What is Closeboard Fencing?
Closeboard fencing (also known as feather edge fencing) is constructed using vertical timber boards that overlap, creating a solid and continuous panel.
It typically includes:
- Timber posts or concrete posts
- Horizontal rails
- Overlapping feather edge boards
This construction creates a strong, durable fence that offers excellent privacy and protection.
Benefits of Closeboard Fencing

Our Closeboard Fencing Installation Process
Proper installation is essential to ensure your fence remains secure and long-lasting.
Our process includes:
- Removal of old fencing (if required)
- Installation of strong fence posts
- Fixing horizontal rails
- Attaching overlapping boards

This ensures a stable and durable fencing system.
Ground Preparation and Fence Post Installation
The most important part of closeboard fencing is the installation of the posts.
We ensure:
- Proper depth for all fence posts
- Secure fixing using concrete or appropriate materials

Without properly installed posts, fencing can become unstable, which is why we prioritise this stage on every project.
