CLOSE-BOARD FENCING

Close-board fencing is sometimes confused with feather-edge, but it is a totally different style. Once again it is constructed using 100x100mm timber posts set in concrete with two or three horizontal cross-rails of 38x100mm.

Close up detail

It can be constructed with either 25x100mm, 25x150mm or 19x150mm palings. Palings are either butted up to each other or have a small 5mm gap dependant on customers preference. It can be of any height and is the easiest fence to finish with a bow top if required. It is perhaps the strongest timber fence of them all and if made with no gaps it gives the garden plenty of privacy. However, in hot, dry weather the gaps may open up slightly, so for complete privacy feather-edge is the best bet.
