Closeboard Fencing in Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire
Vertical feather-edge closeboard fencing built on arris rails with concrete posts for a solid boundary on sloping plots.
Solid closeboard boundaries
Closeboard fencing uses vertical feather-edge boards nailed to horizontal arris rails between posts. There are no gaps between boards, giving privacy and good resistance to wind on exposed Staffordshire plots.
Concrete posts with slotted centres are typical for long runs. Timber posts suit shorter garden lines.
Gravel boards and capping
A pressure-treated gravel board protects the bottom course from ground moisture — valuable on clay soil. Optional capping finishes the top rail neatly.

Frequently asked questions
Closeboard vs lap panels?
Closeboard is stronger and more private. Lap panels cost less but show gaps as boards shrink.
Can closeboard follow a curve?
Gentle curves are possible with closer post centres. Tight curves may need a different solution.
How long does closeboard last?
With treated timber and gravel boards, decades are achievable. Maintenance is lighter than untreated softwood.
Do you cap the posts?
Post caps are optional and recommended on timber posts to shed water.
