Buying information
Choosing feather-edge boards
Why choose feather-edge fencing?
-
Custom fence runs:
Construct fencing around different boundary lengths and ground levels. -
Strong privacy:
Overlapping vertical boards reduce gaps and create effective screening. -
Individual repairs:
Damaged boards can be replaced without removing a complete fence panel.
Selecting the correct board length
Choose a board length that matches the intended finished fence
height while accounting for the position of the gravel board and
horizontal supporting rails.
Overlap and board quantity
Feather-edge boards must overlap to create a secure and consistent
fence face. Measure the complete boundary and calculate the quantity
using the finished width of each board after the planned overlap.
Include a small allowance for cutting and adjustments.
Supporting components
Feather-edge boards are normally installed onto suitable horizontal
rails supported by fence posts. A gravel board beneath the fencing
can help protect the timber from direct soil contact.
Installation guidance
Install each board vertically with a consistent overlap and suitable
exterior-grade fixings. Check the boards remain level and evenly
spaced as you progress along the boundary.
