# Bardline Slatted Fence in Lyon

Project category: privacy-screening
Location: Lyon, Rhône (69)
Year: 2026
## Project Context Completed in 2026 in Lyon, this project was commissioned by a landscaper to enhance and protect a residential garden. The program combined privacy, visual continuity, and compatibility with a demanding mineral and plant arrangement. The objectives focused on a durable fence with a controlled aesthetic on both sides and a vertical rhythm that could accompany structured flowerbeds. ## Implemented Solution The choice was made for the Bardline fence from **Redcinha®**, a **co-extruded composite wood** with a **slatted effect**. This solution offers **double-sided boards** installed **vertically** for an identical appearance on both sides, supported by **aluminum posts**. Key characteristics utilized: - **Board dimensions: 187.2 x 19.5 mm** - **Board length: 1295 mm** (with 1600 mm option upon request) - **Controlled expansion: 2 mm/m** - **UV treatment**, **weather resistance**, **10-year warranty** - **Aluminum accessories** ensuring continuity and rigidity Two shades were chosen according to the zones, in line with the mineral and plant landscape: a **charcoal gray** for a sober and contemporary look, and a **light oak with black grooves** for a warmer tone. The system was assembled according to Redcinha® recommendations: **post-board connection profile** and **finishing profiles** ensure the hold, flatness, and cleanliness of visible edges. This technical choice met several professional expectations: - **Relevant double-sided symmetry** for a property boundary - **Vertical rhythm** enhancing alignments and perspectives of the garden - **Minimal maintenance** and dimensional stability over time ## Implementation and Results Installation was carried out in regular spans, with a constant gap and a perfectly aligned high top. Cuts are clean and protected with matching caps. The base integrates into a stable mineral support, ensuring the alignment of the bottom of the panel along its entire length. Three configurations follow to meet the usages and the terrain reading: - **Charcoal Sequence**: closely spaced vertical boards with a discreet slatted effect run alongside a mass of **light gravel** planted with small conifers, lavenders, and graphic plants. The contrast highlights the sobriety of the panels and the precision of the alignments. - **Light Oak Sequence with Black Grooves**: warm-toned spans interact with **aligned shrubs** on beige mineral mulch. The contrast of the grooves emphasizes verticality and creates a more inviting atmosphere. - **Variation with Visible Aluminum Posts**: the alternating posts and boards structure a border of **Mediterranean plants**, including lavenders, agaves, and small olive trees, adjacent to a dense lawn. The rhythm of the profiles showcases the landscaping composition. The entire set forms a continuous line, without visual interruption, where every detail – the squareness of the spans, the regularity of the play, the finishing of the profiles – contributes to a clean and professional reading. The **slatted effect** provides a sense of lightness while maintaining privacy, and the **double-sided** design ensures a neat appearance on both the garden side and the neighboring side. The performance of the Redcinha® composite – **low expansion**, **rot-resistance**, **UV treatment** – secures the expected aesthetic and mechanical durability in an urban site exposed to climate variations.
