Teak fencing: a light, warm timber on azobé posts
Our teak fencing uses horizontal plantation teak slats on 60 x 60 mm azobé posts. It is built exactly like our Ipe fencing: hidden clips, a 5 mm gap and everything in one kit. Teak is lighter in colour, lighter to handle and 10% less than Ipe. Available from November 2026, you can order now.

Delivery price on requestWhat is our teak fencing?
A contemporary slatted fence. The slats are teak, 21 mm thick and 50, 70 or 90 mm wide, fitted horizontally with hidden clips on 60 x 60 mm azobé posts. The clip doubles as the spacer, so the gap is 5 mm throughout. No screws on show.
The teak comes from a plantation in Africa. Almost all teak sold today is plantation grown. Our teak is not certified.
Teak or Ipe: the differences
We supply the fence in both timbers, in the same sizes and with the same fixing system.
| Property | Teak (plantation) | Ipe |
|---|---|---|
| Colour | Yellowish brown, golden sheen over time | Yellowish brown to dark olive brown |
| Durability class (EN 350) | 1 to 3, depending on origin and age of the plantation | 1, 25+ years |
| Density | approx. 670 kg/m³ | approx. 1,050 kg/m³ |
| Hardness (Janka) | 4,740 N | 15,520 N |
| Shrinkage, tangential and radial | 4.7% and 2.6% | 6.4% and 5.1% |
| Price | 10% less than Ipe | Base price |
Choose teak if you want a light, warm colour, you are fitting it yourself and like a lighter board, or price matters. Choose Ipe if you want the hardest, most durable timber or a darker colour, such as our Ipe slatted fence.
One drawback worth knowing: teak is much softer than Ipe, so a knock from a wheelbarrow will dent it more easily.
Why teak suits slim slats
A 21 mm slat has to stay straight. Timber that moves a lot will warp or cup. Teak moves very little: shrinkage is 4.7% tangential and 2.6% radial. It contains natural oils you can feel on the surface, and the odd dark brown streak is normal for teak.
Looking after teak fencing
Teak is naturally durable and needs little care. Outdoors every timber weathers to silver grey over time, teak included. To keep the golden brown colour, oil the slats. Oil works like sun cream on your skin: the timber repels dirt and water and stays more stable, with fewer hairline cracks in very hot or wet weather.
Teak fencing FAQs
When will teak fencing be delivered?
The teak arrives in November 2026. Order now and we will deliver as soon as it is in, and contact you to arrange delivery.
How long does teak fencing last?
Teak is durability class 1 to 3, depending on origin and the age of the plantation. The slats sit above ground; the posts in the ground are azobé.
Which widths are available?
Slats of 50 mm, 70 mm and 90 mm, all 21 mm thick. Heights of 1.80, 2.00 or 2.10 m, with slats on one or both sides.
Can I add a privacy membrane?
Yes. An EPDM membrane can go behind the slats for privacy and less noise.
How much does teak fencing cost?
Teak is 10% less than the same fence in Ipe. Current prices per metre are on the product pages.
The photos on these pages are visualisations. Photos of installed teak fences will follow once the timber has arrived.
