Feather Edge Gates
Feather edge gates provide a strong, traditional entrance for side passages, rear gardens and private boundaries. Their overlapping vertical boards create a solid face, making them a good choice where screening, security and a consistent timber finish are important.
East Coast Fencing supplies fully framed feather edge garden gates measuring 1.75m high by 0.9m wide. Choose from brown and green or natural pressure treated finishes to match the surrounding fence panels, posts and timber.
Fully Framed Garden Gates
Our feather edge gates have a fully framed construction designed to provide a stable and substantial garden entrance. The frame supports the vertical boards and helps the gate retain its shape through regular opening and closing.
This makes feather edge gates well suited to side entrances and rear boundaries where a taller, solid gate is preferred over a lighter open design.
Garden Privacy and Screening
The overlapping feather edge boards create a solid surface with no deliberate gaps, helping reduce direct views through the entrance. At 1.75m high, these gates provide useful screening for rear gardens, patios and access routes beside the home.
The final level of privacy will also depend on the ground clearance and the gaps left beside the gate for hinges and smooth operation.
Pressure Treated Feather Edge Gates
Our feather edge gates are pressure treated for outdoor use, helping protect the timber against rot and fungal decay. Brown treated gates provide a darker, more traditional appearance, while green or natural treated timber has a lighter finish that gradually weathers outdoors.
Timber is a natural material, so variations in grain, knots and colour are expected. The appearance may also differ slightly from existing fencing that has already been exposed to sunlight and weather.
Gates for Closeboard Fencing
Feather edge gates are designed to complement closeboard fence panels and fencing built from individual feather edge boards. The shared vertical boarding creates a consistent appearance across the gate and surrounding boundary.
They can also be used within other solid timber fence runs where a traditional, private entrance is required.
Feather Edge or Picket Gates?
Feather edge gates provide solid screening and are best suited to side entrances, rear gardens and boundaries where privacy is a priority.
Picket gates have an open design that allows light and views through, making them better suited to front gardens, paths and lower decorative boundaries.
Gate Posts and Furniture
Pair your feather edge gate with suitable gate posts capable of supporting its weight and regular movement. The hinge post should be strong and securely positioned, with enough space allowed for the hinges, latch and operating gaps.
Complete the entrance with suitable hinges, latches and bolts from our garden gate furniture range. Choose exterior fittings that suit the gate size, opening direction and level of access control required.
