Featheredge profile and treatment
Our featheredge boards are made by sawing a 22mm board at an angle to produce two tapered pieces. The 22mm measurement refers to the original board, rather than the finished thickness.
Each piece is approximately 15–18mm at the thick edge, tapering to approximately 0–6mm at the feathered edge. Thickness varies with sawmill tolerances, including between pieces from the same batch.
Sold individually: each quantity ordered is one featheredge piece, not a pair.
Our featheredge boards are mixed-species softwood, pressure treated to Use Class 3 (UC3).
The tapered featheredge profile is designed to overlap vertically. Board width, overlap and total fence length determine how many boards are needed.
How many feather edge boards do I need?
Use the Featheredge Fence Calculator to calculate boards together with the posts, rails, gravel boards and Postmix for the full run rather than estimating each component separately.
Installing the fence yourself? See our step-by-step feather edge fence guide for our normal post centres, rail count, 25mm overlap and fixing position.
What else do I need for a featheredge fence?
A typical build also needs fence posts, fence rails and gravel boards. For fixing, see sherardised annular ring nails and exterior wood screws. Set suitable posts with Postmix.
For a finished top edge, add the Treated Fence Capping Rail. If you want standard framed bays instead of building board by board, choose the Treated Featheredge Fence Panel. A matching Featheredge Garden Gate is also available for pedestrian access.
Using featheredge as cladding?
These boards can also be used as traditional overlapping weatherboarding. For shed, outbuilding and exterior cladding projects, browse Timber Cladding for the wider cladding range and profile choices.
