times per year. Only apply treatment when the timber is completely dry and rain is not forecast. For best results, choose a dry, sunny day with temperatures of 15°C or higher, as this encourages the oil to absorb and dry efficiently into the wood fibers.

When Should You Re-Oil Hardwood?
As soon as the initial satin finish changes into a dull, matt appearance, the protective oils on the surface of the timber have evaporated. Rule of thumb: **3 to 4 times a year** is usually sufficient. The wood absorbs the most material during the application of the very first layer; subsequent top-ups require roughly 50% less oil. The intensity of local sun exposure and rain conditions will ultimately dictate the necessary frequency.
Product Warranty & Expert Advice
- An Accurate Overview: Our project imagery features real customer installations. Because natural timber is an organic product, exposure to outdoor UV rays will naturally darken the wood slightly over time. Since no single project site is identical, color tone variations are entirely normal across different images.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How long does it take for my Ipe slatted screen to weather into a grey tone?
This depends entirely on local elements and orientation (direct sunlight and rainfall exposure). On average, the rich tone starts to weather after 3 to 6 months. Within 1 to 2 years, the panels will transition completely into an even, elegant silver-grey facade.
2. Does the hardwood lose its structural strength when it turns grey?
Absolutely not. The silvery surface patina is a natural self-defence shield against intense UV exposure. The inner core of the dense Ipe timber remains rock-solid, fully retaining its incredible service life of 30 years or more.
However, regularly oiled hardwood is better defended against fine surface checks, hairline cracks, and structural twisting. Consider it like human skin: exposing it directly to hot sun and water without protection dries it out. Feeding the wood cells keeps the structure strong and resilient, preventing it from drying out.
3. Can I restore weathered silver-grey fencing back to its rich brown appearance?
Yes, you can easily restore it using a dedicated chemical 'Net-Trol' wood netter or timber cleaner/reviver. After scrubbing and rinsing, the natural deep brown heartwood tones resurface. To lock in this color profile, the timber must be sealed with specialist oil immediately after drying out.
Keep in mind that following the application of a timber reviver, you will still need to give the boards a light sanding. This requires a fair amount of labor; in our expert opinion, prevention through routine maintenance is far easier than restoration.
4. Why do you recommend using specialized Ipe oil?
The fiber cells of A-grade Ipe are so incredibly dense and tightly packed that standard garden oils cannot penetrate them; they simply pool on the surface and turn sticky or gummy. Our premium hardwood oil is formulated with fine molecular penetrating properties that deep-feed the pores, preserving the natural luxurious timber tone without masking its organic pattern.
When Should You Re-Oil Your Hardwood?
Treat the visible facade thoroughly during the first 2 years using this simple schedule:
Feb - March
Early Spring Coat
Early Spring Coat
April - May
UV Protection Layer
UV Protection Layer
July & August
Mid-Summer Top-up x2
Mid-Summer Top-up x2
Visual Check: Is the smooth silky sheen starting to change into a dull appearance? That tells you the protective oil boundary has evaporated and it is time for a refresh.
Use a manual pressure pump sprayer or trigger bottle to easily mist the treatment oil over the panels, then smooth it out uniformly using a clean cloth.
You can choose to purchase our high-performance proprietary hardwood oil or deploy another equivalent trade-grade brand.

1. Material Verification (Inside Your Package)
2. Site Tool Requirements
The 3 Golden Rules
- Continuous Driving: Always drive each stainless screw in one fluid, continuous motion. Stopping the driver machine halfway causes high friction and heat, creating a high risk of the screw shaft snapping clean off.
- Rear Cavity Ventilation: Maintain a minimum 20mm clearance gap behind the cladding facade to guarantee healthy air circulation. When you order our comprehensive all-in-one package kits, this rear ventilation buffer space is engineered to be double the industry standard minimum requirement.
- No Galvanised Steel: Only deploy our dedicated marine-grade stainless steel fixing components to prevent black tannic acid staining and bleed marks on the luxury timber.
