Closeboard Fencing
At 1st Home Improvements, we believe garden fences should structure and define outdoor spaces. It’s important to choose a fence that matches your garden style, whether classic or modern. The simple timber vertical slats of a closeboard fence provide a natural backdrop, complementing various home designs and garden landscapes. This traditional and versatile style is perfect for those who want a consistent garden aesthetic without frequently changing the fence.
Closeboard Fencing
Closeboard fencing, also known as featheredge fencing, is constructed using vertical overlapping wooden boards that are fixed to horizontal rails and supported by robust posts. The boards are usually tapered, with one edge thicker than the other, which allows them to overlap slightly when installed.
