Closeboard fencing, built to stand
Closeboard is the strongest timber fence for most gardens. We build it on site, board by board, on posts set deep in concrete.

Each bay has two or three arris rails between the posts, with overlapping featheredge boards nailed to them and a gravel board along the bottom. Because it is built on site, it follows the slope of your garden instead of stepping down in panel-sized jumps.
We use concrete posts or 100 mm pressure-treated timber posts rated for ground contact, set at least 600 mm deep in concrete. All timber is treated to Use Class 4, and every cut end is treated again before it goes in.

Sixty metres of closeboard round a new-build garden
The builder's lap panels had blown down twice. We replaced them with 1.8 metre closeboard on concrete posts, following the slope of the garden. Finished in three days.

Concrete or timber posts?
Concrete posts last longest and carry a 25-year maker's warranty. Timber posts look softer from both sides. Both are set 600 mm deep in concrete.
How high can my fence be?
Up to 2 metres in a back garden without planning permission, or 1 metre next to a road or footpath. Listed buildings and some conservation areas have extra rules, and we check for you.
