Closeboard Fencing Harrogate

Closeboard Fencing Harrogate

Closeboard fencing uses vertical boards nailed or screwed to horizontal arris rails between posts. Boards meet edge to edge, giving a solid face without the gaps found in lap panels. It is widely used on rear boundaries in Harrogate for privacy.

Construction details

Posts are typically 100 mm × 100 mm for runs up to 1.8 m, set in concrete. Gravel boards protect the bottom of the boards from soil contact. Capping rail optional.

Compare with feather edge fencing, where boards overlap rather than meet flush.

Frequently asked questions

How does closeboard differ from feather edge?

Closeboard boards abut for a completely solid face. Feather edge boards overlap slightly; feather edge is often lower cost but less completely opaque.

What maintenance does closeboard need?

Pressure-treated timber needs less immediate treatment than untreated wood. Periodic stain or oil extends appearance; we note treatment state in the quote.

Do you use gravel boards with closeboard in Harrogate?

Yes, where specified. Gravel boards lift the timber boards above soil contact, which helps on moisture-retentive ground common in parts of North Yorkshire.

What height can closeboard fencing be?

Rear garden closeboard is commonly installed up to 2 metres. Front boundaries may have lower limits. Height is stated in your written quote; planning compliance remains the property owner's responsibility.
