NeoTimber®Composite Louvre Batten Fencing Metal Insert

£20.00

Description

Planning a fence with wider spacing between posts or rails? The NeoTimber® Composite Louvre Batten Fencing Metal Insert gives each batten the extra strength to span further. The galvanised steel core slides inside the hollow batten profile, preventing bowing between supports and staying out of sight once your fence is built.

With a Composite Louvre Batten Fencing Metal Insert fitted, battens can span up to 1200mm centre-to-centre across all three widths: 50mm, 100mm and 150mm. Measuring 38mm × 38mm, the insert fits inside each profile with no modification to the batten.

Each batten and insert is secured with an L-shaped bracket, with a grade 304 stainless steel screw fixing through both the composite and the steel, so the insert stays firmly in place, even on vertical fences. Supplied in 3600mm lengths, one Composite Louvre Batten Fencing Metal Insert is recommended per batten requiring reinforcement.

FAQs

Get quick answers to the most common questions.

When do I need a Composite Louvre Batten Fencing Metal Insert?

A Composite Louvre Batten Fencing Metal Insert is recommended when the spacing between your fence posts or rails is wider than the standard 400–600mm fixing centres. With an insert fitted, each batten can span up to 1200mm centre-to-centre without bowing. For standard garden fencing with fixing points at 400–600mm centres, a metal insert is not normally required.

How far apart can my posts or rails be with a Composite Louvre Batten Fencing Metal Insert?

With a metal insert fitted, the maximum recommended centre-to-centre support spacing is 1200mm. This applies to all three batten widths: 50mm, 100mm and 150mm. Keep your post or rail spacing within 1200mm, even when using an insert.

How do I install a Composite Louvre Batten Fencing Metal Insert?

Slide the metal insert into the hollow Louvre Batten profile before fitting the batten to your fence frame. Then secure the assembly with the L-shaped bracket, fixing through both the batten and the steel insert with a grade 304 stainless steel screw, as shown in the NeoTimber® installation drawing. The insert stays hidden inside the batten, so the colour and texture of your fence are unchanged.

Will the insert slip down on a vertical fence?

No. The L-shaped bracket and through-fixing hold the insert securely within the batten, so it can't slide down or out over time. Follow the NeoTimber® installation drawing for the correct bracket and fixing positions.

Is one Composite Louvre Batten Fencing Metal Insert enough for each batten?

Yes. Each metal insert measures 3600mm in length, matching the full length of a NeoTimber® Composite Louvre Fencing Batten. For fencing installations requiring additional reinforcement, one insert per batten is recommended. This makes it straightforward to calculate the quantity needed for your project.
