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
  • Alignment, levelling and finishing



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
  • Accurate spacing and alignment
  • Strong foundations for long-term stability


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