Feather Edge & Closeboard Fencing in Alton

Closeboard uses vertical feather edge boards fixed to horizontal rails between posts. Each tapered board overlaps the next, forming a continuous screen that suits gardens where privacy is the main priority.

The boards, rails and posts work as a system, so their specification matters. A damaged board can usually be replaced separately later, rather than changing a complete framed panel.

Alton properties with sloping gardens or irregular boundary lines benefit from a fence built in place. We set out the run first and adjust the construction to the measured ground rather than forcing panels into unsuitable gaps.

Pressure-treated timber, properly supported rails and gravel boards help keep the fence serviceable. Timber or concrete posts and a capping rail can be included according to the setting and your preferred finish.

Featheredge fencing is a useful choice behind a patio, alongside a shared boundary or where an open view into the garden needs screening. It gives a consistent timber face without the gaps of open rail fencing.

We check access, exposure and the condition of any existing posts at a free visit. Your written quote then specifies the boards, support structure and clearance, with optional finishes discussed before work starts.
