Venetian Cedar Fence Panels
A bold, contemporary statement for the modern home—engineered with horizontal lines to create a sleek architectural boundary that balances light and shadow.
Louvered Engineering: Privacy Without Enclosure. Designed for those who want seclusion without sacrificing an airy feel, our Venetian panels offer a “louvered” restricted line of sight. This allows you to define your property with a high-end, private barrier that still welcomes natural light and airflow.
What makes our Venetian Panels the premier choice for modern linear design?
Our Venetian panels are engineered with precision-milled horizontal slats to create a sleek, contemporary boundary that defines the modern West Coast aesthetic. Unlike standard horizontal fences that can bow or sag, our high-grade Western Red Cedar is secured within a True 2×4 frame to ensure every line remains perfectly level through every BC season. When paired with a Micropro Sienna kickboard, the architectural cedar is isolated from damp soil—effectively doubling the lifespan of your installation.

Engineered for Louvered Performance:
Linear Structural Integrity: We utilize thicker, precision-milled slats and screwed construction to prevent the “warping and racking” common in flimsy, stapled-together retail alternatives.
Louvered Privacy & Airflow: The horizontal spacing is specifically designed to provide a restricted line of sight while allowing consistent airflow, significantly reducing wind-load on your posts during Lower Mainland storms.
Architectural Light Filtering: This style is engineered to balance seclusion with transparency, allowing natural light to filter through the horizontal gaps to keep your outdoor space feeling bright and open.
Modern Structural Integrity
We use True 2×4 framing and screwed construction to create a rigid, anti-sag frame. This heavy-duty engineering ensures horizontal slats remain perfectly level, while the louvered design allows for consistent airflow to reduce wind pressure during Lower Mainland storm seasons.
Maximum Lifespan
To stop the 7–10 year rot cycle common in BC, our Micropro Sienna kickboards isolate the cedar from damp soil. This critical barrier effectively doubles the lifespan of your linear decorative installation in high-moisture climates.

The Big Red Advantage
See our Process! >>>>>>
Unlike many fencing contractors who simply buy pre-made panels from big-box stores and install them, Big Red Cedar’s “Forest-to-Finished-Fence” journey ensures your fence is made from premium quality wood and specifically engineered for the unique climate needs of the Lower Mainland.
DIRECT SOURCING
We bypass generic retail supplies by sourcing raw Western Red Cedar directly from the Pacific Northwest, selecting only high-grade timber with natural rot resistance.
CUSTOM MILLING
In our Langley facility, we mill boards to our own strict specifications. This control allows us to build stronger, tighter panel than any off-the-shelf alternative.
QUALITY CONTROL
Every fastener and component is chosen for BC durability. We manage the assembly ourselves to ensure zero structural compromises before it leaves the shop.
Big Red Cedar Fence Panels: Which Grade is Right for You?

Standard sizes are 3’9″, 4’9″, 5’9″ high, by 8′ wide. Custom-sized panels can also be built to order.
Frequently Asked Questions about Big Red Cedar Venetian Fence Panels
How does “Louvered Privacy” work?
Our Venetian panels are engineered with a specific horizontal spacing that creates a louvered effect. This provides a restricted line of sight for privacy while still allowing natural light to filter through and air to circulate, preventing the “boxed-in” feeling of a solid wall.
Are horizontal fences prone to sagging?
Unlike builder-grade horizontal fences that use thin boards, we use premium, precision-milled Western Red Cedar slats and True 2×4 framing. This heavy-duty engineering ensures each slat remains perfectly level and resistant to the “bowing” often seen in lower-quality retail alternatives.
How do Venetian panels perform in high winds?
The horizontal gaps in the Venetian design act as natural vents, allowing wind to pass through the panel. This significantly reduces wind-load pressure compared to solid privacy styles, making it a structurally superior choice for exposed or coastal properties in the Lower Mainland.
Can these panels be used for modern architectural styles?
Absolutely. The clean, linear aesthetic of the Venetian style is a hallmark of West Coast Modern architecture. It is designed to complement contemporary home designs by providing a sleek, sophisticated boundary that emphasizes horizontal lines and visual depth.
Do these panels include a ground-contact barrier?
Yes. To maximize the lifespan of your investment, we recommend our Micropro Sienna kickboards. This barrier isolates the cedar slats from damp soil, effectively doubling the fence’s lifespan by preventing the 7–10 year rot cycle common in our high-moisture climate.
