Saltmarsh Plasma-Cut Fence Topper – Mild Steel
The Saltmarsh Fence Topper is a 3 mm mild steel panel plasma-cut with swaying reeds, bulrushes and seed-headed grasses, made to add height and texture to the top of a garden fence. Choose 1830 × 450 mm for a standard 6 ft fence panel or 915 × 450 mm for a 3 ft gap.
The upright stems and feathery heads suit naturalistic planting: a gravel garden full of ornamental grasses, a wildlife pond edged with rushes, or a modern prairie-style border. Because the design is mostly vertical, it lets plenty of light through, so it lifts a boundary without making a narrow garden feel boxed in.
You can have it in raw steel, satin black or anthracite grey. Raw steel will rust outdoors, turning an orange-brown that looks right at home next to seed heads in autumn; just avoid it above pale stone or render, which the rust run-off can stain. The powder-coated satin black and anthracite grey give a durable coloured finish and make the stems read like pen-and-ink against the sky.
Installation uses the 40 mm solid rail at the bottom of the panel, which carries pre-cut Ø8 mm holes: five on the 6 ft version and four on the 3 ft. Screw through them into the fence top rail or posts using exterior-grade fixings.
To keep coated panels tidy, wash off dust and pollen occasionally; raw panels can be left to weather. Saltmarsh is made to order in our Knowsley workshop, and we'll confirm your dispatch date by email.

Questions
Will the raw steel version stain my gravel or paving?
Rust run-off can mark pale paving, stone or render below. Gravel usually hides it well; if the panel sits above light surfaces, choose satin black or anthracite grey.
How many fixing holes are there?
Five pre-cut Ø8 mm holes on the 1830 mm size and four on the 915 mm size, all in the 40 mm bottom rail.
Will it block much light?
The reed design is mostly upright stems with open gaps, so it lets a good amount of light through while still adding height.
Can you make it taller or wider?
Yes. If you need a different width, height or layout, send us the details through our Custom Plasma Cutting quote form and we'll come back to you with a price.
