More Information

A Standard closeboard panel is a fully framed and good quality, strong fence panel.
Vertically boarded using 125mm x 2ex 22mm feather edge, giving the look of a Closeboard fence, but with the easy installation of a fence panel.
These panels are 1.83m (6′0″) wide to replace any standard UK fence panel utilising the existing posts. They come in heights ranging from 1.8m down to 0.9m
If needed, standard closeboard panels can be fairly easily cut down to make a shorter-width panel.

Panel Materials

The materials used to make a Standard Closeboard Panel is pressure treated with a preservative before assembly to extend the panel’s life.

Each panel is fully framed, making a good strong panel. However, the timber used is cut from logs of mixed species, so there may be some variation in colouring.

Gravel boards

Fitting gravel boards under fence panels is a good idea. If the panels are not in direct contact with the ground, it will help to increase the panel’s useful life even more. In addition to wooden gravel boards, concrete or composite gravel boards can also keep the panels off of the ground.  This reduces the risk of the panel base suffering from premature decay.

Posts

They are suitable for use with wooden posts, concrete slotted or metal DuraPosts.

To secure the panels in position when using wooden posts, we have 75mm Galvanised Nails, although we recommend using 75mm External Woodscrews.

Closeboard Gate

A flat-top Rotherfield closeboard gate or curved-top Speldhurst closeboard gate can be used with these panels to provide a matching entranceway.
Note- The feather edge used on the gates is 100mm wide.
