Steel slats for garden fence panels
A panel fence is a quick and easy-to-install solution, but it often fails to meet users’ expectations during long-term use. Fence trim, which serves both as a protective covering and a decorative element, provides a solution to many of the problems associated with its use. It can improve the practical properties of a panel fence while also adding character and elegance to the space.
What are the characteristics of fence slats?
Fence slats are narrow profiles used to fill in the spaces between fence panels. The models available in our product line are designed for quick vertical installation—without the use of tools. The slats are slid into the fence panel, starting with the starter elements that have a cutout for the clamps. This type of panel fence covering provides a quick and simple solution to issues related to noise and a lack of privacy. It also reduces airflow, creating a secluded spot in the garden for relaxation.
What are our fence panel rails made of?
Fence panel covers can be made from various materials. At TELBOX, we use durable, low-maintenance 0.8 mm-thick galvanized sheet metal. This material is sufficiently rigid and sturdy, yet—thanks to its slip-in design—it does not hinder DIY installation.
Galvanized sheet metal is resistant to weather conditions such as rain, frost, high temperatures, and sunlight. As a result, the material does not deteriorate and retains its original appearance for years. Furthermore, the sheet metal requires no impregnation or maintenance, as it is corrosion-resistant.
Upon the customer’s request, we can also manufacture the slats for fence panels from stainless steel or lightweight aluminum. All of these materials are suitable for outdoor use.
What are the benefits of a cover for a panel fence?
The simplest and most popular panel fences are made of thin rods that form openwork structures of a specific height. Such fences are often combined with plantings such as trees and shrubs. However, before the plants grow tall and dense enough, the panel fence may not meet the user’s expectations in terms of reducing the effects of wind gusts or providing a sense of privacy.
In such a situation, it’s worth using slats for fence panels, which allow you to quickly enhance the fence, improving both its appearance and functionality. Our fence slats are versatile and fit various panels—their standard width is approximately 4.4 cm, though we offer the option to custom-make slats with different dimensions upon request. Simply insert the appropriate number of slats into the fence panels to ensure the fence better protects your garden from prying eyes and the elements, providing privacy and better protection from the wind.
Additionally, the panel fence cover, available in many colors, helps add character to the space. Simple, minimalist fence slats look great against the backdrop of modern buildings. Their color can be matched to the color of the facade, window frames, or garage door, among other elements, thus creating a cohesive design.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fence Slats
The simplest solution is fence slats—narrow strips that slide vertically into the fence frame, without replacing panels or altering the structure. Unlike reed mats or PVC strips, galvanized sheet metal does not fade and does not need to be replaced after a few seasons.
No tools required. The slats are inserted vertically into the panel, starting with the starter strips that have cutouts for the clamps, and the subsequent slats are added next to them—no drilling or screwing required.
Our slats are approximately 4.4 cm wide, which corresponds to the typical spacing between the slats in 2D and 3D panels. If you need a different spacing, we can custom-make the slats to your specifications—just include the dimensions in your inquiry.
Standard models are made of 0.8 mm thick galvanized sheet metal with a powder-coated finish—rigid enough to prevent the strip from warping across the span. Upon request, we also manufacture them from stainless steel or aluminum.
No. Galvanized sheet metal is resistant to corrosion, frost, high temperatures, and UV radiation, so the slats do not require treatment or painting—unlike wooden slats.
Yes. Filling the span restricts airflow and dampens outside noise, while also blocking the view of the street and neighbors—immediately, without having to wait for the plants to grow.
