Closeboard & Featheredge Fencing
Strong, traditional fencing built board by board for privacy and durability
Closeboard fencing — also known as featheredge fencing — is one of the strongest and most popular styles of wooden fencing we install across Sleaford and Lincolnshire. Rather than ready-made panels, it is built on site board by board, which makes it far more robust and longer lasting than standard panel fencing.
Overlapping featheredge boards are fixed to horizontal rails and supported by sturdy timber or concrete posts, creating a solid, private boundary with no gaps. It is an excellent choice for exposed gardens, boundaries that take the wind, and anywhere you want a secure, good-looking fence that lasts for years.
We can finish closeboard fencing with a capping rail and gravel board to protect the base from ground moisture and give a neat, professional finish.
