Vertical Slat
Aluminium Vertical Slat Single Gates
The flat slat profile turned on end, in a single hinged leaf. Adds height to a frontage and handles ground fall better than a horizontal panel.

A run of horizontal slat fencing along a garden boundary, with panels sized between posts to suit the existing garden edge.
We do not yet have project photography of a completed vertical slat fence. The diagram shows the vertical slat arrangement; the photo shows the slat profile and finish in a horizontal run.

The detail
About aluminium vertical slat fence panels
Vertical slat panels do the same job as horizontal ones but handle sloping ground far more gracefully. Because the slats run top to bottom, a panel can be raked to follow the fall of the land while every slat stays plumb — so the fence follows the ground without the stepped profile a horizontal run needs.
They also add apparent height. On a narrow frontage, or anywhere you want the boundary to feel taller and more formal than its actual height, vertical slats do that for free.
As with any panel run, bay width is set from your total length so the panels divide evenly. Slat spacing sets how much the fence screens, exactly as it does on a horizontal panel — direction changes the look, not the privacy.
Practically, vertical slats shed water and leaf litter better than horizontal ones, because there is no upward-facing slat edge for debris to sit on. On a shaded boundary or under trees, that is worth having.
Suits
- Sloping boundary and side runs
- Frontages that benefit from apparent height
- Shaded or leaf-heavy boundaries
- Runs matching vertical fencing, balustrade or battens elsewhere on the property
Worth knowing
- Slightly more framing is needed than an equivalent horizontal panel
- On very wide openings the vertical rhythm can make a gate look narrower than it is

Questions
Aluminium Vertical Slat Fence Panels — questions we get asked
Do vertical slat panels handle slopes better?
Yes. A vertical panel can be raked so it follows the grade while every slat stays plumb, which avoids the stepped profile a horizontal run needs on the same ground. On a sloping boundary that is the main reason to choose vertical.
Are vertical slats more private than horizontal ones?
No — privacy comes from the gap between slats, not their direction. At the same spacing the two screen about the same amount head-on.
Can I mix vertical fencing with a horizontal gate?
You can, and done deliberately it makes the gate the feature. It needs the colours and rail heights to align to look intentional, so tell us that is what you want rather than leaving it to be assumed.
