Timber Frieze Panel Prices — A, B, C & G Ranges

Everything on this list is priced per lineal metre. You buy the length of the opening; the panel is made to your width. What is fixed is the height, and that is what separates the four ranges.

The four ranges, and how to choose between them

Fifty-three designs across the four ranges. Choose the range by height first, then the pattern within it. The height has to suit the gap between the top of your posts and the underside of the beam, and it has to look right on the frontage: a 270mm A or C frieze is a discreet band, while a 440mm G frieze is a substantial feature that will dominate a low verandah and look magnificent on a tall one.

Within the A range, the price splits into two bands — the first twenty-three designs sit at one rate and the last four at another, so check which side of that line your pattern falls on before you settle.

The same patterns, three ways

The SA, SB, SC and SG pattern numbers run across three different products:

• …FW — frieze work, the external verandah panel priced here.
• …WP — the same pattern made as an internal window pelmet.
• …PS — the same pattern made as a privacy screen.

So a house can carry one pattern on the verandah frieze, again over the curtains inside, and again on the courtyard screen. If that is the effect you want, choose the pattern once and order it three ways.

How to measure

Measure the clear opening between posts, inside face to inside face, at each bay — that is your lineal metres. Take it at more than one height if the posts are old, because they bow, and the gap at the top is often not the gap further down. Then measure the available drop: from the underside of the beam down to where you want the frieze to finish. That number picks your range.

If you are matching an existing frieze, photograph it straight-on with a tape laid alongside for scale, and add a close-up of the pattern. If you can get a section of the original down safely, send it — copying the real panel beats working from a photograph every time.
