Modern teak slatted fence with 50 mm slats

Teak slatted fence with 50 mm slats

Looking for a modern fence in a warm, light wood colour? This fence has horizontal teak slats, 50 mm wide and 21 mm thick. Teak is a yellowish brown and develops a golden sheen over time. The narrow slats create a fine linear pattern that suits a clean, contemporary garden.

It is built exactly like our Ipe slatted fence with 50 mm slats: the same sizes, the same azobé posts and the same fixing system. The difference is the timber and the price. The teak fence costs 10% less than the same fence in Ipe.

Available from November 2026. You can order now and we will deliver as soon as the teak arrives.

How the fence is built

• Teak slats, 21 x 50 mm, fitted horizontally
• Azobé posts, 60 x 60 mm, suitable for ground contact
• Hidden clips. Each clip doubles as a spacer, so the gap is 5 mm throughout
• Black coated stainless steel screws with drill point, out of sight
• Tongue and groove on the ends, so you can lay the slats in a random pattern with little waste
• Optional EPDM membrane behind the slats for full privacy and less noise

Why choose teak for a fence?

A 50 mm slat is narrow and thin. Timber that moves a lot will warp or cup. Teak moves very little: shrinkage is 4.7% tangential and 2.6% radial, compared with 6.4% and 5.1% for Ipe. As it dries, teak shows little tendency to distort or split.

Teak contains natural oils. You can feel it on the surface: smooth and slightly greasy. Now and then a dark brown streak runs through the wood. That is typical of teak.

Our teak comes from a plantation in Africa. Almost all teak sold today is plantation grown.

Teak or Ipe: which one is right for you?

We supply both, in the same sizes and with the same fixing system.

Choose teak if you want a light, warm colour, if you are fitting it yourself and prefer a lighter timber, or if price matters.
Choose Ipe if you want the hardest and most durable timber (durability class 1, 25+ years) or a darker colour.

Care

Teak is naturally durable and needs little looking after. Outdoors, every timber weathers to a silver grey over time, teak included. To keep the golden brown colour, treat the slats with oil. Oil works like sun cream on your skin: the wood repels dirt and water and stays more stable.

How to order your teak fence

1. Choose your version: 1.80, 2.00 or 2.10 m high, with slats on one side or both sides.
2. Enter the length: the total run of fencing in metres. Tip: order 1 extra metre to allow for cutting.
3. Everything in one kit: posts, slats, clips and screws.

Corners or separate sections? Order the total length and add the split in the comments box in your basket. You can also work out your fence first with the fence calculator.
