Explore our range of timber battens for building and repairing trellis, garden screening and other lightweight timber structures. Battens provide the narrow timber sections used to form the framework and pattern of traditional trellis panels, making them suitable for both new projects and replacement work.
Our trellis battens can be used to create square, rectangular or diagonal lattice designs for garden boundaries, decorative screens, climbing plant supports and fence-top extensions. Their manageable profile makes them easy to cut, position and fix into a wide variety of layouts.
Pressure-treated timber options help improve resistance to rot, fungal decay and general outdoor weathering. This makes treated battens a practical choice for exterior garden projects where the timber will be exposed to changing weather conditions.
Battens can also be used for repairing damaged trellis panels, reinforcing lightweight garden screens and completing custom timber features. Always check the individual product treatment, finish and suitability before ordering.

Choosing the Right Battens
Choose battens according to the required trellis pattern, spacing and overall strength of the finished structure. Closely spaced battens provide increased screening, while wider spacing creates a more open design with greater light and airflow.
Check whether the timber is pressure treated and suitable for outdoor use. Calculate the quantity required carefully and include an allowance for cuts, overlaps and any damaged pieces.
Installation and Care
Position the battens evenly and secure them using suitable exterior-grade nails, screws or staples. Use a square or spacing guide where necessary to maintain a consistent trellis pattern.
Pre-drilling near the ends may help reduce splitting. Where pressure-treated timber is cut or drilled, apply a suitable end-grain treatment to the exposed areas.
