Traditional timber fencing tends to come down to the basics, and this Wickes feather edge fence board sits in the standard range used for closeboard (featheredge) panels. It's the familiar overlapping style that competes with pre-made fence panels when you want more control over height, spacing and repairs, swap a single board rather than replacing a whole section.
Closeboard fencing: why choose feather edge boards?
Feather edge boards taper from thick to thin, so each one overlaps the next. That overlap helps reduce gaps as the timber moves with the weather, and it gives the fence a more solid, traditional look than hit-and-miss styles. At 1.5m long, it suits lower runs or can be cut down for stepped fencing on sloping gardens.
- 100mm wide: a common size for closeboard runs, balancing coverage with a neat overlap.
- 1.5m length: useful for shorter fence heights or trimming to fit.
