Product Description
Short answer: a 12-piece set of PE hedge panels, 60×40 cm each, one configuration. Each panel covers 0.24 m², putting the full set at roughly 2.9 m² total — enough for a fence line, a patio edge, or a chain-link run.
Privacy is the point here: the panels are dense enough that you can't see through them, built at 4 cm thick from 100% PE and joined with a pin-and-hole locking structure and an inverted-triangle rivet at each connection point.
This set comes in one configuration only — 12 panels. Measure the run you're covering, divide by 0.24 m² per panel, and round up.

Artificial hedge privacy panels, or a living hedge?
| These panels | Living hedge or green wall | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to full privacy | Immediate, on installation day | A planted hedge can take several seasons to close gaps |
| Irrigation | None | Regular watering, and irrigation for a living wall system |
| Ongoing cost | Nothing | Trimming, feeding, and a maintenance contract for a living wall |
| Colour over time | Gradually lightens under sustained sun | Plant death or dieback, leaving a visible privacy gap |
| Trimming to fit an edge | Cut with secateurs, any shape | Grows to the shape you train it, over years |
The case for a planted hedge is permanence and growth — it thickens over time rather than fading. If you need privacy this season rather than in three years, that is the trade here.
What arrives in the box, and what do I have to do to it?
Panels ship flat, so there is no fluffing step — the work is planning. Measure the run you're covering, divide by 0.24 m² per panel, and round up rather than down.
Rotate alternate panels as you install to break up the repeat pattern, rather than lining up identical panels edge to edge, which shows a visible seam.
Inspect the panels before you accept delivery and photograph anything damaged before you unpack further.
Who should not buy this?
- Anyone needing a documented fire rating for a commercial fit-out — none is included with this product.
- Full structural privacy screening on its own. These are 4 cm decorative panels fixed to something else — a fence, a frame, a mesh — not a freestanding fence.
- Direct, unshaded outdoor sun over multiple seasons. Plan for gradual colour lightening in full Canadian summer sun.
- Buyers who want a different pack size. This product sells a fixed 12-panel set only; check our other panel products for a size ladder.
Common questions
How many panels do I need to cover my fence?
Measure your fence or wall area in square metres, then divide by 0.24 m² per panel and round up. As a worked example, a 3 m² run needs roughly 12.5 panels, which rounds up to 13 — and this product sells fixed sets of 12, so a slightly larger run may need a second partial set. Always round up: offcuts are useful at edges and corners.
Can these panels go outside permanently?
Yes, though in direct Canadian summer sun the colour will gradually lighten over a season or two, and a north or east-facing fence will hold its colour longer than a south or west-facing one.
Do these panels actually give privacy?
At 4 cm thick with a full grid backing, a fitted run blocks direct sightlines well. This is a decorative panel screwed or tied to a structure — a fence, frame, or mesh — not a load-bearing fence in its own right.
Can I cut these panels to fit an odd space?
Yes — the panels can be cut and shaped freely with ordinary tools like secateurs, useful for an edge, a corner, or an irregular gap. Offcuts are also useful for patching a seam once you've installed the main run.
Do the panels come with everything I need to install them?
The set includes 12 panels. Bring your own zip ties or preferred fixing to attach them to your fence, frame or mesh.
