What Is Feather Edge?

Feather edge means wooden boards that are thick on one side and taper to a thin edge on the other. These boards are fixed vertically with overlaps to form sturdy, weatherproof panels. This design boosts strength and privacy, making pressure-treated fence boards a popular choice for UK boundaries. Treated for long life, they resist rot, decay, and insect attack, perfect for outdoor use.

Why Choose Feather Edge?

1. Superior Strength:

Feather edge boards overlap each other, giving extra support and withstanding strong winds. This makes them ideal for exposed outdoor areas.

2. Enhanced Privacy:

Closely fitted boards create a neat finish that blocks views, perfect for gardens, yards and private spaces.

3. Natural Timber Appeal:

With their natural, classic look, wooden fences fit beautifully into any garden or landscape while still offering solid protection.

4. Customisable Sizes:

You can choose from various lengths and thicknesses to suit your project needs.

Tailored Fence Heights: Pick the exact board length for low borders, privacy screens or tall boundary fences.

Multiple Thickness Options: Use thinner boards for light decorative fencing or thicker boards for heavy-duty security.

Adaptable for Sloped Ground: Step or angle your fence smoothly over uneven terrain for a polished finish.

Compatible with Different Posts and Rails: Sizes work easily with timber or concrete posts and with standard or heavy-duty rails.

5. Pressure Treated for Durability:

Most boards are pressure-treated to guard against rot, insects, and moisture, cutting down on upkeep and extending the fence’s life.

6. Cost-Effective Fencing Option:

Compared with panel fencing, feather edge is a cheaper, more adaptable choice, especially on uneven ground.

Common Uses of Feather Edge

1. Garden Boundary Fencing:

One of the most common uses of pressure-treated fencing is that it creates a sturdy and private border for residential gardens. Its natural timber look also enhances the overall aesthetic of outdoor spaces.

2. Commercial Property Boundaries:

Perfect for securing business properties, storage yards or warehouses with a neat, reliable barrier. It helps deter unauthorised access while keeping a tidy appearance.

3. Animal Enclosures:

Strong and safe for pets or livestock, these boards are used to build pens, enclosures, and field perimeters. Feather edge offers both visibility control and protection for animals.

4. Windbreak Structures:

The boards overlap, wooden fences cut wind impact, making them good for windy or coastal areas.
