Artificial Hedge Panels: Your Questions Answered
Artificial Hedge Panels: Your Questions Answered
Everything customers most often ask about our artificial hedge tiles and green wall panels — sizes, fitting, delivery, longevity and more. Can't find your answer? Just get in touch.
Product & sizes
What are your artificial hedge panels made from?
Our panels are made from UV-stabilised PE (polyethylene) foliage on a flexible mesh backing. The PE holds its colour consistently outdoors, resists cracking, and is recyclable at the end of its life.
What sizes do the panels come in?
Two sizes: 50cm × 50cm tiles (four cover one square metre) and larger 1m × 1m panels (one square metre each). You can mix the two on the same project — large panels for open runs, smaller tiles around posts and edges.
How long do artificial hedge panels last?
You can expect around 3–5 years of outdoor life. The foliage is UV-stable, weatherproof and frost-proof, so it holds its colour through UK sun, rain and winter.
Do the panels look realistic?
Good-quality panels do. The key is dense, multi-depth foliage with varied leaf shapes and tones, which is what reads as a real hedge rather than flat plastic. Our most popular panels are chosen specifically for their thick, even, natural-looking coverage.
Can I order samples before buying?
Yes — we'd always recommend it if you're unsure about a style or colour, so you can see the foliage in your own garden light before committing to a full order.
Fitting & installation
How do the panels join together?
Each panel has male and female connectors along the edges of its mesh backing. They clip into neighbouring panels to form a continuous, seamless surface — there's no need to stagger the joins, as the foliage meets with no visible line.
What surfaces can I fit them to?
Timber fences, wire mesh, chain-link, railings, walls and freestanding frames. Timber takes U-nails through the mesh backing; mesh and railings take cable ties; for brick or rendered walls you fix timber battens and galvanised mesh first, then cable-tie the panels to the mesh.
Can I cut the panels to fit?
Yes. Trim them to size with strong scissors or secateurs, cutting through the mesh from the back. The foliage springs back over the cut to hide the edge, and cutting a panel down doesn't affect its stability.
Do I need any special tools?
No. For most jobs you only need scissors or secateurs, cable ties, and either U-nails (for timber) or a drill (for walls). No specialist equipment or skills required.
How long does installation take?
Most domestic jobs take an afternoon. Clipping panels into larger sections on the ground first, then fixing them, is quicker than fitting individual tiles.
Will the panels damage my fence?
No — they're lightweight and fix with cable ties or U-nails. Just make sure the fence itself is stable before adding panels, as it carries their weight.
How many do I need?
How do I work out how many panels I need?
Measure the width and height of your area in metres. Work out how many panels fit across the width and how many up the height, rounding each up to a whole panel, then multiply the two. Rounding each dimension up (rather than dividing the area) accounts for offcuts that can't be reused.
Do I need to order extra for trimming?
No — as long as you round each dimension up to whole panels, the waste from offcuts is already built in. A part-panel always counts as a whole one, because the offcut can't be reused elsewhere.
Delivery & returns
How much is delivery?
Delivery on artificial hedging is £14.99, and free on orders over £250.
Do you offer trade or bulk pricing?
Yes — we offer trade and bulk pricing on larger orders. Get in touch with your requirements and we'll put together a quote.
Care & maintenance
How do I clean and maintain the panels?
Barely any maintenance is needed — an occasional rinse with a hose clears dust and pollen. There's no watering, feeding or trimming, and no repainting as with a fence.
Will they fade in the sun?
The foliage is UV-stable, so it resists fading and keeps its colour outdoors year-round through UK sun, rain and frost.
Are the panels suitable for full shade?
Yes — because they're artificial, they look the same in deep shade as in full sun, which makes them ideal for north-facing walls, shaded passages and spots where a living hedge would struggle.
Fire classification
Are your artificial hedge panels fire rated?
Two of our 1m × 1m green wall panels — the Garden Hedge Green Wall Panel and the Tropical Green Wall Panel — carry an independent reaction-to-fire classification of B-s3, d0 under EN 13501-1:2018, tested by SGS. None of our other tiles or panels carry a fire rating, and we make no fire-performance claim for them. Read our full fire ratings guide.
Does the fire rating apply however the panel is fitted?
No — the B-s3, d0 classification was achieved with the panel mechanically fixed to a non-combustible (A1/A2) backing. Fitting it to a combustible surface such as a timber fence is a different situation, so the classification can't simply be assumed to carry across. If your project needs a verified fire performance, fit the classified panels to a non-combustible backing and talk to us first.
