Looking for a simple way to improve privacy and refresh the appearance of your existing fence? Fence extensions and toppers offer a practical and cost-effective solution, helping you create a more secluded and stylish outdoor space without the expense of installing a brand-new fence.
Stratco's range of Good Neighbour® fence toppers and extensions is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing steel fencing, adding height, visual appeal, and increased privacy to your property.
Why Choose a Fence Topper or Extension?
Over time, your privacy needs may change. New neighbouring homes, elevated outdoor entertaining areas, or growing families can all create a need for additional screening.
Fence toppers and extensions can help you:
- Increase backyard privacy
- Improve security by adding fence height
- Modernise the appearance of existing fencing
- Enhance street appeal
- Avoid the cost of replacing an entire fence
Whether you're looking for a contemporary architectural finish or a decorative feature, Stratco offers options to suit a wide range of homes and outdoor spaces.
Modern Privacy with Good Neighbour® Screen Top Slats
One of the most popular choices for homeowners seeking a contemporary finish is the Good Neighbour® Screen Top Slat system.
Designed to fit within the Screen Top Side Frames, these powder-coated aluminium slats create a sleek horizontal screening feature above existing Good Neighbour® fencing. The result is additional privacy combined with a modern architectural appearance that complements contemporary Australian homes.
The slimline design allows you to extend the visual height of your fence while maintaining clean lines and an open feel.
Key benefits include:
- Modern horizontal slat design
- Durable powder-coated aluminium construction
- Additional privacy without completely enclosing the space
- Designed to integrate with existing Good Neighbour® fencing
- Low-maintenance and weather resistant
For homeowners wanting to create a premium, designer-inspired look, Screen Top Slats provide an attractive upgrade that can transform the appearance of an existing fence.
Add Character with Lattice Extension Panels
If you're looking for a more decorative solution, the Good Neighbour® Screen Top Extension Panel Frame offers an elegant alternative.
Featuring a decorative lattice-style insert, these extension panels add visual interest while increasing fence height. They are ideal for homeowners wanting additional screening without sacrificing airflow or creating a solid visual barrier.
The lattice design creates a softer aesthetic that works particularly well in:
- Traditional homes
- Cottage-style gardens
- Outdoor entertaining areas
- Boundary fences surrounding landscaped spaces
The Screen Top Extension Panel Frame allows you to enhance privacy while introducing an attractive decorative feature that can become part of your overall garden design.
Which Option Is Right for You?
Choosing between Screen Top Slats and Lattice Extension Panels largely comes down to the look you want to achieve.
Choose Screen Top Slats if you want:
- A modern architectural appearance
- Contemporary outdoor styling
- Clean horizontal lines
- Increased privacy with a premium finish
Choose Lattice Extension Panels if you want:
- Decorative lattice detailing
- A softer, more traditional aesthetic

Both options provide an effective way to increase fence height and privacy while enhancing the overall appearance of your property.
