Closeboard Fence Panels

Closeboard Fence Panels

Closeboard fence panels are the go to option when you need a strong, private boundary that stands up to British weather. Built with vertical featheredge boards on solid backing rails, they give immediate screening, a secure feel and a neat, level top line. At East Coast Fencing our closeboard fence panels are pressure treated and sized for standard UK bay centres, so setting out runs, planning heights and matching to existing work stays straightforward. Choose the specification that suits your exposure, pair with suitable posts, gravel boards and capping, and create a fence that works hard in day to day use.

Closeboard Fence Panels for Privacy and Strength

Closeboard fence panels are designed for maximum privacy and stiffness on exposed plots, overlooked patios and long back boundaries. The dense vertical cladding closes sightlines, while the heavier rails resist movement so the skyline stays straight in wind. Compared with overlap styles, closeboard has more presence, carries weight better and feels quieter in poor weather. Choose our heavy duty closeboard fence panels for most domestic and family gardens, or step up to ultra heavy duty closeboard fence panels where boundaries are very exposed, on hilltop plots or around corners where wind load concentrates.

Heights, Posts and Gravel Boards

Closeboard fence panels are manufactured to 1.83m widths, which keeps layout simple and makes it easier to replace existing fence panels. Heights range from modest dividing panels to full privacy screens, so you can tailor runs for side returns, rear boundaries and between neighbours. For low maintenance straight lines and easy future panel changes, combine closeboard with slotted concrete fence posts and concrete gravel boards. Where you want a warmer timber look and flexibility for tricky corners, wooden fence posts paired with timber gravel boards keep a continuous wood finish while still protecting cladding at ground level.

Installation, Finish and Buying Closeboard Fence Panels

Set end and corner posts first, pull a string line at the final top height and keep a small gap under the panel for airflow and easier mowing. Confirm post centres against panel width before concreting, and use appropriate cement products for stable footings. Finish the run with panel capping to protect board tops and give a consistent skyline, then choose a stain that suits your paving, brickwork and planting. When you are ready to buy, select heavy duty or ultra heavy duty closeboard fence panels, match them with your chosen posts and gravel boards, and add everything to basket.
