Bardline open fence in Lyon

Project Context

Executed in 2026 in Lyon, this intervention was entrusted by a landscape architect to enhance and protect a residential garden. The program combined privacy, visual continuity, and compatibility with a demanding mineral and plant arrangement. The goals focused on a durable fence with a controlled aesthetic on both sides, and a vertical rhythm capable of accompanying structured flower beds.

Implemented Solution

The choice fell on the Bardline fence from Redcinha®, a co-extruded wood composite with an open fence effect. The solution offers bi-faced slats installed vertically for an identical rendering on both sides, supported by aluminum posts.

Key features leveraged:

• Slat section: 187.2 x 19.5 mm
• Slat length: 1295 mm (possibility of 1600 mm on order)
• Controlled expansion: 2 mm/m
• UV treatment, weather resistance, 10-year guarantee
• Aluminum accessories ensuring continuity and rigidity

Two colors were selected according to the areas, in coherence with the mineral and plant landscape: a charcoal gray for clean and contemporary lines, and a light oak with black grooves for a warmer tone. The system was assembled in accordance with Redcinha® recommendations: post-slat connection profiles and finishing profiles ensure the hold, flatness, and cleanliness of the visible edges.

This technical choice met several professional expectations:

• Relevant bi-faced symmetry for a property boundary
• Vertical rhythm enhancing alignments and perspectives of the garden
• Minimal maintenance and dimensional stability over time

Execution and Result

The installation was carried out in regular sections, with a constant spacing and a perfectly aligned high edge. The cuts are clean and protected by matching caps. The base integrates into a stable mineral support, ensuring the alignment of the bottom of the panel along the entire length.

Three configurations follow to respond to usage and terrain reading:

• Charcoal sequence: vertical slats tightly spaced for a discreet open fence effect, line a bed of light gravel planted with small conifers, lavender, and graphic plants. The contrast highlights the simplicity of the panels and the precision of the alignments.
• Light oak sequence with black grooves: warm-toned sections 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 post-slat alternation structures a border of Mediterranean plants, including lavender, agave, and small olive trees, at the edge of a dense lawn. The rhythm of the profiles showcases the landscape composition.

The whole forms a continuous line, without visual interruption, where every detail – squaring of sections, regularity of patterns, finish of profiles – contributes to a clean and professional reading. The open fence provides a sense of lightness while preserving privacy, and the bi-faced guarantees an elegant look on both the garden and neighbor's side. The performance of the Redcinha® composite – low expansion, rot resistance, UV treatment – ensures the expected aesthetic and mechanical durability on an urban site exposed to climatic variations.
