Feather Edge Boards & Fencing

Feather edge fence boards are individual wooden slats which are overlapped onto a timber frame to create a full fence. 

Our feather edge fence boards or slats are treated softwood timber that is manufactured by our sawmill next door, Premier Sawmilling. The treatment which is applied to the fence slats results in either a subtle green or a natural brown finish and provides additional protection and durability.

How are Feather Edge Boards Used?

Feather edge boards are available to buy individually and are fitted onto a timber fence frame.  The frame is made up of posts and rails, often with a gravel board at the bottom.  The feather edge boards are fitted vertically to the frame.  This gives greater flexibility in terms of the size of the fence  - if a 1.8m classic featheredge fence panel doesn’t fit, you can use feather edge boards to fit the space you need to be covered. 

Feather Edge Boards for Sloping Gardens

Not only can you make the feather edge boards fence as long as you want without having to cut down a panel, you can also fit the boards at different heights to hug sloping ground in your garden.

Easy-to-Repair Fencing

Feather edge board fencing is also easy to repair, since the individual boards or fence slats can be replaced easily.  

What do I need to Build a Feather Edge Fence?
