Description
Feather edge boards are a popular choice for fencing and cladding projects. Recognised for their versatility, ease of installation, and traditional appearance, these boards offer an effective and practical solution for creating robust and attractive boundaries.
A feather edge board is a type of timber board that tapers across its width, this means it is thicker on one edge and gradually becomes thinner towards the other. This distinctive shape allows the boards to overlap during installation, providing excellent weather resistance and privacy.
Typical Uses
- Fencing: Feather edge boards are most commonly used for constructing closeboard fencing, a popular boundary option for gardens and properties
- Cladding: They can also be used for exterior wall cladding, offering a rustic and traditional finish
- Sheds and Outbuildings: The boards are suitable for constructing or repairing garden sheds, workshops, and similar structures
Key Features and Benefits
- Weather Resistance: The overlapping design helps water run off, protecting the structure behind from rain and wind
- Privacy and Security: Closeboard fencing constructed from feather edge boards provides a solid, private barrier
- Durability: When treated, feather edge boards are highly resistant to decay and insect attack
- Customisable: Boards are available in various lengths, widths, and thicknesses to suit different project requirements
- Traditional Appearance: The classic look of feather edge boards complements both period and modern properties
