# Bardline open fence in Lyon

Projectcategorie: privacy-screening
Locatie: Lyon, Rhône (69)
Jaar: 2026
## 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.
