Feather Edge Fencing for Strength, Privacy & Durability 

Closeboard fence panels, also known as feather edge fencing, are one of the most robust and popular fencing solutions in the UK. Constructed from overlapping vertical boards fixed to horizontal rails, closeboard fencing provides excellent strength, privacy and long-term performance, making it suitable for both domestic gardens and professional installations. 

At Suregreen, we supply a comprehensive range of closeboard fence panels and components, manufactured from pressure treated softwood for reliable protection against rot, fungal decay and insect attack. Panels are available pre-made for straightforward installation, or as individual components for building fencing on site. 

Closeboard Fencing Options Available 

Our closeboard fencing range includes everything required to build a strong, long-lasting fence line:

• Unframed closeboard fence panels

• Feather edge boards

• Arris rails and backing rails

• Cant rails

• Gravel boards 

This flexible system allows you to construct fencing to suit a wide range of garden layouts, boundary lengths and ground conditions.

Pressure Treated Timber for Outdoor Use 

All timber used throughout our closeboard fencing range is tanalised pressure treated, available in green or brown finishes. This treatment forces preservative deep into the timber, helping to protect against moisture, decay and insect damage. 

Pressure treated closeboard fencing is designed to withstand the UK climate, offering dependable performance with minimal ongoing maintenance. 

Why Choose Closeboard Fence Panels? 

Closeboard fencing is widely chosen for its practical advantages: 

• Strong, rigid construction suitable for exposed locations

• Excellent privacy with minimal gaps between boards

• Long service life when correctly installed

• Traditional appearance that suits most garden styles 

Compared to lighter fencing options, closeboard panels offer greater stability and resistance to wind, making them a dependable choice for boundary fencing. 

Posts, Gravel Boards & Fixings 

To complete a closeboard fencing installation, we also supply compatible posts and accessories, including: 

• Pressure treated timber posts

• Oak square posts

• Concrete slotted posts

• Concrete gravel boards 

Correctly matched posts and gravel boards help extend fence life by reducing ground contact and improving structural stability. 

Suitable for DIY & Trade Installations 

Closeboard fence panels are suitable for both DIY projects and professional fencing work. Pre-made panels allow for faster installation, while component-based systems provide flexibility for bespoke builds, sloping ground or non-standard fence runs. 

For heavier-duty or exposed sites, framed or reinforced closeboard options are available to provide additional strength.
