Closeboard Fencing Lincoln | Fencing Company Lincoln

Closeboard Fencing carried out for a property in Lincoln, Lincolnshire

Solid closeboard privacy

Vertical feathered boards nailed to arris rails create a solid screen with no gaps. Closeboard is a traditional choice for Lincoln rear gardens backing onto footpaths or open land.

Construction detail

Concrete posts, gravel boards and a timber capping rail finish the top. Boards run from gravel board to capping with consistent overlap.

Wind resistance

Solid boards catch more wind — post spacing and fixings are specified accordingly on exposed sites.

Custom lengths

Runs are built to measured bays rather than standard panel widths only.

Frequently asked questions

Closeboard vs feather edge — which is more private?

Closeboard is fully solid. Feather edge overlaps but can show slight shadow gaps over time.

How often should closeboard be treated?

Every two to three years with a suitable exterior wood treatment extends board life.

Can closeboard be used at the front?

Yes at permitted heights — often 1m at the front. Planning rules still apply.

Does closeboard need planning permission at 2m?

Usually not at the rear, unless your home is listed or in a conservation area. We flag restrictions on site.
