Solid Fence: Best Choice in 2026
A solid fence is suitable when you want to clearly separate a garden, patio or property with completely closed panels. Options are available in Corten steel and aluminium, with different heights, widths and configurations. The closed construction makes these panels suitable for situations where screening, a clean appearance and durability are important. Both Corten steel and aluminium versions are available, allowing you to match the material, size and finish to the intended application.
What is a solid fence?
A solid fence consists of closed panels without openings in the surface. This creates a clear boundary between different parts of a garden or property. Depending on the selected model, the solid garden screening can be fixed to the ground, between posts or against walls. Solid fence panels can be made from materials including Corten steel and aluminium. Both materials are intended for outdoor use and combine a closed design with a low-maintenance construction.
Advantages and disadvantages

Who is it suitable for?
- Anyone looking for a solid fence to create a clear boundary around a garden
- Anyone looking for closed garden screens for a patio or other outdoor area
- Anyone who prefers a metal solution to traditional open screens

Material and quality
The available models are made from materials including Corten steel and aluminium. The described Corten steel panels have a standard material thickness of 2 mm. Corten steel consists of a metal alloy containing elements including iron, copper, phosphorus, silicon, nickel and chromium. Exposure to outdoor air creates a natural rust layer that helps prevent further corrosion. The panels are supplied without this developed rust layer, and according to the product information the natural weathering process takes approximately four to five months depending on weather conditions. The described aluminium version also has a standard thickness of 2 mm. The material is strong, wear-resistant and weather-resistant and has a coating that prevents corrosion. Both the aluminium and Corten steel solid fence panels described have double-folded sides for additional stability and a neat finish.
Sizes and variants
Solid fences are available in multiple sizes, heights, widths, materials and configurations. This allows the dimensions to be matched to the available space and the desired height of the boundary. Available models include versions measuring 100 x 180 cm and 100 x 200 cm, although the range is not limited to these sizes. A solid fence can therefore be selected according to the required dimensions as well as the preferred material and finish.
