Feather edge fencing materials
This collection brings together the main components for a traditional feather edge or closeboard fence: loose featheredge boards, timber posts, fence rails, gravel boards, fixings and Postmix. It is the best starting point when you want to build a fence run from individual boards rather than buy ready-made panels.
Prefer steel posts? Featheredge and closeboard fencing can also be built with DuraPost steel fence posts, giving you a traditional timber fence face with a galvanised steel post system.
Planning a complete featheredge fence
For a straight run, start with the Featheredge Fence Calculator. It works out the likely quantities for boards, posts, rails, gravel boards, Postmix and fixings from the total length and height. You can then add the materials to your basket and adjust the product choices before checkout.
Boards, panels and installation help
Choose Pressure Treated Featheredge Boards if you are building board by board. Choose Treated Featheredge Fence Panels if you want ready-made framed closeboard panels. For fitting guidance, see our step-by-step feather edge fence guide, including post centres, rail counts, overlap and fixing position.
Using featheredge for cladding?
Some featheredge boards are used as traditional overlapping weatherboarding. If your project is cladding-led rather than fencing-led, browse Timber Cladding as well as these fencing materials.
