Closeboard Fencing Stafford

Closeboard Fencing Stafford

Closeboard fencing uses vertical boards nailed or screwed to horizontal arris rails between posts. Boards meet edge to edge, giving a solid face without the gaps found in lap panels. It is widely used on rear boundaries in Stafford for privacy.

Construction details

Posts are typically 100 mm × 100 mm for runs up to 1.8 m, set in concrete. Gravel boards protect the bottom of the boards from soil contact. Capping rail optional.

Compare with feather edge fencing, where boards overlap rather than meet flush.

Frequently asked questions

How does closeboard differ from feather edge?

Closeboard boards abut for a completely solid face. Feather edge boards overlap slightly; feather edge is often lower cost but less completely opaque.

What maintenance does closeboard need?

Pressure-treated timber needs less immediate treatment than untreated wood. Periodic stain or oil extends appearance; we note treatment state in the quote.

Is closeboard suitable for clay soil in Staffordshire?

Yes, with correctly sized concrete footings and gravel boards to keep boards clear of soil moisture. Clay holds water seasonally, so post depth is matched to panel height.

Can closeboard be used on a front boundary?

Closeboard is commonly used on rear gardens. Front boundaries may have lower height limits — we confirm the height in your quote.
