Closeboard fencing creates a strong, solid privacy screen using vertical boards on rails between robust posts. It is a common solution for rear gardens where privacy and durability are priorities.
Typical closeboard specification
Runs are commonly built with pressure-treated boards, concrete-set posts and gravel boards where the ground retains moisture. This helps protect lower timber edges and maintain line stability over time.
Closeboard or feather edge?
Closeboard provides a more continuous visual screen, while feather edge overlap systems can be a lower-cost alternative in some layouts. We explain both options in your quote.
