Thick battens are used as components for budget, heavy duty and super duty waney lap fence panels, 4” gap trellis’ and 1.5” gap trellis’, all of which are manufactured in house by Cocklestorm. These thick battens are perhaps better known by the term roofing battens, and are available either pressure treated or untreated and dipped in a chestnut or golden brown water based preservative.
Please Note: Golden brown water based dip is to order, please allow additional time.
Thick battens are available in 6ft lengths, but as they are only 38mm wide and 19mm thick (1.5” x 0.75”), they are easy to cut to down to any length required.
On budget, heavy duty and super duty waney lap fence panels, thick battens are used on the back of the panels as vertical strengthening supports. For 4” and 1.5” gap trellises, these battens make up most of the horizontal and vertical supports as they offer good strength and support to hold the trellis’ together.
Other good uses for thick battens are as gate stops/slam plates to stop gates swinging too far and causing damage to them or they can be used to pack out the edges of fence panels/trellis’ if they don’t quite fit into posts correctly.

Due to our extensive product range, calculating the delivery charge can be complicated. When your postcode has been entered, delivery is automatically calculated by the website and is clearly shown at the checkout. However on certain products, the delivery charged is a covering charge. Should you wish, you are able to contact our staff about this charge as you may be eligible for a lower delivery cost.
For all products that are stock items, deliveries are within 1-10 working days if you are located less than 10 road miles of M26 2UT.

Within a 50 mile radius, your order will more than likely be delivered by our own fleet of vehicles. Over a 50 mile radius, your order may be delivered by our vehicles but more likely via a courier service.
For all deliveries carried out by Cocklestorm's fleet of vehicles, customers will be contacted via E-Mail or phone the day before the delivery is due.
