Demand for the traditional "lap" fencing panels - a feature of countless gardens across the UK - has soared following wet and windy weather, while lower production in timber producing countries has reduced stocks.
DIY retailer B&Q said demand for the panels, which typically sell at between £15 and £20 a unit, is currently outstripping supply.
Builders' merchant Travis Perkins said demand for fence panels has been running at three times its usual levels.
A spokesman said: "This has caused some supply problems, but we are confident of meeting all demand by the end of this month."
