The closebaord fence is often called feather edge fencing.
This is a common type of fencing used on property boundaries due to it’s height and ease of maintenance. At approximately 6ft high it gives a feeling of privacy. Closeboard fencing is renowned for its strength and versatility without sacrificing its appearance.
This is a common type of fencing used on property boundaries due to it’s height and ease of maintenance. At approximately 6ft high it gives a feeling of privacy. Closeboard fencing is renowned for its strength and versatility without sacrificing its appearance.
Closeboard fencing is formed of sawn timber with feather edge boards arranged vertically and supported by horizontal arris rails with gravel boards at the bottom. It can also be finished with a counter rail and a capping rail (recommended by Taskforce.gs), which looks beautiful and really makes an elegant design, not to mention adding further protection to the top. The gravel boards help by stopping the feather boards from touching the ground to stop rot.

Post and Rail Fencing
Post and Rail Fencing
Post and rail fencing comes in many different forms, and often include wire such as barbed wire and/or stock netting. The stakes can be pointed round, pointed half-round and square.
The design choices of an effective and correct stock-proof post and rail fence are foremost influenced by the desired function of the fence, and less important are the aesthetics over the form. For example; a half round rail is far stronger than a square sawn rail, so if you have some powerful frisky horses to keep safe and contain, half round rails are, in our opinion the best option.
Different Post and Rail Fence Designs
Different Post and Rail Fence Designs
Standard Stock-Proof Post and Rail Fencing
Standard Stock-Proof Post and Rail Fencing
The most common and universal Stock-Proof Post and Rail Fencing design is made up with round stakes, half round rails and often standard stock netting.
- A typical post and rail fence uses the following measurements and sizes;
- Round Stakes – 6ft long and 3/4 inches by diameter and spaced 6ft apart
- Half Round Rails – 12ft long and 4 inches wide
- The number of rails really depends on whether or not the fence requires netting, but is usually 3 or 4 rails.
- Using stock netting in addition to rails of course makes the fence more universal and better suited for various different types of animals, such as horses and sheep for example.

Most people think of picket fences as those cute cottage style fences only a few inches tall with spacing in between – however, some picket fencing can have the pickets aligned much closer to each other, and be 6ft (1.8m) to 8ft (2.4m) tall. Trellis can also be applied to the top of the fence, although the fence would normally be shadow picket fence, with pickets on the front and back, covering the spaces, just like a “Hit and Miss” fence.

TANALITH E pressure treated timber has a long term protection against fungal and insect attack, including termites, for both in and out of ground contact, interior and exterior applications when treated to the correct end use specification. TANALITH E pressure treated timber has an initial natural green colouration.
Upon external exposure, the green colour slowly weathers to a warm, honey brown and in the longer term becomes a natural silver grey.
