Silva Timber’s Western Red Cedar Slatted Screen is a popular contemporary alternative to traditional fences. The flexibility of the product allows customers to use it to create a variety of designs.

Miles Raybould, from Belsize Gardens, has been designing and building gardens across London for over 10 years and has extensively used Western Red Cedar Slatted Screens, supplied by Silva Timber.

Miles comments: “Western Red Cedar Half-Height Slatted Screens are a more pragmatic approach to the fact that a lot of London gardens will have 1 metre high brick boundary walls.

"The slatted screens combine beautifully with old stock brickwork and give a slightly more contemporary look. What they also do is provide the necessary sense of privacy while not completely blocking out the light.

"Another major reason that I use the cedar screens in this way is that they act as the perfect backdrop for planting, with the lush greens and shadows falling on the pinks and oranges of Western Red Cedar.”
