Fencing

Closeboard fencing.

Solid, secure and built to last — featheredge boards on concrete or timber posts with gravel boards.

Closeboard fencing with concrete posts installed by TBL Fencing

Closeboard is the strongest timber fence you can put up, and it is the one we fit most. Rather than dropping in a ready-made panel, the fence is built on site: gravel board at the bottom, arris rails across, then featheredge boards nailed on one at a time with an overlap. Nothing to blow out of a slot in a gale.

It suits a boundary you want to stop looking at — full privacy, no gaps, and a run that follows a sloping garden properly instead of stepping down in awkward jumps. Done right it will outlast the fence next to it by years.

What's included

  • Featheredge boards fitted with a proper overlap, not butted
  • Concrete or timber posts — concrete for the longest life, timber where the look matters
  • Concrete gravel boards to keep the timber up out of the wet
  • Arris rails through the run, capping rail on top where you want the cleaner finish
  • Trellis tops if you want height without a solid wall of timber
  • Old fence taken away and the ground left clear

Common questions

Concrete posts or timber posts?

Concrete lasts longest — it doesn't rot at ground level, which is where timber posts almost always fail first. Timber looks warmer and suits some gardens better. We'll tell you honestly which we'd use on your run, and price both if you want to compare.

Can closeboard follow a slope?

Yes, and it's one of the main reasons to choose it. Because the fence is built on site rather than dropped in as panels, the run can rake with the ground instead of stepping down in blocks with gaps underneath.

I always use Terry for my fencing and wouldn't go anywhere else. Whenever I've had storm damage, he's been so quick to come out and sort it — such a relief.

The guys did my garden fence which is a big fence — 114 foot. They were clean and tidy and finished in the time frame they said. Thank you so much TBL.
